Answer:  To remove bias when estimating the proportion of working adults living in urban, suburban, and rural areas.

Explanation: In simple words, stratification refers to the process in which different sections of the society are grouped on the basis of one or more general factors.

In the given case, the company wants to estimate the minutes of working adults in the region and the region is grouped into urban, suburban and rural.

Thus, the random selection from different regions is done so that no bias takes place regarding the number of adult working in these three different areas.

Giving the following information:

Selling price $118

Units sold 2,300

Direct materials $37

Direct labor $23

Variable manufacturing overhead $3

Johnson Marine has the following costs and expected sales for the coming year. Johnson is considering a number of different meth
velikii [3]

Answer:

$375

Explanation:

If Johnson will use the desired gross margin percentage to determine the selling price of its products, they must use the following formula:

selling price per unit = total manufacturing costs per unit / (1 - gross margin)

Total manufacturing costs = variable manufacturing costs + total fixed costs + batch level fixed overhead = $2,350,000 + $1,200,000 + $200,000  = $3,750,000

total manufacturing cost per unit = $3,750,000 / 20,000 units = $187.50

selling price per unit = $187.50 / (1 - 50%) = $187.50 / 50% = $375
