Answer:
Option D. Shut down because staying open would be more expensive.
Explanation:
The reason is that the total variable cost is lower than the total revenue which means the company can not reduce its variable cost so it is meaningless to produce the product. So the best option left is not to generate loss by simply shutting down the business.
Answer:
d) $38,000 Debit balance.
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated Total Overhead Costs / Estimated Direct Labor Costs
= $472000 / $2,360,000
= 0.2
= 20% of direct labor costs.
Applied overheads = (20%*Actual direct labor costs)
Applied overheads = 20% * $1,980,000
Applied overheads = $396,000
So, Overhead under-applied = $434,000 - $396,000 = $38,000 (Debit)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, the question is incomplete. Indeed, there is no question at all, just a series of statements.
What we can do is to comment on this case.
We are talking about the story of Bob Bell and Michael Sharpe.
Royalties were the main reason for this dispute. Bob Bell was the engineer that invented the bicycle trailer. Michale Sharpe would focus on Marketing the product due to his experience with computers and sales. Sharpe wanted both to share the financial risks but Bell considered it hos invention and wanted more royalties. Things went in the wrong direction, the situation got worse and they both hired lawyers in Toronto, Canada.
After disputes and legal actions, Bell won the case and he could expanse his business nationwide and signed an agreement with a Chinese company to sell the product. On the other hand, Sharpe made a 180-degree turn and started a fitness business.
Answer: Plan A has a lower present value and should be chosen.
Explanation:
Choose the one that has the lower present value because that means that it would be cheaper.
Present value of plan A = $4,900
Present value of plan B
= $500 + Present value of $210.30 per month for 30 months
$210.30 is constant so it is an annuity.
Periodic interest rate = 24%/12 = 2%
Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - (1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate
= 210.30 * ( 1 - (1 + 2%)⁻³⁰) / 2%
= $4,709.97
Present value of plan B = 500 + 4,709.97
= $5,209.97
Choose Plan A because it has a lower present value.
Answer: Option D
Explanation: Expenses incurred by business in day to day to operations are called costs. These costs can be divided as follows:-
FIXED COST : These are the cost which are independent of the level of output.
VARIABLE COST : These are the cost which varies as per the level of output.
Increase in the level of production will increase the electricity consumption, also consumption of direct materials is directly related to number of units produced. Wages of workers are usually dependent on the output they produce. Hence, only insurance premium is a fixed cost as the company has to pay it irrespective of the level of output.
