Answer:

Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $3 per unit

Explanation:

the aim of a firm is to maximise profit. The decision the firm would make would be based on the decision that yields the higher profit

Profit = revenue - cost

Profit that would be earned from selling the unassembled unit = $52 - $24 = $28

Profit that would be earned from selling the assembled unit = $64 - ($15 + $24) = 25

The profit from selling the unassembled product is greater than the profit from selling the assembled product by $3. The firm would prefer to sell the unassembled unit

Newsome Inc. buys on terms of 3/15, net 45. It does not take the discount, and it generally pays after 60 days. What is the nomi
gogolik [260]

Answer:

16.22%

Explanation:

3/15, net 45 means that if Newsome pays within 15 days, it will get discount of 3%, otherwise it can pay within 45 days in full.

Nominal annual percentage cost of  non-free trade credit based on 365 days can be calculated using the below formula:

Discount %/(100%-Discount %)*(365/(Actual credit days – Discount days))

In this case

Discount%=2%

Actual credit days=60

Discount period=15

Cost of non- free credit=2%/(100%-2%)*(365/(60-15)

                                       =2%/98%*(365/45)

                                       =0.02*8.11

                                       =16.22%

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Overhead costs are assigned to production using an overhead application rate, whereas no such "application rate" is used to assign the costs of direct materials and direct labor to production. The reason for this difference in procedures is that:

Overhead is an indirect cost which cannot be traced easily and directly to specific units of product.

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead costs are not direct costs.  They are not generally traceable to units of products.  They include such indirect costs as Depreciation Expense, Property Taxes, Indirect Labor, Indirect Materials, etc.  No unit of product can be ascribed such costs except as an approximation.
