The Interstate Commerce Act, which applied the "Commerce Clause" of the Constitution—which gave Congress the authority "to Regulate Commerce with Foreign Nations, and among the several States"—to regulating railroad rates—was approved by the Senate and the House on February 4, 1887.

<h3>What did the Interstate Commerce Act intend to achieve?</h3>

An American federal statute known as the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 was created to control the railroad sector, notably its monopolistic tactics. Although the Act mandated that railroad rates be "reasonable and just," it did not grant the government the authority to set particular prices. legislation passed by Congress that created the Interstate Commerce Commission, required railroads to publish minimum rates, and outlawed rebates and pools. Railroads quickly mastered the use of the Act for their own purposes, but also provided the government with a crucial tool for controlling large corporations.

1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate for the year, assuming that the company assigns overhead based on 125,000 budgeted d
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a. $17.44 per hour

b. $43,600 ; $104,640

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Single plantwide overhead rate equals to

= Total Overhead Amount ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor Hours

where,

Total overhead amount is

= $625,000 + $900,000 + $105,000 + $175,000 + $300,000 + $75,000

= $2,180,000

And, the budgeted direct labor hours is 125,000

So, the overhead rate is

= $2,180,000 ÷ 125,000

= $17.44 per hour

2. Now the overhead cost is

For Deluxe model

= 2,500 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $43,600

For basic model

= 6,000 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $104,640

Peter Lynchpin wants to sell you an investment contract that pays equal $22,500 amounts at the end of each of the next 20 years.
Effectus [21]

Answer:

The amount to be paid for the contract today = $220,908.32

Explanation:

<em>The amount to be paid for the contract today will be equal to the present value of the annuity of $22,500 payable for 20 years discounted at a rate of 8% per annum.</em>

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 22,500, r- rate of return - 8%, n -no of years 20 years

PV = 22,500 ×( 1-(1.08)^(-20) )/ 0.08

PV = 22,500 ×9.8181

PV = $220,908.32

The amount to be paid for the contract today = $220,908.32

Johnston Company has budgeted production of 11,600 units and sales of 14,400 units in February. Each unit requires 15 minutes of
kap26 [50]

Answer:

$43,500

Explanation:

Direct labor costs refer to the salaries that are paid to the employees that perform a job that is related to the production of a good. In this case, it would be the wages of the employees that work in the production of the units budgeted.

To calculate the total cost, first you have to calculate the amount of hours require to produce 11,600 units:

      1 unit        →  15 minutes

11,600 units    →          x

x=(11,600*15)/1= 174,000 minutes

1 hour →   60 minutes

    x    ←    174,000 minutes

x=(1*174,000)/60= 2,900 hours

Now, you can calculate  the total budgeted direct labor costs by multiplying the labor rate per hour for the number of hours needed to manufacture the units budgeted:

$15*2,900= $43,500

According to this, the answer is that the total budgeted direct labor costs for February is $43,500.

Most people who start small businesses are aware of the high failure rate and the reasons for it. Why, then, do some take no ste
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

When someone starts their own business, they do it because they firmly believe that they will succeed. Most of the time they are not thinking about what will happen if things do not work as planned. I believe that people that are afraid and believe that the possibility of failure is large, will never start their own business. Entrepreneurship is something that not everyone can do, and it takes a lot of guts to do it.
