Suppose that Jane’s income increases from $1700 per month to $2300. At the same time, her consumption changes from $1050 per mon

Answer:

0.3333 or 33.33%

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to consume is determined as the ratio between the monetary change in consumption to the change in income.

From $1050 to $1250, Jane increased her consumption by $200.

From $1700 to $2300, Jane's income increased by $600.

Her marginal propensity to consume is:

MPC=\frac{200}{600}=0.3333=33.33\%

Finished Goods

Account Title                     Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead  15,000

3. Journal Entry for item (g):

Debit Finished Goods $607,000

Credit Work in Process $592,000

Credit Manufacturing overhead $15,000

To record the cost of manufactured parts, including the under-applied overhead.

4. Cost of goods sold = 10,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $379,375

(While Ending Inventory = 6,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $227,625.)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $4,800,000

Estimated machine hours = 240,000

Overhead rate = $4,800,000/240,000 = $20 per machine hour

Actual cost data for January:

Number of machine parts = 16,000

Raw materials purchased on account = $325,000

Raw materials cost:

 Direct materials = $232,000 (80% of $290,000)

 Indirect materials = $58,000 (20% of $290,000)

Labor cost

 Direct labor = $60,000 ($180,000 * 1/3)

 Indirect labor = $120,000 ($180,000 * 2/3)

Manufacturing overhead:

 Depreciation = $75,000

 Others = $62,000

 Indirect materials = $58,000

 Indirect labor = $120,000

Total actual overhead incurred = $315,000

Machine hours actually worked = 15,000

b) Other Accounts

1. Expenses Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead               62,000

2. Depreciation Expense - Equipment

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead              $75,000

3. Raw Materials Account

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Accounts Payable      $325,000

Work in Process                             $232,000

Manufacturing overhead                   58,000

4. Accounts Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Raw Materials                                $325,000

c) The manufacturing overhead applied is $300,000 (15,000 machines hours actually used multiplied by $20 overhead rate), while the actual overhead costs incurred total $315,000.  So there is an under-applied overhead of $15,000 which is charged to Finished Goods in order to obtain the correct cost of 16,000 custom-made machined parts.

At the profit-maximizing level of output
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

Explanation:

The profit-maximizing level of output for every type of firm is reached when the marginal revenue of production equals the marginal cost meaning that the additional cost of selling one more unit equals the cost of producing one more unit.

Marginal costs vary according to changes in production. Because of that, managers must identify when those events happen to calculate the profit margin (percentage sales that are converted into profits) of the firm to avoid losses.

You own 100 shares of Troll Brothers' stock, which currently sells for $120 a share. The company is about to declare a 2-for-1 s
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

You will have 200 shares of stock, and the stock will trade at or near $60 a share.

Explanation:

When a company declares a 2-for-1 stock split, its shares' value is cut by half, while the number of stocks of each share holder doubles.

If, before the split, the stock had a value of $120 per share, after the stock split it will sell for close to $60 a share.

If you previously had a position of 100 shares of Troll Brothers' stock, after the 2-for-1 split you will have 200 shares.

Therefore, you will have 200 shares of stock, and the stock will trade at or near $60 a share.

Solve the simultaneous equation <br>y+x=4<br>2y-x=5​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

<h2>Value of X = 1</h2>

<h2>Value of y = 3</h2>

Solution,

Using substitution method,

y + x = 4

Move 'x' to the left hand side and change its sign:

y = 4 - x --------> equation (i)

Now,

2y - X = 5

putting the value of y from equation (i)

2( 4 - x ) - X = 5

8 - 2x - x = 5

8 - 3x = 5

- 3x = 5 - 8

- 3x = - 3

The difference sign (-) will be cancelled in both sides

3x = 3

3x/3 = 3/3

X = 1

Value of X is 1

Now, replacing the value of X in equation (i)

y = 4 - x

= 4 - 1

= 3

Value of y is 3

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Michael receives a monthly salary of $2500 plus a commission of 2% of total orders written. If his orders for the month were $34
Bumek [7]

Answer:

$3,180

Explanation:

Monthly salary would be the base salary = $2500

Since he would earn 2% of all orders, calculate the dollar value of the commission when total orders amount to $34000;

Commission = 2% *34000 = $680

His total pay would be calculated by adding the base salary to the commission amount;

Total pay = base salary + commission

Total pay = $2500 + $680

Total pay = $3,180
