Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a)

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit  is

= $29,350 ÷ 9,940

= $2.95 per unit

Now  

Variable cos per calculator is

= $10.70- $2.95

=$ 7.75 per calculator

b)Variable costing income will be lower by

= 750 units × $2.95

= $2,213

= Fixed cost + n × variable cost per calculator

c) The Cost formula (y) is  

= $29,350 + 7.75 x

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much income does Ethan recognize this year from these transactions

First step is to calculate the share of ordinary income Amount

Share of ordinary income amount=$25,000 × 25%

Share of ordinary income amount=$6,250

Second step is to calculate AAA distribution

AAA distribution=[$50,000 + $25,000] × 25%]-[$30,000-($50,000 + $25,000 × 25%)]-

AAA distribution =$18,750-$11,250

AAA distribution=$7,500

Third step is to calculate the distribution treated as dividend

Distribution treated as dividend= $25,000 × 25%

Distribution treated as dividend= $6,250

Now let calculate the income recognized

Income recognized=$6,250+$7,500+$6,250

Income recognized=$20,000

Therefore How much income does Ethan recognize this year from these transactions is $20,000

Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The
Tom [10]

a. Standard labor-hours is 7920 hours.

b. Standard labor cost allowed is $42,768.

c. The labor spending variance is $1588(U).

d.  The labor rate variance is $1706 and the labor efficiency variance $3294(U).

e.  The variable overhead rate is $5971(U) and efficiency variances for the month $5580(U).

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)Standars hours(SH) allowed to make 19800 jogging mates

=SH per unit \times 19800

=(24/60)*19800

=7920 hours

24/60 has been taken to convert minutes into hours.  

b)Standard Labor Cost (SC) of 19800 jogging mates

=19800 \times SC per unit=19800 \times $2.16\\=$42,768

=$42,768

c)Labour Spending Variance

=Standard Cost - Actual Cost(AC)=$42,768 - $44,356=$1588(U)

=$1588(U)

d)Labor Rate Variance  

=(SR per hour-AR per hour)\timesAH=(5.4-5.2)*8530=$1706(F)

=$1706

Actual Hours(AH) * Actual Rate per hour(AR)= Actual Cost(AC)

8530 \times AR = $44,356

AR = \frac{44356}{8530}\\ \\AR = 5.2

Labor Efficiency Variance

=(SH-AH) \times SR\\=(7920-8530)*$5.4=$3294(U)

=$3294(U)

e) Variable overhead rate variance = Actual hours worked  (Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)

= 8530  (4.5 - 5.20)

= $5971(U)

Actual overhead rate = $44,356 / 8530 = 5.20

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Standard overhead rate   (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 4.50  (7290 - 8530)

= $5580(U).

Assume MU_c and Mu_d represent the marginal utility that a consumer gets from products C and D, the respective prices of which a
lana [24]

Answer:

<h2>The correct answer in this case is option C. or MU(c)/P(c)>MU(d)/P(d).</h2>

Explanation:

Under consumer equilibrium theory for two commodity model,a rational consumer maximizes his or her utility when the marginal utility(MU) obtained from consuming one good is equal to the same of the other.This is the fundamental essence of the Law of Equimarginal Utility in Economics.Now,in this case,the consumer will purchase more of good C than good D if the Marginal utility obtained from one unit of good C or MU(c)  for the money spend on consumption of good C or price of C,P(c) is greater than the marginal utility obtained from consuming 1 more unit of good D or MU(d) for money spend on purchase of good D or price of that particular unit of D or P(d).Therefore,since the marginal satisfaction compared to the amount of money spend for the consumer is higher for good C compared to the other or good D,it will increase the total utility level of the consumer from that particular consumption bundle or pattern.Hence,he or she will spend more on the consumption of good C than good D.
