Charter Corporation manufactures a single product that has a cost of $350. The company uses a 70% markup on cost to arrive at a

selling price of $595, which results in a price that virtually always exceeds that of the market leaders. If Charter changes to the approach known as target costing, the company will first: undertake a thorough study of competitors' prices. change the markup so that it is based on sales rather than based on cost. attempt to re-engineer its product. trim its $350 cost. reduce its 70% markup rate.

Answer:

trim its $350 cost.

Explanation:

Target costing starts in the final selling of a good and then the company deducts its desired markup. The result is the target cost of the product. The company then tries to cut production costs in order to reach that target cost.

E.g. the market price is $500

target cost = $500 / 1.7 = $294.12

the company will try to manufacture its product spending just $294.12 per unit

If Starbucks raises its price by 5 percent and McDonald’s experiences a 0.5 percent increase in demand for its coffee, what is t
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = 0.1</em>

Explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand as below:

<em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded for product X/ % change in price of product Y</em>

<em />

Starbucks raises its price by 5 percent, so that <em>percentage changes in price of Starbucks' products</em> are 5

McDonald's experiences a 0.5 percent increase in demand for its coffee, so that <em>percentage changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee </em>is 0.5

=> <em>Cross-price elasticity of demand = % changes in quantity demanded for McDonald's coffee/ %changes in price of Starbucks' products</em>

<em>= 0.5/5=  0.1</em>

Derst Inc. sells a particular textbook for $140. Variable expenses are $25 per book. At the current volume of 6,000 books sold p
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price of a product = $140 per textbook

Variable expenses = $25 per book

Books sold per year = 6,000 books (It is the break even point)

The break even point indicates that there is no profit or loss incurred at the sales.

This means that the sales revenue is equal to the total cost incurred to produced these goods.

Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit - Fixed costs per unit = 0

$140 - $25 - Fixed costs = 0

$115 = Fixed costs per unit

Therefore, the total amount of fixed cost is calculated as follows:

= Fixed cost per unit × Number of books sold

= $115 × 6,000

= $690,000

alexira [117]

Answer:

The overhead application rate is 1.8

Explanation:

In the question both the estimated and actual overhead cost , material and labor cost are provided -

                                     ESTIMATED                 ACTUAL

Overhead cost             $396,000                     $418,000

Material cost                $410,000                      $413,200

Direct cost                    $220,000                    $224,000

Overhead application rate can be calculated by dividing the total budgeted overhead cost by direct labor cost.

= Budgeted overhead cost / direct labor cost

= $396,000 / $220,000

= 1.8

A regional airline owns 10 aircraft and employs 20 pilots. The airline makes an average of three trips per day with each of its
marishachu [46]

Answer:

a short-run decision because the number of aircraft is held constant while the labor input is changed.

Explanation:

In the short run, at least one variable or factor of production is fixed and cannot be changed. In the long run, all factors of production can be changed.

In this case, the number of aircraft is the fixed factor of production (capital) while labor is variable because more pilots can be hired. Regulation state that pilots must rest a certain amount of time in between flights, so if you want to increase the amount of flights you need to hire more pilots and cabin crews since regulations do not require planes to rest.
