I believe that the strategy you are using when you only read the title, section headings, and captions is called the SQ3R reading method. The abbreviation stands for survey, question, read, recite, and review, and it helps you better understand your assignment.
Question
Ellis Television makes and sells portable televisions. Each television regularly sells for $210. The following cost data per television is based on a full capacity of 10,000 televisions produced each period.
Direct material - $80
Direct Labour -$60
Manufacturing overhead(70% variable, 30% unavoidable fixed cos) -$40
A special order has been received by Ellis for a sale of 2,000 televisions to an overseas customer. The only selling costs that would be incurred on this order would be $6 per television for shipping. Ellis is now selling 6,000 televisions through regular channels each period. What should be the minimum selling price per television in negotiating a price for this special order?
Answer:
The minimum selling price = $174.
Explanation:
The minimum selling price to be acceptable for the special order be the same as the relevant variable cost of producing a unit.
The relevant variable cost = marginal cost of a unit
Marginal cost = Direct material + Direct labour + Variable manufacturing overhead + shipping cost
Marginal cost = 80 + 60 + (70%× 40) + 6
= 174
The minimum selling price = $174.
Note : The 30% balance of manufacturing overhead which represents unavoidable fixed costs is irrelevant for this decision. These are costs that would be incurred either way whether or not the special order is accepted.
$553,950 is the total cost of the production.
Explanation:
In the table attached the various factors are explained
The total production, direct labour, total direct labour hours per unit and the total cost is calculated.
The total production of standard production for 3 months is calculated as (30,000*$15)=$450,000
the total production of deluxe product is calculated as (6,930*$15)=>$103,950
then the sum is found to get the total cost that is $553,950.
Answer:
Debit : Cost of Goods Sold : $75
Credit : Inventory : $75
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market method is based on the conservative accounting theory. This is where company accounts are prepared with caution and verification. All losses are recorded as they are discovered whereas gains are recorded only after realised. In this case, there is a gain in Inventory A, hence it won’t be recorded as of yet. However, the value of Inventory B has reduced and this requires to be recorded.
The cost of Inventory B should be reduced to the lower net realizable value, hence it would be reduced by the difference : $625 - $550 = $75
Debit : Cost of Goods Sold : $75
Credit : Inventory : $75
According to jennifer Jacquet's, shaming does not work when:
- The majority of other people does not follow that specific action (for example if most people within a certain society does not feel shame being naked in public, it is very unlikely you could shame an individual to do so)
- There is no punishment associated with the shame
- There is other option that balance the action associated with the shame
