Answer:
a. 29,450
Explanation:
Equivalent units under FIFO method are calculated using the following formula: Equivalent units for each cost component = (100% − A) × B + C + D × E . Where a = percentage of completion at the end of last period
, b = units in opening work in process
, c = units started and completed in current period (30,000 - 3,000 =27,000), d = percentage of completion of units in closing work in process
, e = units in closing work in process
Equivalent units for each cost component
= (100% − 75%) × 5000 + 27000 + 40% × 3000
= 29,450
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "E": Perceptual defense.
Explanation:
In psychology, perceptual defense refers to the suppression of a stimulus that represents a threat or an uncomfortable situation for an individual. Those inputs are distorted somehow by the individual to reject the unpleasant feeling so that the person does not feel that bad because of it. In such a way, the brain works as a defense mechanism able to distort information to mitigate the effects in the behavior produced by the stimulus.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": An executive attends a trade show solely to obtain a competitor's brochures, listen to sales pitches, and ask questions about the competitor's products.
Explanation:
Competitive intelligence refers to the steps companies take to obtain information about their surrounding environment and competitors. If the attempt is to conduct competitive intelligence ethically and legal, top executives in charge should obtain as much information as possible from a <em>legitimate source</em> with the limitations that could imply <em>without compromising the company</em> in business not inherent to its operations.
Answer:
E. $25,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
The labor efficiency variance shall be calculated using the following formulas:
Labor efficiency variance=((Standard labor hours used to make the actual production
)- (Actual labor hours used to make the actual production))* standard rate per hour
Standard labor hours used to make the actual production=15,000
Actual labor hours used to make the actual production=17,500
standard rate per hour=$10 per hour
Labour efficiency variance=(15,000-17,500)*10
=25,000 unfavourable
So based on the above discussion, the answer shall be E. $25,000 unfavorable
Answer:
increase by $15,600
Explanation:
Fixed cost remains constant throughout a period. If production is through the use of idle capacity, fixed cost will not change.
Change is income will result from the total contribution margin realized from the special order.
The total contribution margin is the contribution margin per unit multiplied by total units.
Contribution margin per unit = special offer price - variable costs
=$23.40- $18.20
=$5.20
change in income will be $5.20 x 3000
=$15,600 increase
