Answer: Small Balloons - 600 units

Medium Balloons - 0 units

Large Balloons - 467 units

Explanation:

To solve this question, the Contribution margin per hour must be ascertained to find out which product is manufactured more efficiently in relation to machine hours.

Small Balloon.

= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit

= 3/1

= 3

Medium Balloon.

= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit

= 3/2.4

= 1.25

Large Balloon

= Contribution margin per unit/ Machine hours per unit

= 4/3

= 1.33

From the above we can rank the most efficient.

Efficiency Ranking

Small Balloon - 1

Large Balloon - 2

Medium - Balloon 3

As a rule, it is better that a company produces goods it is more efficient at first,

Small Balloons will be produced first and have a demand of 600 units.

With a cost of 1 unit therefore, producing 600 would be,

= 600 * 1

= 600 machine hours.

With Small Balloons taking 600 hours and with a limit of 2,000 hours we are left with,

= 2,000 - 600

= 1,400 hours.

Next in production is Large Balloons at a demand of 880 units with each unit costing $3,

= 880 * 3

= 2,640 machine hours

Seeing as we only have 1,400 machine hours left all these hours will be converted to used for Large Balloons which means the following number of units will be produced,

= 1,400/3

= 466.67

= 467 units.

The Company should produce in the following order to maximise its total contribution margin.

Small Balloons - 600 units

Medium Balloons - 0 units

Large Balloons - 467 units

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Lesser and fell relative to other currencies

Explanation:

This phenomenon is usually termed "Currency depreciation" a fall in the value of a currency in a floating exchange rate system.

The depreciation in 2016 occurred due to factors such as monetary policy, political instability and high inflation.

Amazon's global revenue was 135.99 billion US dollars in 2016, comparing the foreign exchange value in local currencies at that time will give a lesser value now.

Presented below are incomplete manufacturing cost data.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the missing amount is as follows

As we know that

Total manufacturing costs is

= Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Factory overhead  cost

And,

Cost of goods manufactured is

= Total manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process - ending work in process

Based on this, the calculation is as follows

  <u> Direct materials Direct labor Factory       Total</u>

<u>                                                       overhead  manufacturing costs </u>

1. $44,000               $62,200     $51,100        $157,300

2. $78,500             $77,500     $144,000       $300,000

3. $58,600            $138,400     $114,000       $311,000

Now

<u>  Total Manufacturing Costs Beg. Work   End. Work  Cost of Goods </u>

<u>                                               in Process  in Process  Manufactured </u>

1. $157,300                           $122,000     $85,200      $194,100

2. $300,000                         $123,400        $99,800     $323,600

3. $311,000                            $465,000       $57,000     $719,000
