a. Direct material = sugar
b. Direct labor = wages of factory workers
c. Manufacturing overhead = utilities expenses
i. indirect materials = cleaning supplies
ii. indirect labor = factory supervisor's salary
iii. other manufacturing overhead = depreciation expense of factory equipment
3. PEZ Candy Inc. would be more likely to use job costing to calculate the cost of one particular birthday party hosted at the PEZ Visitor Center. The reason is that it is a specific event. It does not involve a continuous process.

Answer:
$393,162
Explanation:
Units sold last year were 3,700
the projection for this year is an increase of 10% in volume.
projected units sales for this year will be
=110% of 3,700
=1.1 x 3,700
=4,070 units
The selling price last year was $75.
projected price this year is an increase by 40%
price for this year will be 140% of $75
=140/100 x $75
=1.4 x $75
=$105
Projected sales in dollar will be sales volume x selling price
= 4070units x $105
=$427,350
Purchase return = 8% of projected sales in dollars
=8/100 x $427,350
=34,188
Net projected sales
= $427,350 - $34,188
=$393,162
Answer:
a. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in February
b. Calculate the price elasticity of supply for Aji's Chocolate Factory in March
c. If Aji's Factory is nearly at full capacity of production in March, what will happen to Aji's Factory price elasticity of supply in April?
- If the company is producing at full capacity, then its price elasticity of supply will be perfectly inelastic even if the price increases. This is because any increase in price will not affect the quantity supplied because the company cannot increase it even if they wanted to.
Explanation:
price elasticity of supply = % change in quantity supplied / % change in price
It measures the proportional change in the quantity supplied that producers will make given a 1% change in the price of their product.
PES February = [(110 - 80)/80] / [(2.5 - 2)/2] = 0.375 / 0.25 = 1.5
PES March = [(140 - 110)/110] / [(3 - 2.5)/2.5] = 0.273 / 0.2 = 1.36
