Answer:

Price Floor led Excess Supply can be solved by : Preserving goods Buffer Stock ; or processing goods to increase their shelf life (in case of perishable goods like Milk)

Explanation:

Unregulated markets are at equilibrium where : market demand , market supply are equal ; and downward sloping demand curve , upward sloping supply curve intersect.

Price Floor is minimum mandated price set by government, below which a good can't be sold in the market. It is usually set above equilibrium price, to protect interest of sellers. Example : Minimum Support Price as minimum agricultural  goods price to protect interest of farmers, Given Milk Price floor case.

Price Floor creates artificially higher prices ; so increases supply, decreases supply & hence creates Excess Supply. Government can solve this excess supply by preserving stock supply for contingent times , eg -  maintaining buffer stock. If the good is of perishable nature, as given milk case : it should be processed further to increase its shelf life, eg - cheese, such that the stock supply can be released at a slower pace.

algol [13]

Answer:

option (b) $69,768

Explanation:

Data provided in question:

Estimated manufacturing overhead = $73,440

Estimated machine-hours = 1,800

Actual manufacturing overhead = $68,700

Actual machine-hours = 1,710

now,

The predetermined overhead rate = \frac{\textup{Estimated manufacturing overhead}}{\textup{Estimated machine-hours}}

or

The predetermined overhead rate = \frac{\textup{73,440}}{\textup{1,800}}

or

The predetermined overhead rate = $40.8 per hour

Therefore,

The applied manufacturing overhead for the year

=  Actual machine-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 1,710 × $40.8

= $69,768

Hence,

the correct answer is option (b) $69,768
