Answer:
Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.
Explanation:
Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.
Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.
Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.
In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.
Answer:
a) The company turn its inventory at 1.5.
b) Per unit inventory cost for a product that costs $1000 is $166.67.
Explanation:
a) number of units sold = ($60000000/year)*(1 unit/$2000)
= 30000 units/year
COGS = 30000 units/year*$1000/unit
= $30000000/year
inventory = $20000000
flow time = inventory/flow rate
= $20000000/30000000 per year
= 0.67 years
inventory turns = 1/flow rate
= 1/(0.67)
= 1.5
Therefore, The company turn its inventory at 1.5.
b) %inventory cost per computer = 25%*0.6667 years
= 16.667%
16.667%*$1000 = $166.67 per unit
Therefore, Per unit inventory cost for a product that costs $1000 is $166.67.
Direct labour rate variance = (3875) unfavourable, Direct labour efficiency rate = (800) unfavourable
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>Computation of Direct Material Price & Quantity Variance
</u>
Direct Material Purchase - Price variance = (SP minus AP) multiply AQ Purchase ($1.45 minus $1.48) multiply19000 = ($570) Unfavourable
Direc Material Quantity Variance =(SQ-AQ)SP =
((20 multiply600)-10500) multiply$1.45 = $2,175 Favourable
Direct Material Price variance - (SP minus AP)AQ Used = ($1.45minus $1.48) multiply10500 = ($315) Unfavourable
<u>Computation of Direct Labour Rate & Efficiency Variance
</u>
Direct Labour Rate variance = (SR minus AR)multiply AH
= ($8 minus $9.25) multiply3100 = -3875 Un Favourable
Direct Labour Efficiency Variance (SH minus AH)multiply SR
= ((5 multiply 600) minus 3100)multiply8) = -800 Un Favourable
