Len [333]

Answer:

1.$4.29 per cases

2. Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3a. Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Explanation:

1. Computation for the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa using Plantwide overhead rate

Using this formula

Overhead cost=Total overhead cost/Total volume

Let plug in the formula

First step is to calculate the Total overhead cost

Total overhead cost = $130,800 + $349,000 +$206,000

Total overhead cost =$685,800

Second step is to calculate the Total volume

Total volume= 35,000 + 125,000 cases

Total volume=160,000 cases

Now let calculate the Overhead cost

Overhead cost=$685,800/160,000 cases

Overhead cost=$4.29 per cases (rounded)

Therefore since we are making use of plantwide rate which means that same overhead cost of the amount of $4.29 per cases will be assigned to each of the two case .

2. Calculation to determine the total cost per case for the two products

Extra Fine Family Style

Direct materials + Direct Labor $ 10.00 $ 9.00

Add Overhead $4.29 $4.29

Manufacturing cost per case $ 14.29 $ 13.39

Therefore the the total cost per case for the two products will be:

Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3-A Calculation to determine the gross profit per case for each product.

Extra Fine Family Style

Selling price per case $ 19.00 $ 13.00

Less Manufacturing cost per case $14.29 $13.29

Gross profit (loss) per case $ 4.71. $ (0.29 )

Therefore the gross profit per case for each product will be ;

Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3-b. Based on the above Calculation What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Using accrual accounting, expenses are recorded and reported only: _A. when they are incurred and paid at the same time. B. if t

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

C. when they are incurred, whether or not cash is paid.

Explanation:

In accrual accounting, expenses are recorded in the moment they are incurred, even if they have not been paid for.

In fact, the term "accrued expense" means an expense that has been incurred, but not yet paid.

One common example of an accrued expense is accrued wages:

Suppose that a firm hires a worker on March 1, for a wage of $1,000 dollars per month, that is due to be paid at the end of the month (March 31). This worker is earning $33 per day. By March 4, the firm should have recorded accrued wages for $132 ($33 x 4 days) even if no payments will be made until March 31.

A customer called his registered representative to place a trade to buy 100 shares of ABC. The customer wants to put a limit on

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

unsolicited trade

Explanation:

In this scenario, the trade that was made would be considered an unsolicited trade. This is mainly due to the customer having called the representative telling him to place the trade and buy the 100 shares of ABC stock. Therefore, this trade was ultimately the idea of the investor (customer) in this scenario and not the representative's idea. That would make this trade fall into the category of an unsolicited trade. If the idea was initially the representative's and he was the one to mention the trade to the client then it would have been a solicited trade, but this is not the case.

Consider a hypothetical closed economy in which households spend $0.70 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remainin

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) 0.7

(b) 3.33

(c) -$210

(d) -$147

(e) -$1 trillion

Explanation:

(a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.7

(b) Multiplier of this economy:

$=\frac{1}{1-MPC}$

$=\frac{1}{1-0.7}$

= 3.33

(c) Decrease government purchases by $300 billion,

Initial change in consumption = Change in government purchases × MPC

= $300 × 0.7

= -$210 billion

(d) This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:

= Initial change in consumption × MPC

= -$210 × 0.7

= -$147 billion

(e) The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:

= Change in government purchases × Multiplier

= $300 × 3.33

= -$1 trillion
