Grand Lips produces a lip balm used for​ cold-weather sports. The balm is manufactured in a single processing department. No lip

balm was in process on May 31​, and Grand started production on 20,500 lip balm tubes during June. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the​ process, but conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Completed production for June totaled 15,300 units. The June 30 work in process was 30​% of the way through the production process. Direct materials costing $4,305 were placed in production during June​, and direct labor of $3,320 and manufacturing overhead of $1,738 were assigned to the process.
Required:
a. Draw a time line for Great Lips.
b. use the time line to help you compute the total equivalent units and the cost per equivalent unit for June.
c. Assign total costs to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.
d. Prepare a T-account for Work in Process Inventory to show activity during June, including the June 30 balance.

<em>Being Units transferred to Finished Goods</em>

Explanation:

<u>Calculation of Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs</u>

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 100%)                                         5,200

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Raw Materials     30,500

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process (5,200 × 30%)                                            1,560

Completed and Transferred Out (15,300 × 100%)                         15,300

Equivalent units of Production in respect with Conversion Cost 16,860

<u>Calculation of Cost per Equivalent unit of production  in respect with Raw Materials and Conversion Costs</u>

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent units

1. Materials

Unit Cost =  $4,305 ÷ 30,500

                = $0.14

2. Conversion Costs

Unit Cost =  ($3,320 + $1,738) ÷ 16,860

                = $0.30

3. Total unit cost

Total unit cost = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

                        = $0.14 + $0.30

                        = $0.44

<u>Calculation of costs assigned to (a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods and (b) units still in process at June 30.</u>

(a) units completed and transferred to Finished Goods

Total Cost = units completed and transferred out × total unit cost

                 = 15,300 × $0.44

                 = $6,732

(b) units still in process at June 30.

Total Cost = Materials Cost + Conversion Cost

                 = $0.14 × 5,200 + $0.30 × 1,560

                 = $1,196

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Why can't the Fed push the rate any lower than zero?

Real interest rates can be lower than zero, or negative (because inflation rate is higher than interest rate), but nominal interest rates are generally only limited to zero. But during this same time, the European Central Bank actually started paying negative interest rates on money deposits and many European private banks followed. That means that they charged people for having their money on the bank.

Why do you think that the Fed was so seemingly reluctant to push the rate all the way to the floor?

The reason why the Fed was not willing to push the interest rates to zero or even below zero was that by doing so, the US dollar would have depreciated or lost value. In Europe this was done to encourage people to spend their money and not save as much, but in the US that is not really a problem. Generally in the US the problem is that people spend too much and save too little, but on some European countries and Japan, people tend to save too much. For example in Japan the national savings rate fluctuates between 22-40%, while the maximum savings rate in the US has been 10.4% in 1960, it currently is around 7.6%.

mestny [16]

Answer:

Predatory pricing.

Explanation:

When Lofonift Inc. introduced its flagship product, an MP3 player, it captured the MP3 player market by offering its product at the lowest price in the market. This gradually forced many of its competitors out of business. Once its competitors were out of business, Lofonift Inc. raised its prices. In this scenario, Lofonift Inc. most likely indulged in predatory pricing.

Predatory pricing is a strategy used by some business owners to reduce the cost of a particular commodity or item to the lowest possible amount such that the available competitors will be driven out of business.

On February 1, a seller paid $1,140 in annual property tax for the current calendar year. He sold the house with the closing set
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$288

Explanation:

Since the total property taxes for the year are $1,140, to find the property tax per month we have to divide by 12 ⇒ $1,140 / 12 = $95 per month

The seller is responsible for paying the property taxes during 3 months and 1 day, to find out the amount for that 1 day we divide the monthly tax by 30 = $3.17 per day.

the total seller's credit = ($95 x 3) + $3 = $285 + $3 = $288

*The seller's credit includes all the expenses that must be paid by the seller, while the seller's debit includes all the money that he receives.

Lists two things that both increase the money supply?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Decrease is taxes

Increase in government spending

Explanation:

Government policies that increases the money supply in an economy is known as expansionary fiscal policy. They are:

1. Decrease is taxes - when government reduces the tax rate, the amount paid as taxes falls and as a result individuals, companies have higher disposable income whuch can be used for consumption or saving. This increases the money supply in the economy.

2. Increase in government spending - if the government increases it's spending on public goods for example, money supply would increase. If the government constructs a road, labour would be employed and paid wages. This payment increases the income of Labour and money supply increases.

Central bank policies that increases money supply are known as expansionary monetary policies. They include:

1. Open market purchase: The central bank purchase securities from the open market to increase money supply.

2. Reduction in reserve requirement ratio : if the reserve requirement ratio is reduced , commercial banks would have more money to give out as loans and this would increase money supply.
