Answer:

E) Select at random 50 apartments from all the apartments in the 10 buildings.

Explanation:

Unbiased sampling is when each element has an equal chance of getting picked out of a sample population.

In this case, a random selection of 50 apartments from all the 10 buildings gives each apartment an equal probability to get selected while all other options introduce some sort of a bias. There fore the option that gives unbiased opportunity of selection is option E.

Hope that helps.

Solution:

Step 1:

To measure the sage unit cost of the year of a commodity, plan the statement below:

Details                                                                       Year 1          Year 2

Direct materials per unit                                              $25              $25

Add: Direct labour per unit                                             $15              $15

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit         $5               $5

Total product cost per unit                                            $45            $45  

Thus, the unit product cost under variable costing for yea 1 and year 2 is $45  

Step 2:

                       Variable costing income statement

                      For the year ended year 1 and year 2

Details                                                                       Year 1          Year 2

Unit sold (a)                                                             40,000        50,000

Sales [ b=a x 60 each ]                                         2,400,000   3,000,000

Variable product cost [c=a*45 each]                   1,800,000    2,250,000

Variable selling and administrative costs

[d=a*$2]                                                                 80,000          1,00,000

Contribution margin [e=b-c-d]                             520,000          650,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead [f]                       250,000         250,000

Fixed selling and administrative expense [g]     80,000           80,000

Net operating income [e-f-g]                             $190,000      $320,000

Step 3:

Details                                                                  Year 1          Year 2

Direct materials per unit                                       $25              $25

Add: Direct labour per unit                                   $15               $15

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit   $5              $5

Add: Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

       Year - 1 - ($250,000 + 50,000 units)

       Year - 1 - ($250,000 + 40,000 units)               $5             $6

Total product cost per unit                                 $50.00          $51.25  

Step 4:

                      Absorption Costing Income Statement

                     For the years ended Year 1 and Year 2

Units sold [b]                                                   40000        50000

Sales [c = b x $60 each]                            $2400000   $3000000

Cost of goods sold:

Beginning inventory [d]

Year - 1 - No Beginning inventory

Year - 2 - (10,000 units x $50.00 each)              $0        $500,000

Cost of goods manufactured [e]

Cost of goods sold [g = d + e - f]                 $2000000    $2550000

Gross margin [h = c - g]                               $400,000      $450,000

Selling and administrative expenses [i]

[(b x $2 each) + $80,000]                           $160,000           $180000

Net operating income [h- i]                         $240000          $270000

Details                                                                     Year 1          Year 2

Net operating income as per variable costing    $190,000    $320,000

Add/(Less): Difference in valuation of inventory due to fixed manufacturing overhead

Year - 1 - [(50,000 units - 40,000 units) x $5.00 each]

Year - 2 - [(50,000 units - 40.000 units) x $5.00 each] $50000 $(50000)

Net operating income as per absorption costing   $240000    $270000  

                     Reconciliation of Net Operating Income  

Details                                                                     Year 1        Year 2

Net operating income as per variable costing   $190,000  $320,000

Add (Less): Difference in valuation of inventory due to fixed manufacturing overhead

Year - 1 - [(50,000 units - 40,000 units) x $5.00 each]

Year - 2 - [(50,000 units - 40.000 units) x $5.00 each] $50000 $ (50000)

Net operating income as per absorption costing   $240000    $270,000

A holder of a seller-server certificate serves an alcoholic beverage to an intoxicated person for a second time within a 12 mont
Hunter-Best [27]
According to the TABC, seller-server certification can be revoked if one is charged with breaking the laws concerning the sale of alcohol. The length of time that TABC certificate is revoked depends on the number of offenses committed within a period of 12 months. In this case, the holder made a second offence within 12 months, therefore, the holder will not be allowed to get a TABC certification again for 90 days. One is required to take some time off work since it appears he/she has a problem with breaking alcohol laws
