Overhead rate is calculated by dividing the overhead cost by the direct cost over a similar period of measurement. In our case, the basis is per hour. The overhead cost is the rough estimate of the cost made through the proper reference to the historical data for old establishments and projections for the new ones. This can be expressed as,
overhead rate = (overhead cost / direct cost) x 100%
Substituting the known values,
overhead rate = ($75 / $50) x 100%
overhead rate = 150%
<em>ANSWER: overhead rate = 150% </em>
Answer: 189400
Explanation:
The dollar amount of sales that must be made to produce the target income would be:
= (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin ratio
= (80000 + 14700) / 50%
= 94700 / 50%
= 94700 / 0.5
= 189,400
Answer:
3 years after the right of return has expired
Explanation:
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAPs) specify the scenario wherein revenue is to be recognized.
As per the accrual principle, revenue is to be recognized when earned and not when actual cash is received against it.
In the given case, the company allows it's customers to return the products sold within a period of three years. Hereby, the company must make a provision for contingency against future returns.
Here, the business should be able to estimate the number of vacuums that would be returned. Here, the company is unable to do so owing to no past record or history.
Hence, the company may have to wait till maximum period of 3 years i.e the time when products can no longer be returned, for recognizing revenue associated with the sales.
