<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.

A simple scoring model is used to decide among three projects that we'll call A, B, and C. The total score for project A is 30,
Flauer [41]

Answer: D) Project A is better than project B for this company at this point in time.

Explanation:

Option D is the best option because we do not know that the basis for the scoring model directly translates to earnings. The scoring of Project A at 30 does not necessarily mean that it's expected to earn those amounts of revenue and therefore triple that of Project C. We do not know because the information is not complete.

What we do know is that A has the highest score out of all projects and this is why it is better to do Project A as opposed to Project B.

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Policies consistent with the goal of increasing productivity and growth in developing countries are:

1. Protecting property rights and enforcing contracts

2. Providing tax breaks and patents for firms that pursue research and development in health and sciences

Explanation:

To increase productivity and growth in developing countries, it is important that developing countries enhance the mechanisms for protecting property rights and enforcing contracts.  These are the bases for attracting more foreign direct investments.  The court system should be a system where justice is obtained and a system which can enforce the rights of individuals to own property.  Without this basic ingredient, foreign direct investments will be hard to attract.
