Personally, I would choose to save that money. The reason why is you never know - maybe something bad is going to happen and you will need that extra cash. So instead of splurging it on material things, it's better to save it for a rainy day, in my opinion. Investing is not safe, given that you may lose a lot more than you invest.
Answer:
- This type of fraud is check tampering
- It amounts to 20.1% of fraud cases in small businesses, and 8.4% of fraud in large businesses
- This type of fraud can be prevented by rotating employees that handle check issuance to vendors, review of budget versus actual expenditure, monitoring of audit trail to see if beneficiary was changed, daily statement download for reconciliation, and restriction of functions for example a employee that issues checks should not also reconcile bank statement.

Various internal control measures can be taken to prevent this and they are listed above
Answer: $2,000 favorable
Explanation:
Total variable overhead variance = Budgeted variable overhead - Actual total variable overhead
Budgeted variable overhead = Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output * Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour
= 30,000 * 2.50
= $75,000
Total variable overhead variance = 75,000 - 73,000
= $2,000 favorable
Favorable because the actual amount was less than the budgeted one.
Although one would repair at the most time of 76 minutes, the other is at most 77.1 minutes. I would pick the second one because they may take longer by 1.1 minutes at most, they also included seconds, which seems more like an honest bid time.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Factory 1
Estimated factory overhead= $18,500,000
Estimated machine hours for year 1,250,000
T<u>o calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 18,500,000/1,250,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.8 per machine hour
