Answer:

$26,000 adverse variance

Explanation:

Fixed Overheads Volume Variance = Budgeted Overheads at Actual Output - Budgeted Fixed Overheads

                                                             = $1.30 x 60,000 hours - $1.30 x 80,000

                                                             = $78,000 - $104,000

                                                             = $26,000 adverse variance

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is $26,000 adverse variance

zimovet [89]

Answer:

For comprehension purpose, I would attach options to the question:

All of the following are required resources for differentiation except:

A. Strong marketing capability B. Corporate reputation for quality. C. Product engineering. D. Intense supervision of labor.

The correct answer is Option D (Intense supervision of labor)

Explanation:

The differentiation asked in the question above is product differentiation.

Product differentiation, in Economics, talks about the efficient way a producer or seller of a product makes it unique in the market thereby creating an edge between the product and other similar ones or other products.

So, strong marketing capability exposes the strength and uniqueness of the product to prospective buyers which in turn brings sales.

Corporate reputation and product engineering are a strong boost in sales, as reputable companies and the physical appearance of a product tend to get easy acceptance in the market. While Intense supervision of labor may increase the efficiency of production but it is not to be considered as a resource for differentiation.

iragen [17]

Answer: $74569

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the amount that can be borrowed is explained below:

Present value of annuity will e calculated as:

= 600 × [1-(1+0.09/12)^-(12 ×30)] / (0.09/12)

= 600 × [1-(1+0.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075

= 600 × 1-(1.0075)^-(360)] / 0.0075

= 600 × [1-0.0678860074] / 0.0075

= 600 × 124.282

= 74569

The amount that can be borrowed is $74569

In making a sales forecast, the business owner can only use his best judgment to determine projected costs and revenues.
jeyben [28]
False.

The business owner should not only rely on his best judgement to determine projected costs and revenues. He should consider the trends in the market and his company performance on the previous months in order to make a sales forecast.

Answer:

4300 units would cost  $ 898461 or $ 208.9 ≅ $ 209 per unit

Explanation:

Production Volume                   4,000 Units       5,000 Units

Direct Materials                 $85.80 per unit        $85.80 per unit

Direct Labor                     $56.10 per unit             $56.10 per unit

Manufacturing overhead   $73.60 per unit           $62.10 per unit

Total Manufacturing Costs   $ 215.5 per unit         $ 203.7 per unit

The best estimate of the total cost to manufacture 4,300

4000 units at $ 215.5 = $ 862,000

5000 units at $ 203.7= $1018500

9000 units would Cost = $ 862,000+$1018500= $ 1880500

We have taken the total of the two costs and then divided with the number of 9000 units to get an average price as the fixed costs are decreasing as the number of units increase from 4000 to 5000.

4300 units would cost = $ 1880500/ 9000 * 4300= $ 898461 or $ 208.9 ≅

$ 209 per unit

<span>Derek's company was bidding on the construction of a new penguin display at a world-famous zoo. when putting together his bid, derek began by determining what the zoo would be willing to pay for the structure, and then subtracting a reasonable profit for the company. the result would be the cost of production. for example: if price to zoo = $6 million, and company profit margin = $2 million, the cost to produce cannot exceed $4 million. [$6 million - $2 million = $4 million.] the demand-based pricing strategy in this example is called target costing.

</span><span>Target costing is an approach to determine a product's life-cycle cost which should be sufficient to develop specified functionality and quality, while ensuring its desired profit. It involves setting a target cost by subtracting a desired profit margin from a competitive market price.</span>
