Answer:

a) must accept market price for its physical capital inputs.

Explanation:

The price of gold in the commodity market is being influenced by market speculation.  Market speculation implies investors are trying to profit from the changing prices of gold.  When the market is active, the price of gold will be moving up and down depending on demand.

The current prices are high is a motivation to sell. For I'maGoldMiner to profit from the current high prices, it must continue with production. In the event the prices of physical capital inputs change, the company must accept the new prices.  The high selling prices will assist the company in absorbing any changes input costs. That way, the company will maximize on the current high prices.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

‘Cash Flow Statement’ is one of major financial statement that indicates the inflow and outflow of cash along with the reasons by categorizing each cash transaction in three activities i.e., operating, investing or financing activity. Non-cash transactions are not considered while preparing a cash flow statement.

The cash flow from operating activities is generally more than the net income after taxes.

The cash flow from operating activities includes only the cash transactions relating to the operations of the business. It ignores the non-cash transactions. On the other hand, net income is derived after deducting all the expenses (paid or unpaid) from the revenue earned, pertaining to a particular period.

Example: Depreciation expense is a non-cash transaction. It is treated as follows:

While calculating cash flow from operating activities, depreciation expense is ignored (added back to the net income) as it is a non-cash transaction.

On the other hand, depreciation expense pertaining to the accounting period is deducted from revenue to calculate net income after taxes.

Thus, the cash flow from operations is generally more than the net income after taxes.

Merone Company allocates materials handling cost to the company's two products using the below data:
koban [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Modular Homes - Prefab Barns

Total expected units produced 6,200 9,200

Expected direct labor-hours per unit 820 320

The total materials handling cost for the year is expected to be $321,120.

First, we need to calculate the total amount of expected direct-labor hours, because it will be used as the allocation base:

Total direct-labor hours= (6,200units*820hours) + (320hours*9,200units)= 8,028,000 hours

Now, we can determine the estimated manufacturing overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 321,120/8,028,000= $0.04 per direct labor hour

Finally, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated overhead= 0.04* (320hours*9,200units)= $117,760
