Giving the following information:

Predetermined overhead rate of $8.00 per machine-hour

Actual machine-hours worked= 54,000 hours

<u>To calculate the allocated overhead, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Scenario: Fiscal Policy Consider the economy of Arcadia. Its households spend 75% of increases in their income. There are no tax
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

less than the government spending multiplier

Explanation:

Given :

Percentage spends  by a households for the increase in the income = 75%

So the mpc = 0.75

Potential output = 600 billion arcs

The government multiplier is = $\frac{1}{1-0.75}$

                                                $=\frac{1}{0.25}$

                                                = 4

The tax multiplier is = $\frac{c}{1-c}$

                                 $=\frac{0.75}{0.25}$

                                 = 3

Thus we see that the tax multiplier is less than the government spending multiplier.

Denver Mart is considering a project with a life of 5 years and an initial cost of $136,000. The discount rate is 11 percent. Th
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Denver Mart

The net present value of this project given the sales forecasts is:

= $98,400.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Project's estimated life = 5 years

Initial project cost = $136,000

Discount rate = 11%

Initial estimated sales = 2,200 at $26

Revenue in years 1, 2, and 3 each = 2,200 * $26 = $57,200

Sales forecast of Year 4 and 5 revised to 1,750 units

Probability of 1,000 * 50% = 500

Probability of 2,500 * 50% 1,250

Total sales forecast = 1,750 units

Revenue in years 4 and 5 each =  1,750 * $26 = $45,500

Present value of revenue:

Year 1, 2, and 3 = $57,200 * Annuity factor

= $57,200 * 3.102 = $177,434.40

Year 4, PV = $45,500 * 0.659 = $29,984.50

Year 5, PV = $45,500 * 0.593 = $26,9815

Year 1 to 5 added =   $234,400.40

Present value of revenue = $234,400.40

Present value of costs =        136,000.00

Net present value =              $98,400.40

kogti [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Yellow dog contracts.

Explanation:

Yellow dog contracts are those provided by employers in which they and the new hires agree in employees not engaging any activity related to unions while they are under the company's payroll. Yellow dog contracts attempt to avoid the formation of labor unions so the organizations only will have the power in deciding employee benefits, compensations, and working conditions.  

These types of contracts are considered illegal after the Norris-LaGuardia Act of 1932 was enacted.
