Answer:

Gross Domestic Product

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product or GDP is the most important macroeconomic variable because it measures the amount of goods and services that are produced within an economy in a given year. In other words, GDP is one of the most accurate measures of economic activity that economists have found so far.

GDP impacts companies because they depend on external market forces to stay afloat. If GDP falls one year, this means that economic activity declined, and companies are likely to feel the effects of it in the form of lower sales, lower revenues, less profits, less hiring, more firing, etc.

Which type of account typically has low liquidity? AMoney Market Account BCertificate of Deposit (CD) CChecking Account DSavings

natta225 [31]

Likely B. Liquidity is basically the measurement of how quickly a given investment can be turned into cash. If you can sell it or take money from it quickly, it is liquid. Any one of the others (A, C or D) can be withdrawn from in a short time, and thus are very liquid. CDs, however, are set to a specified amount of time. You deposit money for, say, 5 years and then are allowed to withdraw it, not before. Thus, it is not liquid.

Dozier Company produced and sold 1,000 units during its first month of operations. It reported the following costs and expenses

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Required 1

Part a

Total Product cost = Variable manufacturing costs + Fixed manufacturing costs

where,

Variable manufacturing costs = ($84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000) ÷ 1,000 units = $147.50

Fixed manufacturing costs = $32,500 ÷ 1,000 units = $32.50

therefore,

Total Product cost = $147.50 + $32.50 = $180.00

Part b

Total period cost = variable non- manufacturing costs + fixed non-manufacturing costs

where,

variable non- manufacturing costs = $15,000 + $5,500 = $20,500

fixed non-manufacturing costs = $24,000 + $28,000 = $52,000

therefore,

Total period cost = $20,500 + $52,000 = $72,500

Required 2

Part a

total direct manufacturing cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Direct (Variable) Manufacturing Overheads

therefore,

total direct manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 = $147,500

Part b

total indirect manufacturing cost = fixed manufacturing costs

therefore

total indirect manufacturing cost = $32,500

Required 3

Part a

total manufacturing cost = variable manufacturing cost + fixed manufacturing costs

therefore,

total manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 + $32,500 = $180,000

Part b

total non-manufacturing cost = variable non-manufacturing cost + fixed non-manufacturing cost

therefore,

total non-manufacturing cost = $20,500 + $52,000 = $72,500

Part c

total conversion cost = direct labor cost + manufacturing overheads

therefore,

total conversion cost = $42,500 + $21,000 + $32,500 = $96,000

prime cost = direct material + direct labor

therefore,

prime cost = $84,000 + $42,500 = $126,500

Required 4

Part a

total variable manufacturing cost = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing costs

therefore,

total variable manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 = $147,500

Part b

total fixed cost = fixed manufacturing costs + fixed non-manufacturing costs

therefore,

total fixed cost = $32,500 + $52,000 = $84,500

Part c

variable cost per unit produced and sold = variable manufacturing cost + variable non-manufacturing

therefore,

variable cost per unit produced and sold = $147.50 + ($20,500 ÷ 1,000) = $168.00

Required 5

incremental manufacturing costs = variable manufacturing costs

therefore,

incremental manufacturing cost = ($84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000) ÷ 1,000 units = $147.50
