Companies search for potential new markets by collecting consumer data to understand their opinions, wants and needs, and then being able to enter a new market with a safe and effective strategy to generate profits and successes. Data collection occurs in the form of primary and secondary research. The primary research takes place directly with the consumer, it can be carried out in the form of focus groups, which is a direct analysis of the market demand researched by the consumer.

Total Year payments $ 320,060

4. Total cost of Direct Labor

Quarter 1 $ 27,900

Quarter 2 $ 37,200

Quarter 3 $ 34,100

Quarter 4 $ 31,000

Total Year for direct labor $ 130,200

Explanation:

Computation of raw material purchases

Raw material consumption

Qtr No of Units per qtr Total Requirement

1 9,000 * 7 gms per unit = 63,000 gms

2 12,000 * 7 gms per unit = 84,000 gms

3 11,000 * 7 gms per unit = 77,000 gms

4 10,000 * 7 gms per unit = 70,000 gms

Total Year 294,000 gms

Raw Material Purchases for each quarter

Purchases = Closing inventory + Consumption - Opening inventory

1 21,000 (84,000gms * 25 % ) + 63,000 - 15.750 = 68,250 gms

2 19,250 (77,000gms* 25 %) + 84,000 - 21,000 = 82,250 gms

3 17,500 ( 70,000gms* 25 %) + 77,000-19,250 = 75,250 gms

4 8,000 ( As per data) + 70,000-17.500 = 60,500 gms

Total year purchases = = 286,250 gms

Cost of purchases

Quarter 1 68,250 gms * $ 1.20 = $ 81,900

Quarter 2 82,250 gms * $ 1.20 = $ 98,700

Quarter 3 75,250 gms * $ 1,20 = $ 90,300

Quarter 4 60,500 gms * $ 1,20 = $ 72,600

Total purchases $ 343,500

Computation of cash disbursements for purchases

Quarter 1 Payments = Opening Payables + 60 % of quarter 1

$ 5,600 + ( 60 %* $ 81,900) = $ 5,600 + $ 49,140 = $ 54,740

Quarter 2 payments

(40 % of quarter 1) + ( 60 % of quarter 2)

($ 81,900 * 40 %) + ( $ 98,700 * 60 %)

$ 32,760 + $ 59,220 = $ 91,980

Quarter 3 payments

(40 % of quarter 2) + ( 60 % of quarter 3)

($ 98,700 * 40 %) + ( $ 90,300 * 60 %)

$ 39,480 + $ 54,180 = $ 93.660

Quarter 4 payments

(40 % of quarter 3) + ( 60 % of quarter 4)

($ 90,300 * 40 %) + ( $ 72,600 * 60 %)

$ 36,120 + $ 43,560 = $ 79,680

Total payments for purchases for the year $ 320,060

Computation of direct labor cost

No of units * Estimated Direct labor hours * Labor rate per hour

Quarter 1 = 9,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 27.900

Quarter 2 = 12,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 37.200

Quarter 3 11,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 34.100

Quarter 4 10,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50 = $ 31.000

Total cost for Direct labour $ 130,200

Mango Company applies overhead based on direct labor costs. For the current year, Mango Company estimated total overhead costs t

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Balance for the Factory Overhead account: 19,000 credit

Explanation:

We will first, calculate the overhead rate based on the predetermination overhead rate:

$\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate$

The total manufacturing cost will be distributed over the cost driver. In this case, labor cost:

360,000/180,000 = 2 overhead rate

Then, we calculate the applied overhead 203,000 x 2 = 406,000

Now, the balance for factory overhead account:

Actual overhead: 387,000 debit

payable, accumulated depreicaiton and other 387,000 credit

WIP 406,000 debit

Applied Overhead 406,000 credit

Balance:

406,000 - 387,000 = 19,000 credit

explain the difference between a change in quantity demanded and a change in demand. Provide a real world example of a factor th

Zina [86]

Answer:

A change in quantity demanded is caused by a change in price only. That is, when price rises quantity demanded falls vise versa

A change in demand occurs when there is a shift in the demand caused by a change in other determinates of demand other than price such as change in income, change in taste and fashion, demographic changes etc.

Explanation:

Real word example of change in demand :

Changing Tastes or Preferences

From 1990 to 2020, the per-person consumption of chicken by Americans rose from 48 pounds per year to 85 pounds per year, and consumption of beef fell from 77 pounds per year to 54 pounds per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Changes like these are largely due to movements in taste, which change the quantity of a good demanded at every price: that is, they shift the demand curve for that good, rightward for chicken and leftward for beef.

Simply put it this way> Change in quantity demanded : Price change, quantity demanded change

Change in Demand: Price doesn't change but quantity demanded changes as a result of change in other determinates of demand examples the change in preference
