Explain how test-marketing can increase profits.

Business
1 answer:
kirill [66]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Test marketing holds a lot of importance for the company. It allows

the company to test their product in a small region so as to get an

idea whether the product will work in a bigger market or not.

Through this, the company can measure the performance of the

product and can decide whether it should be released nationwide

for sale. Through this, the company can estimate the earnings that

can be earned through this product beforehand.

Baden Company has gathered the following information. Units in beginning work in process 0 Units started into production 37,700
Flura [38]

Answer:

The materials equivalent units is 37,700

Conversion costs equivalent units is 32,480

Explanation:

The equivalent units of production for materials can be computed thus:

Description                   quantity           % of completion    Equivalent units

Completed units            29000              100                          29000

(37700-8700)

Ending inventory            8700                100                      <u>    8700</u>

total equivalent units for materials                                      37700

The equivalent units of production for conversion costs can be computed thus:

Description                   quantity           % of completion    Equivalent units

Completed units            29000              100                          29000

(37700-8700)

Ending inventory            8700                40                      <u>    3480 </u>

total equivalent units for conversion costs                       32480

I applied 100% percentage of completion to ending inventory when determining materials equivalent units and 40% percentage completion when determining equivalent units for conversion cots  as it given in the question

If the customer wants "to table" the discussion on price then I assume he wants to hold it for later ie not deal with it right now but defer it to a later date perhaps to when more data is available either from Melanie or from him to be able to make the discussion more meaningful.

The following data relates to units shipped and total shipping expense for the Adams Company. Month Units shipped Total Shipping
Ann [662]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month - Units shipped - Total Shipping Expense

January: 3 - $1,300

February: 6 - $1,600

March: 4 - $1,400

April: 5 - $1,500

May: 7 - $1,700

June: 8 - $1,800

July: 2 - $1,200

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost using the following formula:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (1,800 - 1,200) / (8 - 2)

Variable cost per unit=  100

Now, we can calculate the fixed costs:

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 1,800 - (100*8)

Fixed costs= 1,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 1,200 - (100*2)

Fixed costs= $1,000

Finally, the total cost formula:

Total cost= 1,000 + 100X

X= units shipped
