A company uses a process costing system. Its Assembly Department's beginning inventory consisted of 53,600 units, 75% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. The direct labor beginning inventory costs were $9,800. The department completed and transferred out 118,500 units this period. The ending inventory consists of 43,600 units that are 25% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The department incurred direct labor costs of $33,000 and overhead costs of $41,000 for the period. Assuming the weighted average method, the direct labor cost per equivalent unit (rounded to the nearest cent) is:

EU cost for direct labor $ 0,33

Explanation:

weighted average will be  the transferred units plus percentage of completion on ending WIP

118,500 transferred + 43,600 x 25% = 129,400 units

labor cost on beginning WIP 9,800

added cost during the perod 33,000

Total cost 42,800

Equivalent untis cost: $ 42,800 / 129,800 = 0,329738

whats the question fjefjejfejfegrgrgrg

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
