Answer: If the CEO decides to go with same advertising message which was effective for the USA in Brazil, this my be a wrong decision. The products technical standards may be similar for both countries but the way people would react to same advertisement would differ for both countries.

Explanation:

This would lead to the advertising messages changing so as to achieve the desired results, factors that would affect this decision are

1. The message

2. Pricing

The message been passed from the advertisement has to be in such a way that it shows the Brazilian culture which differs from America.

Pricing of the product would also play an important role as there would already be existing competitors for diapers in Brazil. Your price should match or compete with the prices been offered by your competitors.

Olin [163]

Answer:

$18,000 F

Actual overhead– Overhead Budgeted=

Overhead Controllable Variance

Actual overhead=$194,000

Overhead Budgeted=$212,000

$194,000–$212,000

=$18,000 F

(40,000 ×$3.80) + $60,000

=$152,000+$60,000

= $212,000

Therefore the manufacturing overhead controllable variance is $18,000 F

During the current month, Grey Company sold 60,000 units for $10 each. Each unit had an equivalent cost of $6 each. The journal
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The sale entry would be:

Dr Trade Receivable  $ 600,000

Cr                     Sale            $600,000

And the inventory sent out of warehouse to customer would be recorded as:

Dr Cost of goods sold $360,000

Cr Finished Goods account  $360,000

Explanation:

As we know the sale is credit in nature and inventory sold on credit increases the trade receivable which is debit in nature.

So the entry would be:

Dr Trade Receivable  $ 600,000

Cr                     Sale            $600,000

And the inventory sent out of warehouse to customer would be recorded as:

The reason is that once the product is sold then the cost of finished goods is eliminated from the inventory account and would be charged to the cost of goods sold. So the entry would be posted by the cost of equivalent that the company has incurred to manufacture the product. Here the cost of equivalent is given and is $6 per unit.

So for the sale of 60,000 units the total cost of equivalent will be:

Total equivalent cost = 60,000 units * $6 per unit = $360,000

And the entry would be:

Dr Cost of goods sold $360,000

Cr Finished Goods account  $360,000
