Answer:
a. Leslie, who is independent and self-confident. She doesn’t need people to tell her what to do.
b. Malcolm, who loves to play. His last boss says that Malcolm was the "chief kid" in his last office.
c. Frankie, who has been in the toy business for 10 years and who knows what he’s doing, but who always likes testing a new idea.
Explanation:
In this scenario the CEO of a start-up toy manufacturer wants to create at least 10 wildly different toys in the next three years.
He will primarily need people that are creative and are inclined to work with new ideas.
The wrong choice will be someone who follows the rules and is stable. Such a staff will not contribute new ideas that will move the company to make profits.
Leslie is confident and does not need to be told what to do, so she will take initiative to do new things.
Malcolm loves to play and this will boost creative ideas.
Frankie likes testing new ideas and will be comfortable working creatively.
Answer:
Under last in, first out (LIFO) inventory method, the units purchased last are used to determine the cost of goods sold. This doesn't mean that exactly the last units purchased will be sold first, it is just used as an accounting tool.
In this case, the last unit purchased costed $20, and the immediately previous one costed $15. Under LIFO, these 2 units would have been sold (COGS = $35), and the ending inventory = $10 (the price of the "oldest" unit).
Answer: $3.40
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the materials cost per unit will be calculated thus:
First, we'll calculate the completed units which will be:
= 18500 - 1400
= 17100
Ending inventory = 1400 units
Equivalent Production Unit with respect to Material = (17100 x 100%) + (1400 x 100%)
= 18500 Units
Material Cost Per Unit will be:
= Total Material Cost / Equivalent Production Unit
= $62900 / 18500
= $3.40 per unit
The material cost per unit is $3.40
