Answer:
1.Predetermined overhead allocation rate = $2.10 per Machine Hour
2.Overhead allocated = $10,605
Explanation:
1. Predetermined overhead allocation rate
using
Estimated manufacturing overhead costs / Estimated Machine Hours = Predetermined overhead allocation rate
=$9,450 / 4,500 Machine Hours = $2.10 per machine hour
Therefore,
Predetermined overhead allocation rate = $2.10 per Machine Hour
2. Manufacturing overhead allocated during the year
Actual Machine Hours Used x Predetermined overhead allocation rate = Overhead allocated
5,050 machine hours x $2.10 per Machine Hour = $10,605
Therefore,
Overhead allocated = $10,605
Replacing obsolete components piece by piece rather than changing the entire product is made possible because of ______.
Answer:
modular design
Explanation:
Modular design is when the faulty part of a system or process is being repaired in a piecemeal instead of replacing the whole system so that they can be more efficient. These means that the faulty parts are broken into smaller units and then rearranged to a larger unit hence increase efficiency. The idea here is not to replace the whole system but to fix or repair or change the faulty area.
Where modular design is adopted by a firm, there would be improvement and consistency in terms of whatever systems or products a firm might be engaging in.
Suppose one U.S. dollar can purchase a half pound of strawberries in the United States. After converting dollar to pesos, one U.S. dollar can now purchase a full pound of strawberries in Mexico. These values represe:_________.
Answer:
The answer is:
a real exchange rate
Explanation:
The last word in the question seems to be incomplete, I am assuming that the intended word is "represent".
Real Exchange Rate (RER), also known as Real Effective Exchange Rates (REER) is an exchange rate that compares the relative price of the two countries' consumption baskets (what the average consumer buys and its price indicates how much consumers pay for it). It gives information beyond the nominal exchange rate or the relative prices of two currencies. In this example, the RER between the U.S dollar and the Mexican Pesos is used to determine what the U.S. dollar can buy in Mexico, as compared to what that same amount can buy in the U.S. This helps to tell us if a currency is undervalued or overvalued.
A constraint with a positive slack value will have a positive dual price. will have a negative dual price. will have a dual price of zero. has no restrictions for its dual price.
Answer:
will have a dual price of zero.
Explanation:
Slack variables are used in linear programming equation where the equation is not balanced and to balance the equation a variable equal to zero is introduced called a slack variable.
The constraint in the slack variable will be zero, where the positive value.
It is never equal to zero, but the value is so low and so near to zero that it is considered to be equal to zero.
On December 12, 2021, Pace Electronics received $25,200 from a customer toward a cash sale of $252,000 of diodes to be completed on January 16, 2022. What journal entries should Pace record on December 12 and January 16
Answer:
(a) Debit Cash for $25,200; Credit Deferred sales revenue for $25,000.
(b) Debit Cash for $2,26,800; Debit Deferred sales revenue for $25,200; and Credit Sales revenue for $252,000.
Explanation:
(a) What journal entries should Pace record on December 12?
The receipt of part-payment of $25,200 from a customer on December 12, 2021 creates a deferred sales revenue which will appear as under current liabilities. The journal entries that Pace should record on December 12, 2021 will therefore look as follows:
Date Account Title Dr ($) Cr ($)
12 Dec '21 Cash 25,200
Deferred sales revenue 25,200
(To record a deferred sales revenue from diodes.)
(b) What journal entries should Pace record on January 16?
On this date, the customer will pay the remaining amount. The amount in the Deferred sales revenue account will now be transferred to the Sales Revenue account and there will be no liability again. The journal entries that Pace should record on January 16, 2022 will therefore look as follows:
Date Account Title Dr ($) Cr ($)
16 Jan '22 Cash (w.1) 2,26,800
Deferred sales revenue 25,200
Sales revenue 252,000
(To record sales revenue from diodes.)
Workings:
w.1: Cash = Sales revenue - Deferred sales revenue = $252,000 - $25,200 = $2,26,800

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Beaver Company used a predetermined overhead rate last year of $2 per direct labour hour based on an estimate of 25,000 direct labour hours to be worked during the year. Actual costs and activity during the year were:
Actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred = $47,000
Actual direct labour hours worked = 24,000
What was the under- or overapplied overhead last year?
Answer:
1,000 overapplied
Explanation:
Beaver company made use of a predetermined overhead rate last year
$2 per direct labour hour on an estimate of 25,000 direct labour hours
The actual costs during the year is $47,000
The actual direct labour hours was 24,000
Therefore, the over or underapplied for last year can be calculated as follows
= (24,000×2)-47,000
= 48,000-47,000
= 1,000 overapplied
Hence, the overhead last year was 1,000 overapplied

