Answer:
$432,000 Setting up equipment ⇒ based on setup hours
$1,440,000 Other overhead ⇒ based on oven hours
product units produced setup hours oven hours
Fudge 8,000 6,400 1,600
Cookies 445,000 1,600 8,000
1) Activity rate:
- a) setup hours = total setup costs / total setup hours = $432,000 / 8,000 hours = $54 per setup hour
- b) oven hours = total other overhead costs / total oven hours = $1,440,000 / 9,600 hours = $150 per oven hour
2) total overhead assigned to fudge = (6,400 setup hours x $54 per setup hour) + (1,600 oven hours x $150 per oven hour) = $345,600 + $240,000 = $585,600
The main purpose as well as the cause of the failure of performance appraisal process is as described below-
Explanation:
Appraisal refers to the process (mostly formal) to evaluate the productivity of the manpower of an organisation. It serves for administrative as well as developmental purpose.
Performance appraisal serves three important purpose-
- Providing adequate feedback to employees based on his/her performance.
- It can help in modifying employee behaviour and thus contributing to an effective workspace environment.

Answer: $412,600
Explanation:
AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings
Increase in Assets
= 5,000,000 * 15%
= $750,000
Increase in Liabilities
Only use Accruals and Accounts Payable
= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%
= $135,000
Additional to Retained Earnings
= After tax Profit
= 9,200,000 * 4%
= $368,000
Addition to retained earnings = 368,000 * ( 1 - payout ratio)
= 368,000 * ( 1 - 45%)
= $202,400
Additional Funds Needed (AFN) = 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400
= $412,600
