Firm I has been selling its products through a distributor for some time. It has become the market share leader. Unfortunately,

this distributor has not been able to keep up with the evolving technology and customers are complaining. There are no alternative distributors available. Should Firm I keep its current distributor or should it begin distribution on its own?

Firm I should  begin distribution on its own in order to prevent loss and

liquidation of the company.

It is best for the company to become vertically integrated in instances such

as this. Vertical integration involves companies controlling more than one

stage of production.

By so doing, the company can restrategize and ensure its products satisfy

the customers through the adoption of the technology they are complaining

about. This helps to ensure increased profit made from the goods.

Which of the following mortgages would you prefer to hold if you were a lender and you expected inflation of uncertain magnitude
Elodia [21]

Answer: Option C

                             

Explanation: An adjustable mortgage (ARM) is a borrowing form in which the rate of interest charged to the remaining balance varies all across the loan's lifetime. The new interest rate is set for an amount of time with an adjustable-rate mortgage, after which it resets regularly, often quarterly or even monthly.

The mortgage can be given at the normal variable rate/base rate of the lender. There may be a clear and statutorily defined relation to the applicable index, but if the creditor does not provide a specific link to the underlying market or index, the rate may be adjusted at the option of the lender.

Yes. Companies should be protected by tariffs.. why?
Reptile [31]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A tariff is a tax that the government imposes on either the imports or the exports of products or sevices.

Apart from the fact that tariff is a way of generating revenue by the government, tariffs help protect the domestic industry. This is because tariffs increases the price of imported goods.

Since there is an increase in the price of the imports, consumers tend to buy from the local manufacturer since their products tend to be cheaper when compared to the imports. This gives an edge to the domestic companies.

An increase in the price of cheese crackers from $2.25 to $2.45 per box causes suppliers of cheese crackers to increase their qu
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) "elastic, and the price elasticity of supply is 1.74"

Explanation:

Formula:

( (Qf - Qi) ÷ ((Qf + Qi) ÷ 2) )             ÷             ( (Pf - Pi) ÷ ((Pf + Pi) ÷ 2) )

       Quantity                                                                 Price

Lets remplace:

Qi = Initial Quantity = 125 boxes

Qf = Final Quantity = 145 boxes

Pi = Initial Price = $2.25

Pf=  Final Price = $2.45

Quantity                                                                   Price

(145 - 125) ÷ ((145 + 125) ÷ 2)      ÷     (2.45-2.25) ÷ ((2.45+2.25)÷ 2)

= (20) ÷ (270÷ 2)                                           = (0.2) ÷  (4.7 ÷ 2)

= 20 ÷  135                                                    = 0.2 ÷ 2.35

= 0.148                                                          = 0.085

Finally:  we divide the result of quantity into the result of price

= 0.148 ÷ 0.085

= 1.74

To classify into elastic or inelastic:

When Pes > 1, then supply is price elastic

When Pes < 1, then supply is price inelastic

When Pes = 0, supply is perfectly inelastic

Answer:  <em>Elastic, and the price elasticity of supply is 1.74</em>

2. T-accounts:

Manufacturing overhead

Account Title                   Debit        Credit

Raw materials             $58,000

Wages & Salaries        120,000

Depreciation- Equip.     75,000

Expense Payable          62,000

Finished Goods

Account Title                     Debit        Credit

Work in Process           $592,000

Manufacturing overhead  15,000

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.
