Answer:

A.C. Tech Manufacturing Appliances

Product Models to produce first, if management incorporates a short-run profit-maximizing strategy:

                                                 Small      Medium     Large

Selling price                             $430       $610          $1,210

Variable cost                            $270       $280         $530

Contribution                            $160        $330         $680

Fixed Costs:

Fixed manufacturing                 $40         $170          $270

Fixed selling & admin                $70         $75            $140

Unit Profit                                   $50         $85            $270

Demand in units                         150         170              150

Total profit                               $7,500     $14,450      $40,500

Machine hours/unit                     60           60             150

Total machine hours required 9,000      10,200        22,500

Unit profit per machine hour   $0.83      $1.42         $1.80

If management incorporates a short-run profit maximizing strategy, given maximum machine hours available, it should first produce the large model.

Explanation:

The large model offers better contribution per unit, better profit per unit and in total, and most importantly better profit per unit of hour (major constraint).

In making a limiting factor decision, the choice goes to the product model that produces more profit under the limiting constraint.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Budgeted Sales (at retail):

January $300,000*0.60=  180,000

February $340,000*0.6= 204,000

March $400,000*0.6= 240,000

April $350,000

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales 60%

Desired ending inventory 75% of next month sales

April:

Purchase from March= (240,000*0.25) + (350,000*0.60*0.75)=60,000 + 157,500= $217,500

aleksandrvk [35]

"researchers usually start their investigation by examining some of the rich variety of low-cost and readily available <u>"secondary" </u>data, then collect <u>"primary"</u> data if the needed data don't existing or are dated, inaccurate, incomplete or unreliable."


Primary data will be data that you gather particularly with the end goal of your examination venture. An advantage of primary data is that it is particularly custom fitted to your examination needs. A weakness is that it is costly to acquire.  

Secondary data alludes to information which is gathered by somebody who is somebody other than the client. Regular sources of secondary data for sociology incorporate censuses, data gathered by government divisions, hierarchical records and information that was initially gathered for other research purposes.

In the Vasquez Corporation, any overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to Cost of Goods Sold. Last yea
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for overapplied manufacturing overhead, for the year must have been $69,000.

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

Applied manufacturing overhead cost = $29,000

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $27,000

Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year = $71,000

Overapplied manufacturing overhead = Applied manufacturing overhead cost - Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $29,000 - $27,000 = $2,000

Therefore, we have:

Cost of Goods Sold = Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year - Overapplied manufacturing overhead = $71,000 - $2,000 = $69,000

Therefore, Cost of Goods Sold, after adjustment for overapplied manufacturing overhead, for the year must have been $69,000.
