Answer:

Smart Stream Inc.

a) Total costs:

Variable costs:

Direct materials = $1,500,000 ($150 x 10,000)

Direct labor = $250,000 ($25 x 10,000)

Factory overhead = $400,000 ($40 x 10,000)

Selling and Administrative = $250,000( $25 x 10,000)

Total variable costs = $2,400,000 ($240 x 10,000)

Fixed Costs:

Factory overhead = $350,000

Selling and admin = $140,000

Total fixed costs = $490,000

I) Total costs = variable plus fixed costs = $2,890,000 ($2,400,000 + 490,000)

II) Total cost per unit = $289 ($2,890,000/10,000)

Explanation:

The total cost method includes all the costs in arriving at the unit cost before adding the desired profit to arrive at the selling price of a product.

Total costs include the cost of goods sold and the expenses incurred in running the business for the period.

It is unlike the product cost-plus and variable cost-plus approaches to product pricing.  For the product cost-plus approach, only the costs of production is taken into consideration for arriving at the selling price.  In that case, the costs of direct materials and labor, and factory overheads would be considered, while variable and fixed selling and administrative costs are excluded.   The unit cost would have been $250.

The variable cost-plus approach considers only the variable elements of costs to arrive at the selling price.  These include the direct materials and labor costs, and variable element of the factory overhead and selling and administrative expenses.  The unit cost would have been $240 as stated in the question.

These different cost-plus pricing approaches are more suitable for some industries than others.  No matter the choice made, it must be noted that they result in different selling prices and can affect the competitiveness of a company.

How U.S industries will be affected by lifting the embargo?
maria [59]

U.S. President Donald Trump checked one more item on his “To Undo” list of Obama administration actions last Friday when he reset the U.S. policy on Cuba. While the new policy restricts individual tourist travel and business investment in more than half of Cuban industry, it retains many smaller features like permitting family-related travel and professional/academic visits to the country. Among the immediate casualties will be a burgeoning tourism and hospitality industry that sprung up in Cuba after Barack Obama’s friendly overtures began two years ago.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Debit Expenses $90,000; credit Accrued wages and salary $90,000

Explanation:

If we assume that the City of Juneau maintains its books and records to facilitate the preparation of its fund financial statements. The employees paid from the general fund had earned $90,000 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (June 28, 29, and 30).

The entry, if any, should be made in the city’s general fund on June 30 is to: Debit Expenses $90,000; credit Accrued wages and salary $90,000

The amount has been incurred in the month but has not been paid hence it has to be captured as expenses for the month of June while the double entry will be that the amount is captured as accrued wages signifying that it has not been paid within the period it was incurred

Why are the incentives of a supplier the opposite of the incentives of a demander
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The incentives of a supplier are the opposite of the incentives of a demander because it is a relationship whose nature makes supply and demand inversely proportional to each other: the higher the supply, the lower the demand for each product and the lower its price; While the lower the supply, the greater the demand for each product and the higher its price. Thus, in many cases, suppliers seek to restrict supply to maximize profits, while demanders seek to lower prices through a greater quantity of goods offered.
