Answer:

A Widgets Firm

Minimization of Shipping Costs to 3 Customers from 4 Locations:

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Shipping Costs per unit Plant Customer

c. $7125

Plants                                Customers

     Production       1                       2                      3                 Total

Demand units        75 units       100 units          175 units    350 units

A       100 units    $25                $35                  $15

B       100 units    $20                $30                 $40

C      100 units    $40                 $35                 $20

D       50 units     $15                 $20                 $25

To minimize shipping costs:

Satisfy Customer 1's 75 units from B = $20 x 75 =    $1,500

Satisfy Customer 2's 25 units from B = $30 x 25 =       750

Satisfy Customer 2's 25 units from C = $35 x 25 =      875

Satisfy Customer 2's 50 units from D = $20 x 50 =    1,000

Satisfy Customer 3's 100 units from A = $15 x 100 =  1,500

Satisfy Customer 3's 75 units from C = $20 x 75 =    1,500

Daily minimum shipping cost  =                                 $7,125

Minimizing the shipping cost to a location is not considered in isolation. The other locations must be considered.  For example, customer 1's shipping cost would have been minimized to $1,250 instead of $1,500 by shipping D's 50 units and B's 25 units.  But, this would have increased the shipping cost to customer 2 by $500 from $2,625 to $3,125.  Whereas, the company lost $250 shipping to customer 1, it gained $500 shipping to customer 2, thereby making a net gain of $250, instead of net loss of $250.

On November 15, Meier Company received $3,000 cash from a customer for services that were performed on November 1. According to
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

November 1

Explanation:

As per generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), when the goods or services are delivered the revenue should be recorded and the transaction done in all respects.

The principle of revenue recognition occurs when the revenue is realized or earned, whether cash is obtained or not and it also meets the accounting accrual basis. Realizable here means that the consumer receives the product but the payment is made later.

Therefore, the revenue should be recorded on November 1

Tee Time Golf Resort plans to use famous Kauri wood from New Zealand for parts of the interior of the magnificent clubhouse at i
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.

Explanation:

given data

slab = 10 feet

cost Tee Time =  $5,000

$500 US dollars = $738 NZ dollars

solution

If they import timber from New Zealand. Tea Golf Resort pays less than $ 5000 to import Wood from New Zealand at the current exchange rate. This is a good time for them to import forests

we get here current exchange rate of 1 dollar that is as

US $500 = NZ $738

so $1 = \frac{738}{500}  

$1 = NZ  $1.476

current exchange rate is $1 = NZ $1.476

so

10 foot slab costs $5000

so Tee Golf Resort will pay is

Tee Golf Resort pay = \frac{5000}{1.476}  

Tee Golf Resort pay = $3387.53

so correct option is C. it's a good time to buy the wood.
