Answer:
C.$46,730
Explanation:
Nadal Corporation manufactures custom molds for use in the extrusion industry. Based on the data available we first see the formula to calculate the total manufacturing cost of the job 532.
In general, sum of all the cost directly or indirectly included in the manufacturing cost. Therefore the formula is as below
Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct Labor Cost + Direct Materials Cost + Manufacturing Overhead Cost.
Direct labor cost $36,800
Direct materials used $5,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate based on machine hours $17 which is = $17 x 290 hours
Manufacturing cots= 4930$
Total Manufacturing Cost = 36800 + 5000 + 4930
Total Manufacturing Cost = 46,730$
Answer:
There is no short answer.
Explanation:
We are given an article that presents a study that suggests adults who played varsity sports in high school have a 20% higher chance of earning a bachelor's degree in college than the ones who did not play during high school.
The outcome variable in this example, which is also the same as a dependent variable, is the chance of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree, which depends on whether that person played varsity sports during their high school years or not.
The treatment variable in this example, which is also the same as an independent variable, is whether the subject played varsity sports in high school or not which affects their chances of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree.
Counterfactual means thinking about an event in a way that did not actually happen, counter to the facts and it helps people feel more in control which in turn provides a psychological soothing effect. Counterfactual scenario in the given example for high school athletes would be not being able to earn a bachelor's degree despite having played sports in high school.
Thinking about the counterfactual scenario is important because it helps people get a sense of power and a feeling of control which is a primal instinct the brain needs to feel safe.
