Answer:
The annual amortization expense for 2019 will be $35000.
Explanation:
The amortization expense for the patent calculated based on the useful life of patent. The purchase of value of $235000 plus $10000 gives the total value of $245000 while use the patent of 7 years.
The formula for amortization expense = (Cost of patent - Residual value ) / Useful life of patent)
amortization expense = ($245000-0)/7 = $35000
The legal life would not count due patent in business use for limited life compare to legal life of patent.
Answer: No, johnson & johnson should not double its production capacity of their purell hand sanitizer.
Explanation: An increase in demand of hand sanitizers due to the H1N1 flue will shift the demand curve for hand sanitizers to the right. The price of hand sanitizers will increase meaning that greater production levels are profitable. The firms can take advantage of this profitability by increasing manufacturing capacity. However, capacity will be increased for many years and the H1N1 flu is a temporary phenomenon. So, once the H1N1 flu is controlled demand for hand sanitizer is likely to return to previous levels. As a result the increased capacity will then remain idle and unprofitable. So, johnson & johnson should not double its production capacity of their purell hand sanitizer.
Answer:
Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.
The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.
Ex : Production Possibilities
Wine Sweater Trade off (Wine :Sweater)
France 10 5 1:0.5 or 2:1
Tunisia 8 24 1:3 or 0.33:1
- France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
- Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine < 2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia
Answer: The labor efficiency variance for the month is closest to: $2576
Explanation:
Given:
Actual output 8,800 units
Actual direct labor-hours 1,610 hours
Actual direct labor rate $ 23.30 per hour
The labor efficiency variance for the month is computed as :
The labor rate variance = Actual hours×(Actual rate - Standard rate)
=1610 ×($23.30-$21.70)
=$2576
