<u>Complete Question:</u>

Change the estimated total amount of the allocation base back to 65,000 machine-hours, so that the data area of you worksheet looks exactly the same as in Requirement 2. Now change the actual manufacturing overhead cost from $395,700 to $387,000. The data area of your worksheet should now look like this:

  1. Allocation base is Machine-hours
  2. Estimated manufacturing overhead cost         $383,500  
  3. Estimated total amount of the allocation base  65,000  machine-hours
  4. Actual manufacturing overhead cost                  $387,000
  5. Actual total amount of the allocation base  63,000  machine-hours  

<u>Requirement:</u>

Why is the amount of underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead different from Requirement 2 above?

A. The predetermined overhead rate changed.

B. The change in the actual manufacturing overhead cost directly resulted in a comparable change in the amount of underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead.

C. The change in the estimated total amount of the allocation base affected the amount of manufacturing overhead applied.

Answer:

Option B. The change in the actual manufacturing overhead cost directly resulted in a comparable change in the amount of underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead.

Option C. The change in the estimated total amount of the allocation base affected the amount of manufacturing overhead applied.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because predetermined Overhead Absorption Rate (OAR) never changes.

Option B is correct. Due to budgeted ($383,500) and actual Manufacturing overhead cost ($387,000) difference which clearly shows that the actual cost was higher than the budgeted manufacturing cost. This cost difference factor was one of the main reason of underapplied overhead cost. Furthermore, due to this difference the Actual Overhead Absorption Rate was higher and the Budgeted Overhead Absorption Rate that we were using for pricing and costing purpose was lower in value.

Option C. Due to the difference between budgeted (65,000 Hrs) and actual allocation Base (63,000 Hrs) which is machine hours in this case. The overhead absorbed on the basis of machine hours (63,000 Hrs) were lower than the budget set (65,000 Hrs). Allocation base is an appropriate basis which is use to assign overhead cost to each unit product, it can be units product, labor hours, machine hours, etc.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

I believe it would be a lot easier to argue organization's ethical responsibility to help employees deal with stress.

<u>Here's some ideas:</u>

<em>INTRO</em>

(make sure to include a thesis statement!!)

First, show the reader how damaging stress can be to the employee by explaining it's negative impact on the employee's wellbeing:

  • Symptoms of stress and ways that it negatively impacts employees specifically.
  • Mention how stress reduces productivity and site research about it.

Point out how common stress is within the workplace by using stats or current day examples:

  • Statistics about the huge percentage of people who report feeling stressed out from work.
  • Use the current day example of how the current pandemic has had a massive impact on the stress especially on healthcare workers.
  • Main point: <em>stress is a very common and serious problem among employees</em>.

<em>BODY</em>

Argue how organizations DO have an ethical responsibility to help employees deal with stress:

  • Point out how it's a very serious problem.
  • Argue that an organization who chooses not to help is a bad organization.
  • Show examples in history where organizations did not take good care of their employees.

To further strengthen your argument, mention how beneficial it is for the organization itself to provide resources for employees to help them manage their stress:

  • Provide statistics on the usefulness of stress-management programs within the workplaces (example: INCREASES PRODUCTION).
  • Argue how happier employees also tend to function better in the workplace because they feel supported.

<em>CONCLUSION</em>

--> Summarize your essay

  • Summarize your main points and restate your thesis statement here.

<span>This would show that Will does not have a homothetic preference for hamburgers. Such preferences are shown to not be effected by income or scale, and since Will has changed his eating preferences based upon this new source of income, such a description would not fit this good.</span>
