Answer:

The answer would be A, Decrease, Increase.

Explanation:

New technology lowering the costs of production will cause the equilibrium price to decrease and the equilibrium quantity to increase.

New technologies are introduced in the organizations in order to do the tasks quickly and efficiently. With the introduction of new tech in the production process, if cost of production decreases, then the organization can make more profits with the same price and quantity. Also, the organization can lower the prices to attract more consumers. The equilibrium quantity also increases due to the introduction of advanced production technologies.

Gentle Ben's Bar and Restaurant uses 6,700 quart bottles of an imported wine each year. The effervescent wine costs $4 per bottl
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

a. The answer is:762 bottlé.

b. The answer is: 487 bottles.

Explanation:

a. The economic order quantity is calculated as: \sqrt{(2xDxS/H)} = \sqrt{2 x 6968 x 25)/0.6 = 762 units because: D = annual demand = Weekly demand x week opening per year = 134 x 52 = 6968; S = Cost per order = 25; H = Holding cost per unit = 15% x purchase price = 15% x 4 = 0.6

b. Inventory level to place order:

With the inventory system providing a 95 percent service probability, z level is 1.64 (using the NORM.S.INV function in excel).

So Inventory level to place order = 134 * 3 + 1.64 * 30 * 3^0.5= 487 bottles.

Winston Company’s high and low level of activity last year was 60,000 units produced in April and 20,000 units produced in Decem
sergejj [24]

Answer:

$36,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High Machine maintenance costs - low Machine maintenance costs) ÷ (High activity level - low activity level)

= ($52,000 - $20,000) ÷ (60,000 units - 20,000 units)

= $32,000 ÷ 40,000 units

= $0.8

The variable cost equal to

= High activity level × per unit variable cost

=  60,000 units × 0.8

= $48,000

So, the fixed cost would be

= Total cost - variable cost

= $52,000 - $48,000

= $4,000

For 40,000 units, total maintenance cost would be

= Number of units  × per unit variable cost + Fixed cost

= 40,000 units × $0.8 + $4,000

= $32,000  + $4,000

=$36,000

Rivera Company has several processing departments. Costs charged to the Assembly Department for November 2020 totaled $2,288,076
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Using the FIFO cost method:

beginning WIP 34,600 units

materials $79,000 (100% complete)

conversion $48,200 (30% complete, 70% remaining = 24,220 EU)

units started 662,700

materials added $1,594,520

conversion costs added $566,356

ending WIP 24,100

100% complete for materials

40% complete for conversion = 9,640 EU

units completed and transferred out = 34,600 + 662,700 - 24,100 = 673,200

units started and completed = 662,700 - 34,600 - 24,100 = 604,000

total equivalent units for the month:

materials 662,700

conversion = 24,220 + 604,000 + 9,640 = 637,860

total cost per EU:

materials = $1,594,520 / 662,700 = $2.4061

conversion = $566,356 / 637,860 = $0.8879

total = $3.294

cost of ending WIP:

materials = 24,100 x $2.4061 = $57,987

conversion = 9,640 x $0.8879 = $8,559.36 ≈ $8,559

total = $66,546

cost of units transferred out = $79,000 + $48,200 + $1,594,520 + $566,356 - $66,546 = $2,221,530

total units transferred out = 673,200

production cost per unit = $2,221,530 / 673,200 = $3.30
