Answer:
False
Explanation:
A firm should end production and shut down only when its total revenue falls below variable costs, because at this point, production will bring about more losses, compared to if the company isn't producing at all.
<u>If total revenue exceeds and can cover its variable cost, a firm should remain in operation in the short run</u> (even if it is incurring losses), as this contributes to paying off the firm's fixed costs.
Answer:
a. 41.6 million
b. 42.28 million
Explanation:
A) GIven
forecast in june = Sjune = 42 million
Checks recived in june = Xjune = 40 million
Smoothing constant = a = 0.2
So for july
Sjuly = a*Xjune + (1-a)*Sjune
=0.2*40 + (1-0.2)*42 million
=8+33.6 = 41.6 million
B) forecast in july = Sjuly = 41.6 million
Checks recived in july = Xjuly = 45 million
Smoothing constant = a = 0.2
So for August
Saugust = a*Xjuly + (1-a)*Sjuly
=0.2*45 + (1-0.2)*41.6 million
=9+33.28 = 42.28 million
<em>Note: This uses an exponential smoothing to forecast the results, but from the number of checks recived we see that it increases linearly. So we need a linear forecasting method .</em>
Answer:
Without technology we can’t improve our life. And without improving technology we are stuck. Technology is solving all kinds of problems in the world. You can’t remove the problems, there will still be here even if you stop improving technology. And if you solve them, more problems will come. So technology is used to continuously solve problems, to improve people’s life, economy, education, and so on. What I think is that technology is one of the pillar of world development. If you remove it, everything else will fall.

Answer:
MW Company
Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660
= $82 per order
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production = 16,500 units
Direct labor = 19,800 hours
Machine hours = 21,450 hours
No. of orders = 660
No. of shipments = 165
Order-processing cost pool = $54,120
Shipping cost pool = $14,025
Assembly cost pool = $71,280
Activity rate for order process = $54,120/660
= $82 per order
b) MW Company uses an activity-based costing system to identify its activities into cost pools and assign the cost of each activity pool to the products and services according to their actual consumption of the activities. The activity-based costing technique provides a more accurate method for determining the costs of products and services. As a more accurate method for pricing decisions than other traditional methods, activity-based costing technique increases management's understanding of overheads and cost drivers and makes activities that are costly and non-value adding to become more visible, allowing managers to reduce or eliminate them, because these activities add costs to the production system.
