Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Predetermined overhead rate
= Total fixed overhead cost for the year / Budgeted standard direct labor hour
Predetermined overhead rate = $530,400 / 68,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= $7.8 per direct labor hour
2. i. Fixed overhead budget variance
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $521,000 - $530,400
= $9,400 favourable
ii Fixed overhead volume variance
= Budgeter fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $530,400 - (66,000 × $7.8)
= $530,000 - $514,800
= $15,200 unfavorable
Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.
Explanation:
Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.
Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.
Answer:
Total cost= $60,800
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For 4,000 units:
Unitary variable cost= $8
Unitary fixed cost= $5
<u>First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost:</u>
Total fixed cost= 5*4,000= $20,000
<u>Now, we can determine the total cost for 5,100 units:</u>
Total cost= 5,100*8 + 20,000
Total cost= $60,800
This most likely depicts an ethical problem because children may be deceived about what Barbie can do.
As some of these ads mix cartoon-type animation and “real” shots of the dolls, children may think that their Barbies can do specific types of actions based from the advertisement. This would also most likely lead to broken Barbies because children may copy the things that they saw in the ads. This is somewhat a form of false advertising.
