Answer: 60%
Explanation:
Find the ending work in process.
Materials are complete at inception so the Equivalent units of Materials represent the total units.
Ending WIP will therefore be:
= Materials EUP - Units started and completed
= 5,000 - 3,500
= 1,500 units
Stage of completion is based on Conversion.
Conversion EUP = Total started and completed + (x% * Closing WIP)
4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)
4,400 = 3,500 + 15x
15x = 4,400 - 3,500
15x = 900
x = 900/15
x = 60%
<em>Conversion is 60% complete so this is the stage of completion. </em>
Answer:
Benefits from related & unrelated diversification.
Explanation:
Firms' benefit(s) from related diversification :
- Building & developing market power - By sharing the related diversification going on in entire industry.

Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
An increase in the cost of fishing will lead to a decrease in the supply of fishes. This happens because the suppliers will be able to supply less at the same cost.
So the supply curve will move to the left. This leftward shift in the supply curve will cause the equilibrium price to increase and the equilibrium quantity to decrease.
All the other options would have caused the equilibrium quantity to increase either through increased demand or increased supply.
Answer:
If both companies have the sames sales volume, total costs and income from operations, the reason why Gouda has a lower break even point is that their variable costs are lower. We use the contribution margin per unit to calculate the break even point and the contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs. The question states that total costs are equal, but it doesn't say anything about variable or fixed costs.
Assuming that Gouda is above break even point, each sale will generate a higher operating profit since the contribution margin is higher.
