Answer:

The total economic cost is $40,500 per year

Explanation:

The total economic cost per year is equal to the sum of:

* The opportunity cost relating to sacrificing the current work Greg is working on which is equal to his yearly salary of : $40,00.

* The opportunity cost relating to sacrificing the interest income earned on $10,000 saving, which he is now used for purchasing equipment, which is calculated as: 10,000 * current rate of savings = 10,000* 5% = $500 ( total cost of equipment is not included because e could sell the equipment for what he​ paid later on).

=> So, total economic cost per year is $40,000 + $500 = $40,500.

The question is incomplete as it is missing the figures. The complete question is,

Mercer, Inc. provides the following data for​ 2019:

Net Sales Revenue 598000

Cost of Goods Sold 350000

The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is​ ________. (Round your answer to two decimal​ places.)

Answer:

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%

Explanation:

The gross profit is a profit earned by a business through its trading activity. It is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from the net sales revenue and it is the profit earned by a business before deducting any operating and non operating expenses of the business.

Gross profit = Net Sales - Cost of goods sold

Gross Profit = 598000 - 350000   = $248000

The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is,

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = Gross profit / Net Sales

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 248000 / 598000

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%

seropon [69]

Answer:

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

Explanation:

<em>The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead  of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.</em>

Allocation of Overhead

Janitorial overhead

Cutting = 6/(6+54)×   $5,000 = $500

Pruning =54/(6+54) ×  $5,000= $4,500

Maintenance overhead

Cutting = 9/(9+1)×   $7,800 = $7020

Pruning =1/(9+1) ×  $7,800= $780

Total cost of production department

Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020

Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

Activity Variance for "Travel expenses" for May would have been closest to:

$1,500 Favorable

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

                           Fixed Element         Variable Element per  

                              per Month              Customer Served

Revenue                                                        $5,500

Employee salaries

 and wages            $46,300                         $1,000

Travel expenses                                             $ 500

Other expenses    $32,500

The Travel Expenses Activity Variance = Actual cost minus budgeted cost

= $8,500 - $10,000

= $1,500 Favorable

Actual travel expenses = ($500 x 17)

= $8,500

Budgeted travel expenses =  ($500 x 20)

= $10,000

Pattison Corporation's activity variance for Travel Expenses for the month of May is the difference between the actual travel expenses and the budgeted travel expenses.  The budgeted expenses are based on budgeted number of customers served in May while the actual expenses are based on actual number of customers served in May.
