Answer:
Jarrod is demonstrating initiative.
Explanation:
Initiative is to take a lead in an activity without being told, you research better ways to do things and implement them without being reminded. Taking initiative at times involves doing something that is not necessarily your duty but you do it anyway. Most employees that show initiative always gain trust of their superiors since they feel like you don't need to be supervised to do your job. Taking initiative also exposes one to numerous opportunities. In modern times, organizations have a need for employees who can take initiative and think on their feet by finding solutions to problems without necessarily being coerced into taking action. Initiative is an important skill that can be developed. The following examples are ways on developing initiative;
1. Develop a career plan
2. Gain some confidence in your self
3. Self assess to work on your weaknesses
4. Develop the skill of spotting opportunities for growth

Please check the explanation below.
Explanation:
Full costing is also known as absorption costing. Under the full costing method, all the costs of production (whether fixed or variable) are included in the product cost and are therefore, allocated to each unit produced during the period. Selling and administrative expenses (whether fixed or variable) are treated as period costs under this method.
A major disadvantage of the full costing method is that it results in higher profit if the volume of production exceeds the volume of sales during the relevant period. It is so because some portion of the fixed cost will get included in the ending inventory. This method, can therefore, be used by managers to inflate profits by showing an increase in production.
Full costing method is generally method for external reporting purposes. For decision making and internal reporting purposes, managers prefer to use variable costing method. Under, variable costing method, fixed expenses (all type) are treated as period costs and are not included in the product costs. Only the variable costs of production are included in producting costs. This method relies on the premise of "Contribution" margin which is commonly used as the basis for decision making in various complex situations/scenarios.
Full costing method will not preferably be used in the following 2 situations:
1) decisions relating to special orders
2) where a make or buy decision is required to be made
In both the above cases, we will have to consider only the relevant costs (which are generally variable in nature) in order to make a decision. For instance, a company operating at 70% of the capacity can accept a special order if the price offered by the customer exceeds the variable cost of producing those units. It is so because the fixed manufacturing costs will have to be incurred by the company irrespective of the fact whether it accepts or rejects the special order.
Answer:
1. 4,000 bags
2. 1,000
3. 180 runs
4. 18,000
5. $165,600
Explanation:
1.
Q = 
= 4,000 bags
2.
Maximum Inventory = Q* (1 - D/N/P)
4,000*0.25
= 1,000
3.
Annual demand / Bags of coffee roasted per day
36,000 bags / 200 bags
= 180 runs
4.
Annual average inventory
36,000/2
=18,000
5.
Production Cost $200 * 180 runs = $36,000
Carrying Cost $3.6 * 36,000 bags = $129,600
Total Cost = $36,000 + $129,600
= $165,600
Answer:
The answer is $221
Explanation:
LIFO means Last in First out i.e the inventory that was bought last will be sold out first.
Opening balance:
November 1: 5 units at $19 each
Purchased:
November 2: 10 units at $21 each
Purchased:
November 6: 6 units at $24 each
Sold:
November 8: 10 units at $54 each
Total number of units bought plus Beginning inventory = 5 + 10 + 6 = 21 units
Therefore, number of units remaining at November 8 after sales is 21 - 10
=11 units.
So according to LIFO, we have:
6 units at $21 = $126
5units at $19 = $95
$95 + $126
=$221
Answer:
Lowest selling price= $28
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $8
Direct labor $9
Variable manufacturing overhead= $7
A special order has been received by Landor for a sale of 25,000 fans to an overseas customer.
The only selling costs that would be incurred on this order would be $4 per fan for shipping.
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will not take into account the fixed costs.
<u>The minimum selling price is the one that equals the unitary variable cost. It is not a price sustainable long term.</u>
<u />
Unitary variable cost= 8 + 9 + 7 + 4= $28
Lowest selling price= $28
