Answer: 7.98% or 8%

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand shows how much quantity demanded changes in response to a change in price.

Formula is:

Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded / Percentage change in price

1.33 = Percentage change in quantity demanded / 6%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 1.33 * 6%

= 7.98% or 8%

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

correct option is $750

uncollecectible account expenses  = $750

so correct option is $750

Bob Clarke Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activities Estimated Overhead Cos
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Total Unit Cost=  $ 96.65

Explanation:

Bob Clarke Corporation

Activities           Estimated Overhead Cost       Expected Activity

Assembly                     $1,005,040                 68,000 machine-hours

Processing orders       $102,500                       2,000 orders

Inspection                    $139,840                    1,900 inspection-hours

<u><em>First we find the overhead rates using ABC costing method.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Overhead Rates=  Estimated Overhead Cost/ Expected Activity

Assembly Rate=   $1,005,040 /68,000 = $ 14.78 per machine-hours

Processing rate= $102,500 / 2,000= $ 51.25 per orders

Inspection Rate=  $139,840/ 1,900=  $ 73.6 per inspection-hours

<u><em>Then we find the overhead costs applying the ABC Costing rates</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

Overhead Costs Of 450 Hockey

Assembly= 710 machine-hours, * $ 14.78= $10493.8

Processing=42 orders, *$ 51.25= $ 2152.5

Inspection= 12 inspection-hours*$ 73.6 = $ 883.2

Total Overhead Costs of 450 Hockey = $ 13529.5

Overhead Cost of One Hockey= 13529.5/450= 30.065=  $ 30.07

Then the:

Product Cost

Direct materials cost is $36.42 per hockey stick

Direct labor cost is $30.16 per hockey stick

Overhead Costs is $ 30.07

Total Unit Cost=  $ 96.65
