A dressmaker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labor. Another dressmaker can sew 400 garments wit

faust18 [17]

Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker

Compute the Cost of Goods Manufactured and Cost of Goods Sold for Strike Marine Company for the most recent year using the amoun

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the direct material used and the manufacturing overhead:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 22,000 + 74,000 - 34,000

Direct material used= $62,000

Manufacturing overhead:

Insurance on plant $9,500

Depreciation-plant building and equipment 12,600

Repairs and maintenance-plant 3,900

Indirect labor 42,000

Total overhead= $68,000

Now, we can determine the cost of goods manufactured:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 41,000 + 62,000 + 88,000 + 68,000 - 27,000

cost of goods manufactured= 232,000

Finally, the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 13,000 + 232,000 - 21,000

COGS= $224,000

American Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $52 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has be

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

If American produces the new compound, profit will increase by $88,000

Explanation:

increase in selling price = selling price of new variant of chemical - selling price of chemical compound

= $83 - $52

= $31

Net increase in profit = total increase in selling price - additional processing cost

= $31*8000 - $160000

= $248000 - $160000

= $88,000

Therefore, If American produces the new compound, profit will increase by $88,000.

net increase in profit =

Unitary elastic

Elasticity of demand is unitary elastic because the absolute value of elasticity is equal to 1.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (25 - 15) / 25 = 0.4 × 100 = 40%

Percentage change in price = ($5 - $7) / $5 = 0.4 × 100 = 40%

Elasticity of demand = 40% / 40% = 1

If coefficient of elasticity is equal to 1, demand is unit elastic. It means that a change in price has an equal efect on the quantity demanded. Quantity demanded has an equal and proportional change to changes in price.
