Answer:

The estimated finished goods inventory balance at the end of November is closest to: $383,800.

Explanation:

<em>First calculate the units of ending finished goods inventory for November </em>

units of ending finished goods inventory = 10,100 × 40%

                                                                    = 4,040 units

<em>The determine the unit standard cost</em>

Raw materials ( 5 × $1.00)                                          =   $5.00

Direct labor (3.0 × $19.00)                                          = $57.00

Manufacturing overhead : Variable (3.0 ×$11.00)     = $33.00

Unit Standard Cost                                                     = $95.00

<em>Finished goods inventory balance</em>

Finished goods inventory balance = units of ending finished goods inventory × unit standard cost

                                                          =  4,040 units × $95.00

                                                          =  $383,800

<u>Calculation of Cash Dividend;</u>

It is given that at the end of 2010, Washington corporation reported a $40,000 balance in its common stock account (par value $1 per share) and the treasury stock account balance was $720 (cost $6 per share). It means the number of equity shares outstanding were 40,000 – (720/6) = 39,880 Shares


Further we are given that during 2010, the company declared and paid a cash dividend at $1.50 per share.


Hence,  the total amount of the 2010 cash dividend shall be 39,8880 shares * $1.50 = <u>$59,820</u>

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

6,250 units; 7,000 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Fixed costs for proposal A = $50,000

Fixed costs for proposal B = $70,000

Variable cost for A = $12.00

Variable cost for B = $10.00

Revenue generated by each unit = $20.00

Let x be the number of units at break even point,

(a) Condition for break-even point in units:

Total cost = Total revenue

Fixed cost + Variable cost = (Number of units × Revenue generated by each unit)

50,000 + 12x = 20x

50,000 = 8x

6,250 = x

(b) Condition for break-even point in units:

Total cost = Total revenue

Fixed cost + Variable cost = (Number of units × Revenue generated by each unit)

70,000 + 10x = 20x

70,000 = 10x

7,000 = x

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Technological change refers to an improvement in the efficiency of a product such that the output level increases without an increase in input.  

Here, the rearranging of layout and training of workers is technological change as they are likely to increase production without an increase in inputs.  

Damages caused by a hurricane will reduce the output level, so it will not be classified as a technological change.