(1-b) Did the current ratio improve or worsen over the three year period? (2-a) Compute the acid-test ratio for each of the three years. (2-b) Did the acid-test ratio improve or worsen over the three year period?
Answer:
1a. Current ratio = Current assets / Current Liabilities
Current year = $224,517 / $120168 = 1.88 : 1
1 years ago = $175,652 / $70,310 = 2.50 : 1
2 years ago =$134,088 / $44,840 = 2.99 : 1
1b. The Current ratio worse over three years period
2a. Acid test ratio = (Cash + Investment + Account Receivables) / Current liabilities
Current year = ($29,328 + $0 + $83,351) / $120,168 = 0.94 : 1
1 year ago = ($32,285 + $0 + $57,663) / $70,310 = 1.28 : 1
2 year ago = ($34,323 + $0 + $45,764) / $44,840 = 1.79 : 1
2b. The Acid test ratio are worse over three years period

Torrid Romance Publishers has total receivables of $2,800, which represents 20 days’ sales. Total assets are $73,000. The firm’s operating profit margin is 5.9%. Find the firm's ROA and asset turnover ratio. (Use 365 days in a year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
ROA=4.13
Asset turnover ratio = 0.70 times
Explanation:
1.Computation for ROA
Using this formula
ROA=Net income/Total assets
First step is to find Day's sales in receivables before calculating for the sales amount
Day's sales in receivables = Numbers of days in a year/Total receivables days sales
Let plug in the formula
Day's sales in receivables = 365 / 20
Day's sales in receivables = 18.25times
Now let find the Sales amount using this formula
Sales= Day's sales in receivables× Total receivables
Let plug in the formula
Sales = 18.25 times × $2,800
Sales=$51,100
Second step is to find the Net income
Using this formula
Net income =Percentage of Operating margin× Sales amount
Let plug in the formula
Net income=5.9%×$51,100
Net income =$3,014.90
Now let find the ROA using this formula
ROA=Net income/Total assets
Let plug in the formula
ROA=$3,014.90/$73,000
ROA=0.0413×100
ROA=4.13%
Therefore ROA will be 4.13%
2. Computation for asset turnover ratio
First step is to calculate for the Receivables turnover
Using this formula
Day's sales in receivables = Numbers of days in a year/Total receivables days sales
Let plug in the formula
Day's sales in receivables = 365 / 20
Day's sales in receivables = 18.25times
Second step is to find the Sales amount using this formula
Sales= Day's sales in receivables× Total receivables
Sales = 18.25 times × $2,800
Sales=$51,100
Now let calculate for the Asset turnover ratio using this formula
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Total assets
Let plug in the formula
Asset turnover ratio= $51,100 / $73,000
Asset turnover ratio= 0.70 times
Therefore asset turnover ratio will be 0.70 times
A furniture manufacturer specializes in wood tables. The tables sell for $150 and incur $60 in variable costs. The company has $11, 700 in fixed costs per month. The company desires to earn an operating profit of $10, 800 per month. (Abbreviation used; CM = contribution margin.)
1. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the equation method.
2. Calculate the required sales in units to earn the target profit using the contribution margin method.
3. Calculate the required sales in dollars to earn the target profit using the contribution margin ratio method.
4. Calculate the required sales in units to break even using the contribution margin method.
Answer:
1. 250 wood tables
2. 250 wood tables
3. $37,500
4. 130 wood tables
Explanation:
Sales (units) required to earn a target profit = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution per unit
Where,
Contribution per unit = Selling Price per unit - Variable Costs per unit
= $150 - $60
= $90
Therefore,
Sales (units) required to earn a target profit = ($11, 700 + $10, 800) ÷ $90
= 250 wood tables
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100
= $90 / $150 × 100
= 60 %
Sales (dollars) required to earn a target profit = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= ($11, 700 + $10, 800) ÷ 60%
= $37,500
Sales in Units to Break Even = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
= $11, 700 ÷ $90
= 130 wood tables

You are trying to decide which of two automobiles to buy. The first is American-made, costs $3.0500 x 104, and travels 28.0 miles/gallon of fuel. The second is European-made, costs $4.9100 x 104, and travels 19.0 km/liter of fuel. If fuel costs $3.00/gallon, and other maintenance costs for the two vehicles are identical, how many miles must each vehicle travel in its lifetime for the total costs (puchase cost fuel cost) to be equivalent
Answer:
Both cars(American and European) must travel 8,060 kilo metres each during their lifetime for the total cost(purchase cost + fuel equivalent) to be equivalent
Explanation:
With regards to the above, the cost equation for both cars will be equated together.
Furthermore, we will convert gallons into litres while also converting miles into kilometers.
Since 1 gallon has 3.785 litres; 1 mile also has 1.609 kilo metre, hence milage of the first car in kilo metre per litre would be ;
Milage American made = [ 28 miles × 1.609 ] / 3.785
= 11.90 kilo meter per litres.
Cost of Gas per litre = $3 per gallon / 3.785
= 0.79 per litre
Gas cost per kilo metre(American made) = 0.79 per litre / 11.90
= 0.066 per km
Gas cost per kilo metre(European made) = 0.79 per litre / 19.0
= 0.042 per km
We can sum up the equation of first car which is American made( Purchase price + Fuel cost)
We can make a be the number of kilo metres where total cost for both cars would be equal.
Total cost = 317.2 + 0.066a
Also, the total cost equation - purchase price + fuel cost of European car is represented as;
Total cost = 510.64 + 0.042a
317.2 + 0.066a = 510.64 + 0.042a
Collect like terms
0.066a - 0.042a = 510.64 - 317.2
0.024a = 193.44
a = 8,060 kilo metres
Therefore, both cars(American and European) must travel each 8,060 kilo metres in their life time for the total costs( purchase cost + fuel cost) to be equivalent.
Suppose in year 1 the CPI is 90, in year 2 the CPI is 100, and in year 3 the CPI is 110. Then, inflation is
Answer: E) Both answers B and D are correct.
Explanation:
Inflation using the Consumer Price Index is calculated by;
= (CPI in current year - CPI in previous year) / CPI in previous year
Year 2 Inflation = (100 - 90) / 90
= 11%
Year 3 Inflation = (110 - 100) / 100
= 10%

