Answer:

<em>In theory, both are riskless but in practicality they aren't completely risk free.</em>

Explanation:

<em>In investment theory</em>, the investment in government bonds is <em>riskless </em>, irrespective of the investment maturity period because they are backed by the government.

However, <em>in practicality</em> every investment involves risk whether it's a short term or long term. However, a short term investment like the one specified in <em>statement 2</em> involves lower time frame and thereby lower volatility, hence it implies <em>lower risk</em>. The investment specified in <em>statement 1</em> is of longer term and hence can involve higher volatility, hence it implies <em>higher risk.</em>

<em><u>Note</u></em><em>- All the governments are prone to risk practically</em> because they are also part of the global financial and economic system and hence, they have to manage their budget balances prudently. Every investment thereby involves <em>risk</em>, it's just the <em>financial backing</em> of the <em>government financial</em> <em>instruments</em> which makes them less risky as compared to the other financial instruments.

mr_godi [17]

Complete Question:

S4-2 (similar to) Question Help. Sally's Furniture uses departmental overhead rates​ (rather than a plantwide overhead​ rate) to allocate its manufacturing overhead to jobs. The​ company's two production departments have the following departmental overhead​ rates: Cutting​ Department: $8 per machine hour Finishing​ Department: $14 per direct labor hour Job 112112 used the following direct labor hours and machine hours in the two manufacturing​ departments:

Resources used for Job 112112​

                                Cutting        Finishing

Direct Labor Hours      6               10

Machine Hours            6                7

Requirements:

1. How much manufacturing overhead should be allocated to Job 112112​?

2. Assume that direct labor is paid at a rate of $23 per hour and Job 112112 used $2,400 of direct materials. What was the total manufacturing cost of Job 112112​? 1. How much manufacturing overhead should be allocated to Job 112112​? Calculate the total manufacturing overhead for the job by using a formula for each​ department's overhead amount and then adding both amounts together. First determine the formula and overhead for the Cutting Department.

Answer:

Sally's Furniture

1. Manufacturing overhead allocated to Job 112112:

Cutting department = Machine hour rate x machine hours

= $8 x 6 = $48

Finishing department = Direct labor hour  rate x direct labor hours

= $14 x 10 = $140

Total manufacturing overhead = $188 ($48 + 140)

2. Total manufacturing cost of Job 112112:

Direct materials = $2,400

Direct labor        =      368 (16 x $23)

Overhead          =       188

Total cost           = $2,956

Explanation:

a) Data:

Departmental overhead​ rates:

Cutting​ Department: $8 per machine hour

Finishing​ Department: $14 per direct labor hour

b) Job Costing is a costing method that allocates the costs of resources for manufacturing goods and services according to the costs consumed by each job.  Each job becomes a cost center for accumulating costs instead of the process involved in the production.  The system helps management to keep track of the costs of each job.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

the direct material quantity variance is $5,000 favorable

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material quantity variance is shown below:

Direct material quantity variance is

= (Actual quantity - standard quantity) × standard price

= (9,200 pounds - 5,100 units × 2 pounds) × $5 per pound

= (9,200 pounds - 10,200 pounds) × $5 per pound

= $5,000 favorable

hence, the direct material quantity variance is $5,000 favorable
