Somerset Computer Company has been purchasing carrying cases for its portable computers at a purchase price of $62 per unit. The

company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 45% of direct labor cost. The unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials $8.00
Direct labor 12.00
Factory overhead (40% of direct labor) 4.80
Total cost per unit $24.80

If Somerset Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 25% of the direct labor costs.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The answer is: letter a, To protect national security.

Explanation:

This incident occurred in <em>2016.</em> Taobao is one of the online shopping websites owned by "Alibaba Group." It was placed on the blacklist by the U.S. because of selling<em> "counterfeit goods."</em> However, it was removed from the blacklist in 2012, since it showed efforts in combating piracy.

One reason for putting Taobao in the blacklist is to protect national security. This is the responsibility of the government to the nation when it feels threatened by anything harmful. The pirated goods were considered a threat to the nation. It can also result to financial loss to the owners due to stolen intellectual properties.

Thus, this explains the answer.

Exercise 6-16 Kaleta Company reports the following for the month of June. Date Explanation Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Inv
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Cost of goods available for sale=$1,640

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we need to first calculate the available units of inventory;

Available inventory=Inventory purchased-inventory sold

where;

Inventory purchased are as follows;

On June 1>>>>>purchased 410 units each at $8

On June 12>>>>purchased 820 units each at $9

On June 23>>>>purchased 615 units each at $10

Total inventory purchased=(410+820+615)=1,845 units

Inventory sold are as follows;

On June 15>>>>sold 902 units each at $11

On June 27>>>>sold 738 units each at $12

Total inventory sold=(902+738)=1,640 units

Available inventory=(1,845-1,640)=205 units

The cost of goods sold can be expressed as;

Cost of goods available for sale=Cost per unit×number of units

where;

Number of units of inventory=205

Cost per unit=least cost per unit=$8

replacing;

Cost of goods available for sale=(8×205)=1,640

Cost of goods available for sale=$1,640
