kotykmax [81]
The ‘SMART’ technique a tool for effective goal setting. The acronym SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound, all of which are requisites for goals. The goal “to sell a combination of six refrigerators, stoves or dishwashers to earn a bonus” is specific, measurable, attainable and realistic because Michelle has done this before. Yet the goal is not time-bound. The length of time it is required to meet is not specified in the goal.

You prepare the direct materials purchase budgets for Clair Jams and Jellies. In June, the company plans to sell 134 cases of pe
prisoha [69]

Answer:

A: $20,213

Explanation:

Required Inventory at end of June = 200 pounds

Leftover inventory from May = 80 pounds

Jars sold in June = 134 cases x 14 jars/case = 1,876 jars

The total amount required for each jar is the sum of the amount per jar plus wastage and spoilage:

R=0.70+0.30+0.25 = 1.25\ pounds/jar

The total amount of pounds needed to be bought in June is the weight required for all the 1,876 jars, plus the required Inventory at end of June minus the leftover inventory from May:

N=1.25*1,876 +200-80\\N=2,465\ pounds

The reported amount for direct materials purchase budget (DM) for peach jam is given by:

DM =2,465*\$8.20\\DM=\$20,213
