Answer: a. focus its research and development on process technologies to improve efficiency.

Explanation:

A Cost Leadership strategy entails reducing the costs associated with production to the point that you are the most efficient producer in the industry. By reducing cost, the company is able to see higher profitability margins and could be able to lower sales prices thereby capturing greater market share.

The Cost Leader will therefore focus on coming up with ways with which it can keep costs at a minimum because it is important to their mode of operations.

A Differentiator on the other hand aims to increase market share by creating a product that people will see as different and will buy due to the added value. They will focus more on supporting creativity to make better products as well as customer responsiveness to see what it is that the customers like so that they can offer it.

Domestic producers of manufactured goods often base their demand for import protection on the fact that workers in Indonesia, fo
Vilka [71]

Answer:

No, it is not a valid argument for import protection

Explanation:

There are several arguments that are waged in favor of protectionism. One of the most common, that is seen in this question, in the unfair competition argument, in which domestic producers argue that producers from abroad pay unfair wages, or engage in dumping, or do not pay enough for raw materials.

The fact is, what is a substandard wage in the United States, is probably an average, or even higher-than-average wage in Indonesia, because wages are determined by the market conditions in each country. Indonesia, as a low-income country, has wages on average well below the average wage in the United States, a high-income country.

Therefore, domestic producers do not have any valid reason to demand import protection because Indonesian producers pay substantially lower wages than them. These are economic realities given by market conditions.

1. Prepare a journal entry showing the transfer of Job 102 into Finished Goods Inventory upon its completion. 2. Prepare the jou
laiz [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Before recording the journal entries first we need to do the computations which are shown below:

The predetermined overhead rate is

= $420,000 ÷ 60,000 machine hours    

= $7 per machine hour  

Now

<u>Particulars                       Job 101   Job 102    Job 103   Total  </u>

Direct materials used     19,200      14,400      9,600     43,200  

Direct labor                     28,800    11,200        9,600     49,600  

overhead applied           7000        28000      14000     49000  

total                                  55,000     53,600     33,200   141,800  

                                        COGS   Finished WIP

Now the journal entries are as follows

1 Finished goods inventory  $53,600  

      To Work in process inventory   $53,600

(Being the transfer of job 102 is recorded)

2a) Cost of goods sold  $55,000  

             To Finished goods inventory $55,000

(being the cost of goods sold is recorded)  

2b) Cash $60,000  

             To sales revenue $60,000

(being the sales revenue is recorded)  

3) Manufacturing overhead $4,000  ($49,000 - $45,000)

                   To Cost of goods sold $4,000

(Being the balance of the manufacturing overhead is recorded)
