Answer:
the correct answer is "opportunity cost".
the opportunity cost here means the cost of the next best opportunity lost because of spending time at work, this could be 8 hours, 10 hours at work, etc.
the underline point here is that when someone works for, lets say, 8 hours, he or she could have done something else that they enjoy and brings value to them and their family.
but since they are working, they can not engage in that activity. because of this, we call it the opportunity cost! simple right?

Answer:
The total overhead variance in hours taken is 3,600 hours
The total overhead cost variance is $1,110
Explanation:
The variance is about the different between budget/ standard and actual figures.
Standard hours allowed for the work done is 22,200 hours; and the predetermined overhead rate is $5.75 per direct labor hour. So total cost budgeted for work done is $127,650 = $5.57 x 22,200 hours
The total overhead variance in hours taken = standard hours of 22,200 - actual direct labor hours of 18,600 = 3,600 hours
The total overhead cost variance = standard cost - actual cost = $127,650 - $126,540 = $1,110
Answer: A. Raul could gain access to cheaper raw materials in a foreign country, thus lowering the cost of his input factors.
Explanation:
Being able to produce goods at a lower cost is a good thing for a business because it means that the business can be able to sell at a lower price and therefore get more customers and increase overall profitability.
If Raul could access materials from a foreign company at a cheaper rate, this would be advantageous because his company can produce at a lower price and increase profitability.
Answer:
Explanation:
Last year Current year
Selling Price 10 10
Varaible Price 5 6
Contribution Margin 5 4
Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.
company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.
Break Even using FIFO method : first In first out system
Fix Cost = 86000
contribution from opening units(6000*5) = 30000
Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from
current year products = 56000
Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4) = 14000
so we have break even units 6000+14000 = 20000
Fix cost = -86000
Opening 6000*5 = 30000
Current 14000*4 = 56000
Profit = 0
Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out
Fix Cost = 86000
Break even = Fix Cost / Contribution margin
Break even = 86000/4 =21500
current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
