Answer: 2 years

Explanation:

The payback period is the amount of time that is needed for the required cash inflow of a project to offset the initial cash outflow that the business offsets. The payback period is when the initial outlay of an investment is recovered. There are two different methods used to calculate payback period. We have the average method and the subtraction method.

In the above question, the payback period is solved as follows:

Labour cost decreases by 10% for each unit.

Therefore,

= $10 × 10%

= $10 × 0.1

= $1 per unit.

In order to recover $2000, the business needs to sell the following;

= 2000/1

= 2000units.

If Eric sells 1000 units per year of Emu, it will take:

2000/1000= 2years

In conclusion, the payback period of the investment is 2 years.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

$14,000 under applied

Explanation:

Given that

Material production = $203,000

Application rate = 150%

The computation of amount of overhead is shown below:-

Overhead = Material production × Application rate

= $203,000 - ($126,000 × 1.5)

= $203,000 - $189,000

= $14,000 under applied

Therefore, for computing the overhead we simply multiply the material production with application rate percentage.

Which is the last step in making a personal budget?
OlgaM077 [116]
The last step in making a personal budget is to reduce expenses in flexible categories. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B". Under normal circumstances, a person cannot make the adding up all sources of income as the last step. Then the expenses will not get added. The flexible expenses are expenses that can always be reduce or are not important expenses. The basis of making the budget is to reduce those unnecessary expenses. So the last step should always be to find ways to reduce the flexible or unwanted expenses.
