Answer:

B. relating an unknown value or price to another similar known value or price.

Explanation:

Anchoring is the term used to describe a phenomenon where individuals after being exposed to a particular figure (in this case a price) tend to subsequently use that figure as a reference point.

Thereby fixing of future prices will be biased towards this figure.

In this instance an anchor was in place and kept the customers loyal. But when Penney pulled up the​ anchor, many of the ccustomerswent away.

Jones Lumber Co. has annual fixed costs including depreciation of $300,000 and variable costs that are 88.25 percent of sales. W
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

$2,553,191

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point in dollars amount is presented below:

= (Fixed cost ) ÷ (Profit volume ratio)

where,  

Fixed cost = $300,000

And the profit volume ratio would be

= (Contribution margin) ÷ (Sales) × 100

We assume the sales be 100%

So, the variable cost is

= 88.25%

And, the contribution margin is

= 100 - 88.25

= 11.75%

So, the break even sales would be

= $300,000 ÷  11.75%

= $2,553,191

The accountant for Eva's Laundry prepared the following unadjusted and adjusted trial balances. Assume that all balances in the
amm1812

Answer:

See the errors identified below.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:

1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.

Therefore, we should have:

Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100

2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.

3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.

4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.

5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.

<u>Additional Note:</u>

After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.

The cost to manufacture one unit of Killian Audio Products' best-selling hearing aid, the Zone, is $67.50. The CFO of the compan
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.

Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.

Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.
