Answer:

Decreases by 50 percent

Explanation:

The law of supply asserts that other things remaining constant, the quantity of goods and services supplied increases as price rises. Therefore, the price and quantity supplied are directly related. Should the price fall, the quantity supplied will also decrease. Producers will prefer to supply more when the price is high to make more revenue.

The supply curve is upward sloping indicating how quantity supplied changes at different price levels. In the case, the price has decreased from $4 to $2, which represents a 50 percent drop. The quantities supplied will decrease as per the law of supply. A 50 percent decrease may result in a similar decrease in quantity supplied as the supply curve is upward sloping.

Sales volume plays a large role in determining per unit costs in the cost-plus pricing approach.

gulaghasi [49]

That statement is true.
In the cost-plus pricing approach, you add up all the cost needed for the product (material, direct labor, and overhead) and then calculate it with mark-up percentage in order to determine the price that you should set for your product.
Since cost per unit is determined by total products/total cost, sales volume played a large role in determining per unit costs

An owner withdrawal of $20,000 would_______.

brilliants [131]

An owner who withdraws an amount of $20000 would lead to decrease in the assets and the owner's equity by $20000.

Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

Assets are the things which are owned by the owner of the organisation and provide economic benefits. Liabilities are things which are the obligation on the owner of the company that he has to pay off. Equity is the share of the share holder of the company.

If an owner with draws or takes out money from the business for the personal use, it would lead to the decrease in the amount of the assets of the owner. It would also lead to the decrease in the amount of equity of the owner because he has taken out his share from the business for his personal use and not for the business.

At the end of the first month of operations, the Lamar Company's accountant prepared financial statements that showed the follow

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Assets = $87,350

Liabilities = $30,450

Stockholders' Equity = $56,900

Net Income = $7,900

Explanation:

The correct amounts of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity at month-end and net income for the month can be determined as follows:

Assets = Recorded asset value - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue = $90,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 = $87,350

Liabilities = Recorded liabilities + Unpaid wages = 30,000 + 450 = $30,450

Stockholders' Equity = Recorded Stockholders' Equity - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue - Unpaid wages = $60,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 - $450 = $56,900

Net Income = Recorded net income - Depreciation + Unbilled service revenue - Unpaid wages = 11,000 - $4,500 + $1,850 - $450 = $7,900

Note that from the above calculations, we can obtain:

Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $30,450 + $56,900 = $87,350

This therefore confirms the accounting equation that:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity = $87,350

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Overhead Cost Category (Activity Cost Pool) Cost

Supervision $2,160

Depreciation of machinery $28,840

Assembly line preparation $23,000

Total overhead $54,000

Supervision

Direct labor cost ($) $6,200 $11,800 $18,000

Depreciation of machinery

Machine hours 400 hours 800 hours 1,200 hours

Assembly line preparation Setups (number)

32 times 93 times 125 times

overhead costs assigned to Rounded Edge

supervision = $2,160 x ($6,200 / $18,000) = $744

depreciation = $28,840 x (400 / 1,200) = $9,613

assembly line preparation = $23,000 x (32/125) = $5,888

total overhead costs = $16,245

overhead costs assigned to Squared Edge

total overhead costs = $54,000 - $16,245 = $37,755

total costs assigned to Rounded Edge

materials $9,500

direct labor $6,200

overhead $16,245

total $31,945

cost per foot = $31,945 / 10,500 = $3.0424 per foot

total costs assigned to Squared Edge

materials $21,600

direct labor $11,800

overhead $37,755

total $71,155

cost per foot = $71,155 / 14,000 = $5.0825 per foot

3) The average cost per foot of Rounded Edge decreased because lower overhead costs were allocated to their production.

The average cost per foot of Squared Edge increased because higher overhead costs were allocated to their production.
