Answer:
a. Supply increases, Supply curve shifts to the right
b. Demand decreases, Demand curve shifts to the left
c. Demand increases, Demand curve shifts to the right
d. Supply decreases, Supply curve shifts to the left
Explanation:
a. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint- Supply will increase due to lower cost in production. Shifting the supply curve to the right. Price of paint will fall and quantity will increase.
b. Paint is lasting longer, so that property owners need not repaint as often- Demand for paint will fall due to its long lasting. This shifts the demand curve to the left decreasing the price and quantity of paints.
c. Because of severe hail storms, many people need to repaint now- Demand for paint will increase shifting the demand curve to the right increasing the price and quantity of paints.
d. The hail storms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months- Supply of paint will decrease as factories close down. This will shift the supply curve to the left increasing the price of pain and decreasing the quantity of paint.
Answer:
Activity 2= $11.15
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total Activity Activity Cost Pools Total Cost Product A Product B Total
Activity 2 $40,140 2,000 1,600 3,600
<u>To calculate the activity rate for Activity 2, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 2= 40,140 / 3,600
Activity 2= $11.15
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $3,000 favorable
Explanation:
<u>To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 3*15,000= 45,000 hours
Actual quantity= 44,000 hours
Standard rate= $3 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (45,000 - 44,000)*3
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $3,000 favorable
Answer:
The amount collected from customers on accounts receivable during year 3 is $535,000.
Explanation:
Cash received from accounts receivable = Opening balance of AR + Credit Sales - Bad debts written off - Closing balance of AR.
- The opening balance for year 3 account receivables was 150000.
- Credit Sales = 600000
- Bad debts = 40000
- Closing Balance = 175000
We can solve this question either by making a T account for accounts receivable or using the equation given above.
Cash = 150000 + 600000 - 40000 - 175000 = $535000
