Molly C. has just purchased a pasta manufacturing business. Molly’s new business produces ravioli, tortellini, and other cheese-

filled pastas. The pasta is flash-frozen and shipped throughout the country for sale in upscale grocery stores. Molly estimates that she will use 10,000 pounds of cheese filling each month, and that each type of pasta is filled with .5 ounce of the cheese filling. The cheese filling consists of 3 types of cheese, eggs, and spices. The costs associated with each pound of cheese filling consist of $10.64 direct materials, $14.96 direct labor, $14.60 variable overhead, and $13.00 fixed overhead. Pasta Specialties (PS) has approached Molly and offered to supply 10,000 pounds of cheese filling each month for $405,200. If the variable costs of production can be avoided, should Molly accept the PS offer, why or why not?
A : yes, because Molly will save $12.68 per pound by purchasing externally
B : no, because Molly will save $1.92 per pound by producing internally
C : no, because Molly will save $.32 per pound by producing internally
D : no, because Molly will save $14.92 per pound by producing internally

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Molly estimates that she will use 10,000 pounds of cheese filling each month. The costs associated with each pound of cheese filling consist of $10.64 direct materials, $14.96 direct labor, $14.60 variable overhead, and $13.00 fixed overhead. Pasta Specialties (PS) has approached Molly and offered to supply 10,000 pounds of cheese filling each month for $405,200.

Make in house:

Unitary cost= 10.64 + 14.96 + 14.60= $40.2

Nose of the fixed cost are avoidable, therefore they are taken into account to make the decition.

Buy= 405,200/10,000= $40.52

Cost difference= 40.2 - 40.52= -0.32

Antarctica has been continuously glaciated for the last __________ years. geology
o-na [289]

Answer:

15 million years

Explanation:

Antarctica is the continent that is spread around the South Pole, known for being covered with ice, and being the coldest place on the planet. The glaciation of the continent started around 34 million years, started to speed up since 23 million years ago, and became dominant on this continent only around 15 million years ago. Antarctica has not always been covered in ice, and in fact, through the majority of its geologic history Antarctica has been covered with dense forests. This was possible because the continent was much further north, relatively close to the Equator, thus its climate was tropical, subtropical, and temperate. That all started to change as first Pangaea, and then Gondwanaland broke apart, and Antarctica was the piece that was moving toward the South Pole. As Africa, India, Australia, and at last South America drifted apart from Antarctica, the continent was left surrounded by ocean waters where very cold ocean currents occurred because of the continental drift. On top of it the continent got into a place where the sunlight is very weak, thus gradually it started to freeze and had become almost entirely glaciated.

konstantin123 [22]

The following journal entry will be passed in the books of accounts and the interest expense is calculated to an amount of $9600

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

amount of note: $200000, annual principal payments to be made each year at December 31st = $40000, interest amount to be charged = 6 percent, duration of note = 5 years

the following calculation is made in order to find out the amount of interest:

Amount of note minus principal payment multiply with rate of interest

now, putting the figures in formula:

interest = 200000 minus 40000 = $160000 multiply with .06 = $9600

Thus, the interest amount = $9600

The interest expense will be debited with an amount of $9600 in the books of accounts.
