Answer:

He hires 8 workers

Explanation:

The total cost is $1600 for 5,000 chickens minus the fixed cost of  $800, which equals $800. The total cost is total of fixed cost and variable cost as in absence of production the total variable cost is zero so from this we can conclude that total fixed cost is zero.

Then divide the total variable cost ($800) buy what Ralph pays his workers ($100), which comes to 8.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Giving the following information:

Direct labor-hours= 79,000 labor-hours.

The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $11.90 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,469,400.

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

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

6.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 20 years

PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000

PMT = $0

FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years

= $75,000 × 8.6487

= $648,652.50

The following formula should be applied

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%

Radar Company sells bikes for $490 each. The company currently sells 4,300 bikes per year and could make as many as 4,620 bikes
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Radar's additional income for accepting the order is calculated as follows:

Sales - 320 x $460 = $147,200

less Cost of Sales = 320 x $180 + $48,000 = $105,600

Additional Income = $41,600

Explanation:

The additional income of $41,600 is $147,200 - $105,600, which is the result of deducting cost of sales from Sales.

The cost of sales includes the variable cost per bike, including the incremental fixed costs ($48,000) to make this order.

To make a decision whether to accept an order or not, the company needs to consider all variable costs, including the incremental fixed costs.  The resulting additional income is what is available to offset the fixed costs.
