Bengal Co. provides the following unit sales forecast for the next three months: July August September Sales units 4,400 5,100 4,960 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of the next month's sales. Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,100 units. The budgeted production units for July are:
Answer:
the budgeted production units for July are 4,575 units
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted production units for July are shown below:
= July units + ending units - beginning untits
= 4,400 units + (5,100 × 25%) - 1,100 units
= 4,400 units + 1,275 units - 1,100 units
= 4,575 units
Hence, the budgeted production units for July are 4,575 units
Hence, the same would be considered and relevant

Private goods are referred to as the goods that are excludable and also possess the characteristics of rivalry. Such goods can only be consumed when people pay for them and those who don't pay will noy benefit from the goods.
The demand and supply of private goods will bring about an efficient level of output such that the demand will be equal to the supply. It should be noted that other goods may be faced with challenges like the externality problem, free rider problem etc.
On January 1, 2018, M Company granted 90,000 stock options to certain executives. The options are exercisable no sooner than December 31, 2020, and expire on January 1, 2024. Each option can be exercised to acquire one share of $1 par common stock for $12. An option-pricing model estimates the fair value of the options to be $5 on the date of grant. If unexpected turnover in 2019 caused the company to estimate that 10% of the options would be forfeited, what amount should M recognize as compensation expense for 2019? Group of answer choices $150,000. $30,000. $60,000. $120,000.
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine What amount should M recognize as compensation expense for 2019
First step is to calculate the Value of the option using this formula
Value of the option = Stock options × Fair value of the options
Let plug in the formula
Value of the option=90,000*$5
Value of the option=$450,000
Now let determine compensation expense for 2019
2019 Compensation expense=[($450,000*(100%-10%))*2/3]-$450,000/3 years
2019 Compensation expense=[($450,000*90%)*2/3]-$150,000
2019 Compensation expense=($405,000*2/3)-$150,000
2019 Compensation expense=$270,000-$150,000
2019 Compensation expense=$120,000
Therefore The amount that M recognize should recognize as compensation expense for 2019 is $120,000

define biospheredefine biosphere
Answer:
Explanation:
The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere"), also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos "environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth. The biosphere is virtually a closed system with regards to matter, with minimal inputs and outputs. With regards to energy, it is an open system, with photosynthesis capturing solar energy at a rate of around 130 Terawatts per year. However it is a self-regulating system close to energetic equilibrium. By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning with a process of biopoiesis (life created naturally from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter), at least some 3.5 billion years ago.
Answer:
the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

Using the estimated sales and production of 140,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following manufacturing cost per box: Direct material $ 3.70 Direct labor 2.00 Manufacturing overhead 1.60 Total cost $ 7.30 The costs above relate to making both the lip balm and the tube that contains it. As an alternative to making the tubes for Chap-Off, Silven has approached a supplier to discuss the possibility of buying the tubes. The purchase price of the supplier's empty tubes would be $1.20 per box of 24 tubes. If Silven Industries stops making the tubes and buys them from the outside supplier, its direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead costs per box of Chap-Off would be reduced by 10% and its direct materials costs would be reduced by 20%. Required: 1. If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, how much of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box will it be able to avoid
Answer:
Silven Industries
If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, it will be able to avoid $1.10 of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated Production and Sales Units of Chap-Off = 140,000 boxes
Manufacturing cost per box: Avoidable costs
Direct material $ 3.70 $0.74 ($3.70 * 20%)
Direct labor 2.00 0.20 ($2.00 * 10%)
Manufacturing overhead 1.60 0.16 ($1.60 * 10%)
Total cost $ 7.30 $1.10
Outside supplier's price for tubes = $1.20 per box
b) Unless there an alternative use for the machine used in making the tubes internally exists, it may not be cost-effective for Silven to buy from the outside supplier. Alternatively, it should renegotiate a price per box that is less than $1.10 in order to stop making the tubes internally.
Ginger attacks Richard and cuts him with a knife. He sues Ginger. The jury awards Richard $50,000 for medical expenses and lost time at work and adds $100,000 to the award because Ginger was so vicious. The $100,000 is called: A. punitive damages B. compensatory damages C. nominal damages D. an equitable remedy E. none of the other choices
Answer: A. punitive damages
Explanation:
Punitive damages are awarded by a court in order to further punish the guilty party for their actions which according to the court shows that the party committed the crime intentionally.
They are awarded on top of the compensatory damages and are usually larger than the compensatory damage. The compensatory damage here is the $50,000 that was awarded for medical expenses which means that the $100,000 is for punitive damages.
Juno Markets is offering 900 shares in a Dutch auction IPO. The following bids have been received: How much will Bidder B have to spend to purchase all of the shares that have been allocated to him
Answer:
$4,320.00
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much will Bidder B have to spend to purchase all of the shares that have been allocated to him
Bidder B Cost = 300 *[900/(100 + 300 + 400+200)] *$16

The Terme Corporation is contemplating the purchase of new equipment, which may potentially increase revenues by 30%. Currently, sales are $830,000 per year and cost of sales are 65% of sales. The equipment is expected to last for 4 years with no residual value. The cash outflow expected at the beginning of the year is $289,200. Ignoring income taxes, what is the estimated annual net operating income increase/decrease
Answer:
Annual net operating income= $14,850
Explanation:
The annual net operating income is the incremental sales less costs of good sold and annual depreciation.
Annual depreciation = (Cost of equipment - Salvage value)Number of years
= (289,200-0)/4 = 72,300
Increase in sales= $249,000
Annual net operating income = 249,000- (65%×249,000)-72,300=301,200
Annual net operating income= $14,850
Suppose you've just inherited $66,000 from your rich Aunt. You're trying to decide whether to keep the $66,000 in cash so that you can use it for transactions or to deposit the entire amount in a savings account for one year. Suppose that the interest rate on a savings account is 2.5% per year. What would be the opportunity cost of holding the $66,000 as money
Answer:
Opportunity cost of holding the money = $1.650
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative sacrificed in favour of a decision.
The opportunity cost of holding the money is the interest on deposit that would be have been earned should it be invested at the savings rate.
Interest on savings deposit = interest rate × deposit
= 2.5%× 66,000= $1,650

Hordel Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Hordel expects to sell 6,100 units and wants a target profit of $93 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 80 Variable administrative cost per unit 35 Total fixed overhead 53,000 Total fixed administrative 11,050 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Total variable cost = Variable product cost + Variable administrative cost per unit
= (6,100 × $80 per unit) + (6,100 × $35)
= $488,000 + $213,500
= $701,500
Total fixed cost = Total fixed overhead + Total fixed administrative cost
= $53,000 + $11,050
= $64,050
Total fixed cost per unit = $64,050 ÷ 6,100 = $10.5
Total cost = Total variable cost + Total fixed cost
= $701,500 + $64,050
= $765,550
Target profit = 6,100 × $93 = $567,300
Desired selling price = Total cost + Target profit
= $765,550 + $567,300
= $1,332,850
Desired selling price per unit = $1,332,850 ÷ 6,100 = $218.5
Therefore,
Markup percentage on variable cost
= [(Desired selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) ÷ Variable cost per unit] × Variable cost per unit
= [($218.5 - 115) ÷ (115)] × 115
= 103.5%
