A company that manufactures smartphones developed a new battery that has a longer life span than that of atraditional battery. F

rom the date of purchase of a smartphone, the distribution of the life span of the new batteryis approximately normal with mean 30 months and standard deviation 8 months. For the price of $50, thecompany offers a two-year warranty on the new battery for customers who purchase a smartphone. The warrantyguarantees that the smartphone will be replaced at no cost to the customer if the battery no longer works within24 months from the date of purchase.(a) In how many months from the date of purchase is it expected that 25 percent of the batteries will no longerwork? Justify your answer.(b) Suppose one customer who purchases the warranty is selected at random. What is the probability that thecustomer selected will require a replacement within 24 months from the date of purchase because the batteryno longer works?(c) The company has a gain of $50 for each customer who purchases a warranty but does not requirea replacement. The company has a loss (negative gain) of $150 for each customer who purchases a warrantyand does require a replacement.

Answer:

1) at 24.64 months 25% of the cellphones battery will fail

2) there is a 22.66% chance it will use the warranty

3) the expected return is 16.01 dollar of gain per warranty

Explanation:

at 25% we have to look into the normal distirbution table for the Z value that acumulates that

we find out is -0.67

now we solve for X value:

\frac{X - 30}{8} = -0.67\\\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = P_z

X = 24.64

we solve for the provability when X = 24

we convert into a z value and look for the value inthe table

(24 - 30) / 8 = -0.75

probability = 0.226627352 = 22.66%

expected return

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\not use&50&0.7734&38.67\\use&-100&0.2266&-22.66\\&&&\\Total&&1&16.01\\\end{array}\right]

8. Hayward Industries manufactures dining chairs and tables. The following information is available: Dining ChairsTablesTotal Co
Contact [7]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Dining Chairs - Tables - Total cost

Machine setups: 200 - 600 - $48,000

Inspections: 250 - 470 - $72,000

Labor hours: 2,600 - 2,400

A) A single overhead rate:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (48,000 + 72,000) / (2,600 + 2,400)= $24 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on direct labor hours:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Dining Chairs:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,600= $62,400

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,400= $57,600

B) We have to calculate an overhead rate for each activity cost pool.

<u>Overhead rate:</u>

Machine setups:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 48,000/800= $60 per machine hour set up

Inspections:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 72,000/ 720= $100 per inspection

Based on the overhead rate, we can allocate overhead to each product.

Dining chairs:

Allocated MOH= 60* 200 + 100*250= $37,000

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 60*600 + 100*470= $83,000

C) We can conclude that activity cost allocation is more accurate than using a single rate plant-wide. We can allocate costs more efficiently.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A gift inter vivos.

Explanation:

A gift inter-vivos refers to the transfer of a property from one party to another while the donor is alive. This transfer must be celebrated through a written agreement providing the beneficiary absolute ownership of the property. In such a case, the donor cannot request the property back and gives up any right over it.

The beneficiary must accept the gift for the transfer to be complete and if the property has value, the beneficiary will accept it as well.

<em>The issue between Tina and Becca relies on not having signed any document for the transfer of the diamond ring but they are involved in an inter-vivos gift.</em>
