Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Penetration.

Explanation:

Penetration Pricing means that an initially low price for a new product or service attracts customers away from the competitors. The new company hopes that even if prices rise to normal levels, customers will continue to use their products. Penetration Pricing will yield higher returns on sales and push rivals out of the market if implemented long enough.

What are the criteria for distinguishing between a deductible expense and a capital expenditure?
Lelu [443]

The criteria for distinguishing between whether an expenditure is a capital item or a deductible expense is the useful life of the item.

If the purchase is going to be used and no longer have value at the end of the reporting period it is an expense for that period. If the item is a capital item it is going to have a longer useful life. In this case the item is depreciated over its useful life, assigning an expense amount to each accounting period that the item has value.

3. Journal Entry for item (g):

Debit Finished Goods $607,000

Credit Work in Process $592,000

Credit Manufacturing overhead $15,000

To record the cost of manufactured parts, including the under-applied overhead.

4. Cost of goods sold = 10,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $379,375

(While Ending Inventory = 6,000 *$607,000/16,000 = $227,625.)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $4,800,000

Estimated machine hours = 240,000

Overhead rate = $4,800,000/240,000 = $20 per machine hour

Actual cost data for January:

Number of machine parts = 16,000

Raw materials purchased on account = $325,000

Raw materials cost:

 Direct materials = $232,000 (80% of $290,000)

 Indirect materials = $58,000 (20% of $290,000)

Labor cost

 Direct labor = $60,000 ($180,000 * 1/3)

 Indirect labor = $120,000 ($180,000 * 2/3)

Manufacturing overhead:

 Depreciation = $75,000

 Others = $62,000

 Indirect materials = $58,000

 Indirect labor = $120,000

Total actual overhead incurred = $315,000

Machine hours actually worked = 15,000

b) Other Accounts

1. Expenses Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead               62,000

2. Depreciation Expense - Equipment

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Manufacturing overhead              $75,000

3. Raw Materials Account

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Accounts Payable      $325,000

Work in Process                             $232,000

Manufacturing overhead                   58,000

4. Accounts Payable

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Raw Materials                                $325,000

c) The manufacturing overhead applied is $300,000 (15,000 machines hours actually used multiplied by $20 overhead rate), while the actual overhead costs incurred total $315,000.  So there is an under-applied overhead of $15,000 which is charged to Finished Goods in order to obtain the correct cost of 16,000 custom-made machined parts.

The Akron Slugger Company produces various types of wooden baseball bats. It has calculated the average cost per unit of a produ
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

\arge\boxed{\large\boxed{\$ 117,788}}

Explanation:

Assume the <em>cost</em> equation to be:

                Cost(x)=Fixed\text{ }costs+Variable\text{ }costs\\\\Cost(x)=A+Bx

Where x is the number of units (wooden baseball bats) produced.

The <em>average cost per unit of production level</em> is the total cost divided by the number of units produced:

              Average\text{ }cost(x)=Cost(x)/x\\\\Average\text{ }cost(x)=(A+Bx)/x\\

You are given that the <em>average cost per unit of a production level of 7,700 bats is $14</em>, then:

             14=(A+7,700B)/7,700

You are also given that the <em>fixed costs</em> are <em>$22,500</em>, thus A = 22,500. Hence, you can substitute the value of A in the previous equation and find B:

              14=(22,500+7,700B)/7,700\\\\14\times 7,700=22,500+7,700B\\\\107,800-22,500=7,700B\\\\85,300/7,700=B\\\\B=11.08

Now you can complete the cost equation:

             

               Cost(x)=\$ 22,500+11.08x

And to predict the total costs for 8,600 bats you must subsitute x with 8,600 in the previous equation:

             Cost(8,600)=\$ 22,500+11.08(8,600)=\$ 117,788

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Explanation:

When opening a business in a monopolistically competitive market structure it is incredibly difficult to compete and find a loyal customer base to make a profit. The best way to differentiate your product would be to personalize it as much as possible for every client. Personalizing not only the product but the shopping experience for each individual client makes that client feel special and cared about. This helps convince them to purchase this product from you as opposed to a competitor. Therefore, slowly increasing your loyal customer base.
