Answer:

To calculate the predetermine overhead rate

Explanation:

As we know that

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours or estimated machine hours)

Plus if we talk about the manufacturing overhead, it is an indirect cost which could not be easy to trace the cost to a specific job or task

And the fixed cost would remain unchanged although the number of production units changes and the average cost per unit also changes due to changes in the production level

These reasons could be the greatest challenge.

<h3><u>What is Marginal Productivity?</u></h3>

The additional output, return, or profit generated per unit as a result of benefits from production inputs is referred to as marginal productivity or marginal product.
Raw materials and labor are examples of inputs. According to the rule of decreasing marginal returns, the marginal productivity will normally decrease as production rises when a production element is improved.
This indicates that for every extra unit of output produced, the cost advantage often decreases.
Diminishing marginal productivity is often recognized in its most straightforward form when a single input variable exhibits a drop in input cost.
For instance, a reduction in labor expenses during the car-manufacturing process would result in slight increases in profitability per vehicle.

Formula for Marginal Productivity = (Qn – Qn-1) / (Ln – Ln-1)

The total product value is divided by the difference in labor to determine the marginal product of labor.

The owner of an orange grove must decide when to pick one variety of oranges. She can sell them for $27 a bushel if she sells th

uysha [10]

Answer:

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return

Explanation:

We assume that the return of the owner is y ($)

Assume that the number of weeks the oranges should be picked to have maximum return is x (weeks). (x≥0)

If collect now, the price for each bushel is $27

As the price per bushel decrease by $1.50 per bushel each week

=> After x weeks, the price of a bushel decrease: 1.5x ($)

=> The price of 1 bushel after x weeks is: 27 - 1.5x ($)

If collect now, each tree can yield 7 bushels

As the yield increases by half a bushel per week for the next 5 weeks

=> After x weeks with x ≤ 5, each trees would yields: 7 + 0.5x (bushels)

The return = The price of each bushes × The quantity of bushels

=> $y = (27-1.5x)(7+0.5x)$

⇔ $y= 27 (7 +0.5x) - 1.5x(7+0.5x) = 189 + 13.5x - 10.5x - 0.75x^{2}$

⇔ $y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$

We have: if the equation has the form of $y =ax^{2} +bx +c$ with a≠0, its maximum value is: $max y = c - \frac{b^{2} }{4a}$

In the equation $y = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$ , we have: a = -0.75; b = 3; c = 189

=> $max y = c -\frac{b^{2} }{4a} = 189 - \frac{3^{2} }{4.(-0.75)} = 189 - \frac{9}{-3} = 189 - (-3) = 189+3 = 192$

To look for the number of weeks, we should find x (0≤x≤5) with which y = 192

$192 = -0.75x^{2} +3x +189$

⇔ $-0.75x^{2} + 3x + 189 - 192 = 0$

⇔ $-0.75 x^{2} + 3x - 3 =0$

⇔ $-0.75x^{2} + 4*0.75x - 0.75*4 =0$

⇔ $x^{2} -4x + 4 = 0$

⇔ $(x-2)^{2} = 0$

⇔ x = 2

The oranges should be picked in 2 weeks for maximum return

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Calculate the efficiency variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be calculated as:

= Standard Hours - Actual Hours) × Standard rate

= (15000/225 × 5.25 - 15000/250 × 5) × 38

= (350 - 300) × 38

= 50 × 38

= 1900 Favourable

2) Calculate the rate variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be:

= Standard rate- Actual rate) × Actual Hour

= (38-40) × (15000/250 × 5)

= -2 × 300

= -600 Unfavourable

3) Calculate the flexible-budget spending variance for variable overhead setup costs.

This will be the difference between the standard cost and the actual cost. This will be:

= (15000/225×5.25 ×38) - (15000/250×5 ×40)

= 13300 - 12000

= 1300 Favourable

4) Calculate the spending variance for fixed setup overhead costs.

what formular did you use.

This will be:

= Standard Cost - Actual Cost

= 9975-12000

= -2025 Unfavorable

This question is missing the options given below:

A. 11%

B.13%

C. 15%

D. 17%

E. 20%

The correct answer is option B,the bond current yield is 13%

Explanation:

Bonds Current Yield = Year one cash flow / Current Price x 100 = 9 / 71.375 x 100 = 12.60% or approximately 13%

Note that 71 3/8 is the same as 71.375% as 3/8 gives 0.375 and when added to 71% gives 71.375%

The year cash flow is calculated as :9% of bond par value($100)=$9