You would like to have enough money saved after your retirement such that you and your heirs can receive $100,000 per year in perpetuity. How much would you need to have saved at the time of your retirement in order to achieve this goal
The question is incomplete. The complete question is stated below,
You would like to have enough money saved after your retirement such that you and your heirs can receive $100,000 per year in perpetuity. How much would you need to have saved at the time of your retirement in order to achieve this goal? (Assume that the perpetuity payments start one year after the date of your retirement. The annual interest rate is 12.5 percent.)
Answer:
At the time of retirement, the amount that needs to be saved for this perpetuity should be $800000
Explanation:
A perpetuity is a series of constant cash flows that occur after equal intervals of time for an indefinite time period. Thus, it is a series of perpetual cash flows. To calculate the amount that need to be saved at the time of retirement to receive a perpetuity of $100000 per year starting from one year after the retirement, we need to calculate the present value of the perpetuity. The formula for the present value of the perpetuity is,
Present value of perpetuity = CF / r
Where,
CF is cash flow or constant payment by perpetuityr is the required rate or return or the interest ratePresent value of perpetuity = 100000 / 0.125
Present value of perpetuity = $800000
Holding other factors constant, if bad weather destroys the annual crop for carrots, it causes the supply curve for carrots to
Options:
a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise
b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall
c. Stay the same
d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.
Answer:
a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise
Explanation:
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.

With reference to the job characteristics model, which of the following defines task identity?a. the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.b. the degree to which work activities generate direct and clear information about performance.c. the degree to which a job provides the worker freedom in scheduling and procedured. the degree to which a job has an impact on the lives or work of other peopleE) the degree to which a job requires a variety of different activities
Answer:
a. The degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work
Explanation:
According to job characteristics model, what motivates an employee to be productive is the task he or she is asked to perform. Ideally, when a task is somewhat challenging, such would motivate the worker to exert his or her energy hence perform well on the task whereas a non challenging task wears down an employee's performance.
The model states that there are five core job characteristics that would show how a job is likely to affect the behaviors and attitude of employees. They are task identity, task variety, feedback, autonomy and task significance.
Therefore, according to the model, task identity is the degree to which a job requires completion of a whole and identifiable piece of work.

If the marginal propensity to consume is 0.30 , what is the multiplier, assuming there are no taxes or imports
Answer:
Multiplier or k = 1.428571429 rounded off to 1.43
Explanation:
A change in consumer income leading to an increased consumer spending based on the Marginal propensity to consume or MPC can have a much larger effect in the economy due to the multiplier. A multiplier is the is the amount of new income that is generated form an addition of extra income.
The marginal propensity to consume or MPC is the percentage of the additional income that will be used for consumption spending. The formula to calculate the multiplier, also denoted as k, is:
k = 1 / (1 - MPC)
k = 1 / (1 - 0.3)
k = 1.428571429 rounded off to 1.43

In fund A, $100,000 accumulates at an annual nominal rate of interest j compounded semiannually to $130,666.52 in 4 years. In fund B, $100,000 accumulates at an annual nominal rate of discount k compounded quarterly to $154,531.82 in 5 years. In fund C, $100,000 accumulates at an annual effective rate of interest j in year one and an annual effective rate of interest k in year 2. What is the balance in fund C at the end of year 2?
Answer:
at the end of year 2, the balance of fund C = $116,639.23
Explanation:
to determine the nominal semiannual interest rate j we can use the future value formula:
$130,666.52 = $100,000 x (1 + j)⁸
(1 + j)⁸ = $130,666.52 / $100,000 = 1.3066652
⁸√(1 + j)⁸ = ⁸√1.3066652
1 + j = 1.034000004
j = 0.034000004
effective annual interest j = (1 + 0.034000004)² - 1 = 0.069156 = 6.9156%
to determine the nominal quarterly interest rate k we can use the future value formula:
$154,531.82 = $100,000 x (1 + k)²⁰
(1 + k)²⁰ = $154,531.82 / $100,000 = 1.5453182
²⁰√(1 + k)²⁰ = ²⁰√1.5453182
1 + k = 1.022
k = 0.022
effective annual interest k = (1 + 0.022)⁴ - 1 = 0.090946828 = 9.094682805%
at the end of year 1, the balance of fund C = $100,000 x (1 + 6.9156%) = $106,915.60
at the end of year 2, the balance of fund C = $106,915.60 x (1 + 9.094682805%) = $116,639.23
