Answer:
See answers below
Explanation:
a. Direct materials & supplies $40,000 = $40,000 × 110%
= $44,000 × 20,000/25,000
= $35,200
Employee costs = $2,900,000 × 105%
= $3,045,000 × 20,000/25,000
= $2,346,000
Variable overhead = $600,000 × 100%
= $600,000 × 20,000/25000
= $480,000
Fixed overhead = $700,000 × 105%
= $735,000
b. Total costs per unit year 2 =
$3,596,000 / 20,000
= $179.81
Answer:

Multi-segment targeting or market segmentation is the classification a company makes to differentiate its existing or potential customers by features such as age, gender, income or occupation. This is done to provide customers a more tailored product according to their characteristics and demands.
Answer:
a. 1, 5 and 7
b. Resources will be allocated inefficiently
c. Differing sizes and capacities
d. Benefits due to economies of scale
e. Reduce prices and improve resource allocation.
Explanation:
The correct combination is 1, 5 and 7. The price of a pure monopoly firm is much higher than that of purely competitive firm because the later is a price taker while the former is a price fixer. Because of this, output of monopoly is lower while the profit margin is higher than that of competitive firm.
Assuming that a pure monopolist and a purely competitive firm have the same unit costs. In the case of a pure monopolist, resources will be allocated inefficiently because the monopolist does not produce at the point of minimum Average Total Cost and does not equate price and Marginal cost.
Even though both monopolists and competitive firms follow the MC = MR rule in maximizing profits, there are differences in the economic outcomes because pure competitors lack capacity and are smaller in size while the monopolist has the capacity to expand inorder to maximize profits.
The costs of a purely competitive firm and a monopoly may be different because the monopolist is capable of taking advantage of cost reduction arising from economics of scale. Pure competitors does not experience economies of scale due to their small sizes.
If a monopoly can experience economies of scale, it can reduce prices beyond that of the pure competitor thereby ensuring a more efficient resource allocation.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. indirect cost.
Explanation:
That is, indirect costs are those costs that the company incurs during the exercise of its activity, whose allocation is more complicated, since they are not directly related to production.
In the above case, it is shown that the environmental effect produced by the cyclone is not directly related to the production of the bricks, so it is considered that it corresponds to indirect costs of the operation.
