Answer:

Costs and production are both very important for the economy.

Explanation:

Costs are the values of the goods and services used for the production of other goods and services. For example, for the production of a chair, we must factor the cost of the raw material: wood, and the cost of direct labor: the wage of the carpenter.

Costs therefore, are crucial in determining the amount of output in an economy.

Cost also determine help determine the market structure of the economy. In general terms, when costs are high, profits are lower, which attracts less firms to the sector, and results in less competitive market structures such as oligopoly or monopoly.

The opposite is true when costs are low, because in this situation profits are likely to be higher, which attracts more firms to the sector, resulting in more competitive market structures like perfect competition or monopolistic competition.

Finally, we can say that the production of goods and services is important because it is the most important factor in determining the living standars of people in an economy. When many goods and services are produced, people obtain higher incomes because they are paid for the production of these goods and services.

OLEGan [10]

Complete question:

You have just been hired by SecuriDoor Corporation, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new garage door opening device. The president has asked that you review the company’s costing system and “do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs.” You find that the company has never used a flexible budget, and you suggest that preparing such a budget would be an excellent first step in overhead planning and control.

      After much effort and analysis, you determined the following cost formulas and gathered the following actual cost data for April:

                                          Actual Cost in April

 Utilities    $16,700 plus $.14 per machine-hour      $ 21,020    

 Maintenance   $38,300 plus $1.50 per machine-hour   $ 59,100    

 Supplies      $.40 per machine-hour          $ 7,000    

 Indirect labor  $94,700 plus $1.80 per machine-hour   $ 128,000    

 Depreciation   $68,400    $ 70,100  

During March, the company worked 16,000 machine-hours and produced 10,000 units. The company had originally planned to work 18,000 machine-hours during March.
