check the attached file for a well formatted answer

The purchase budget for the month of Mar 2012 is asked. Also there are no changes in beginning and closing inventories. The data given is summarised as below,

Brand 1 Brand 2

Bottle size 2 lit 2 lit

Number of bottles 106000 81000

Concentrate cost $85 per pound

Concentrate used 0.15 lb per 100 lit 0.2 lb per 100 lit

Carbonated water used 2 lit 2 lit

Bottle cost $0.1 per bottle

Carbonated water cost $0.08 per litre

Based on this the budget is filled as below,

CONCENTRATE 2-LITRE BOTTLES CARBONATED WATER

Brand 1 (A)

318 lbs

[=106000*2/100*0.15 lbs]

106000 bottles

212000 litres

[106000 bottles * 2 litres]

Brand 2 (B)

324 lbs

[=81000*2/100*0.2 lbs]

81000 bottles

162000

[81000 bottles * 2 litres]

Total Materials (C=A+B) 642 lbs 187000 bottles 374000 litres

Direct materials unit price (D) $ 85 $ 0.1 $ 0.08

Total direct materials to be purchased (E=C*D) $54570 $18700 $29920

You are the manager of a clothing store. You must decide how many of your employees to put on the sales floor, and how many to p

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

c. 60 on the sales floor, 24 on the register.

Explanation:

Given that

The total number of employees to manage is 84

and w assume that the no of employees on the sales floor after having division be x

also the given condition is that there should be minimum of 2 employees for every 5 employees that worked on the sales floor

So that means

x ÷84 = 5 ÷ (5 + 2)

after solving this x = 60

So the no of employees on register is

= 84 - 60

= 24

Subprime lending means lending to borrowers and charging interest that is below the current prime interest rate.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Subprime lending means lending to borrowers and charging interest that is above the current prime interest rate.

The current prime interest refers to the rate offered to the best credit rated customers based on their credit history. This rate is lower as it is meant to be an attraction for the customers who are good credit payers and takers.

The sub-prime lending refers to giving loans at a rate higher than current prime interest rate to the borrowers who are lower on credit rating. This lending takes on higher risk and hence thereby charges higher interest from the borrowers.

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours. The company estimates that their overhead for the year will

aev [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: underapplied by $2,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours.

The company estimates that their overhead for the year will be $180,000 and that they will use 72,000 direct labor hours.

During the year, Martinez Manufacturing used 75,000 direct labor hours and actual overhead costs were $190,000

We need to calculate if the overhead was under or over applied and in what amount.

Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate= 180000/72000= $2.5 an hour

Now, we can calculate the amount of overhead allocated:

Overhead allocated= 75000 hours*2.5= $187,500

Over/under applied= actual overhead - allocated overhead= 190,000 - 185,500= $2,500 underapplied

When Alex's income increased from $2,000 to $4,000, he increased his consumption of bagels from 6 to 10 a month and decrease

Oliga [24]

Answer:

For Bagels = 1.33

For Donuts = -1.33

Explanation:

Using the midpoint method, Alex's percentage change in income is given by the difference in income divided by the average income:

$\%I =\frac{\$4,000-\$2,000}{\frac{\$4,000+\$2,000}{2}}\\\%I=66.67\%$

Alex's percentage change in demand for both bagels and donuts is given by the difference in the quantity consumed divided by the average consumption:

$\%B =\frac{10-6}{\frac{10+6}{2}}\\\%B=50.00\%\\\%D =\frac{9-15}{\frac{15+9}{2}}\\\%D=-50.00\%$

Alex's income elasticity of demand for bagels and donuts, respectively, is:

$E_B=\frac{\%I}{\%B}=\frac{66.67\%}{50\%} \\E_B=1.33\\\\E_D=\frac{\%I}{\%D}=\frac{66.67\%}{-50\%} \\E_D=-1.33$

His income elasticity of demand for bagels is 1.33, while for Donuts it is -1.33.
