Answer:
b) Considered to be a direct variable cost
Explanation:
Direct costs are expenditures that can be traced to a specific product, project, or service. It is a cost component that arises due to the production of a particular good or service as opposed to a general expense. Direct costs contrast indirect cost that covers a variety of items, such as administration.
Variable costs are the expenses that change with production volume. An increase in production leads to an increase in variable costs. Variable costs, therefore, have a direct relationship with the output level.
Belts, in this case, are a direct variable cost because
- The belt expense is traceable directly to the production of cars. It is a cost incurred only when a car is being produced.
- The cost varies with the number of cars produced. The expenses will change with changes in the production of cars.
Answer:
Overhead rate= 1.2
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The Work in Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,000 at the end of an accounting period.
Direct material= $500, & $300
Direct labor= $400 & $600
Manufacturing overhead =?
Work in process= direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead
3000= 800 + 1000 + MOH
3000-800-1000= MOH
1200= MOH
Overhead rate= moh/direct labor
Overhead rate= 1200/1000= 1.2
Answer:
Full question: <em>On their birthdays, employees at a large company are permitted to take a 60-minute lunch break instead of the usual 30 minutes. Data were obtained from 10 randomly selected company employees on the amount of time that each actually took for lunch on his or her birthday. The company wishes to investigate whether these data provide convincing evidence that the mean time is greater than 60 minutes. Of the following, which information would NOT be expected to be a part of the process of correctly conducting a hypothesis test to investigate the question, at the 0.05 level of significance?</em>
<em>Answe</em><em>r: Since that the p-value is greater than 0.05, rejecting the null hypothesis and concluding that the mean time was not greater than 60 minutes. </em>
Explanation:
<em>From the given question let us recall the following statements:</em>
<em>Employees at a large company are permitted to take a 60-minute Lunch break instead of the 30 minutes.</em>
<em>Data was gotten from = 10 randomly selected company employees on the amount of time that each actually took for lunch on his or her birthday</em>
<em>Given that the p-value is greater than 0.05, rejecting the null hypothesis and concluding that the mean time was not greater than 60 minutes.</em>
<em>The company tries to investigate the data to know that the mean is greater than 60 minutes</em>
<em>the next step is to find the process of correctly conducting a hypothesis test to investigate the question, at the 0.05 level of significance</em>
<em>Therefore,</em>
<em>Since that the p-value is greater than 0.05, rejecting the null hypothesis and concluding that the mean time was not greater than 60 minutes. </em>
<em>Or</em>
<em>The P-value> 0.05</em>
<em>The mean time is not greater than 60 minutes</em>
The amount of money needed now to begin the perpetual payments is
P = A/I =15,000÷0.05=300,000
The amount that would need to have been deposited 25 years ago is
P=A÷(1+r)^t
P=300,000÷(1+0.05)^(25)
P=88,590.83
