Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We assume that

X = No. of children

Y  = Standard type

Z = Executive type

So,

5x + 4y + 7z = 185.........(1)

3x + 2y + 5z = 115.........(2)

2x + 2y + 4z = 94

x + y + 2z = 47.........(3)

Equation (2) multiply by 2

6x + 4y + 10z = 230

From equation (1) to (2)

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

6x + 4y + 10z = 230

-x + 0 - 3z = -45

x + 3z = 45.......(4)

Equation (3) multiply by 4

4x + 4y + 8z = 188

From equation (1) to (3)

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

4x + 4y + 8z = 188

x + 0 - z = -3

- x + z = 3……(5)

From equation (5) to (4)

x + 3z = 45

-x + z = 3

4z = 48

Executive type = Z = 48 ÷ 4 = 12

Z = 12 in equation (5)

-x + 12 = 3

x = 9 (children type)

x=9, z=12 in equation 1

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

5 × 9 + 4 × y + 7 × 12=185

45 + 4 × y + 84 = 185

4y = 56 ÷ 4

Y= 14(Standard type)

Emco Company uses direct labor cost as a basis for computing its predetermined overhead rate. In computing the predetermined ove
Andru [333]

Answer:

B. overstate the predetermined overhead rate.

Explanation:

As we know

The Predetermined overhead rate would be equal to

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

In the given question, the direct labor cost is used for computing the predetermined overhead rate which is already wrong.

To find out the predetermined overhead rate, we always use the indirect cost instead of direct cost

This error could overstate the predetermined overhead rate as it would increase the indirect labor due to which overhead is also increased. So, automatically the rate would also be increased.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Expected rate of return on stock is 14.86%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,

rE = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
  • rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on

rE = 0.21 * 0.2  +  0.72 * 0.15  +  0.07 * -0.02

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%

Oscar owns a building that is destroyed in a hurricane. His adjusted basis in the building before the hurricane is $130,000. His
Alinara [238K]

Answer: $132,000

Explanation:

Oscar's new basis on the building will be the basis of the old building plus any additional investment he added.

This is the because there is no gain on the $140,000 he received because it was an Involuntary Conversion amount and he reinvested it into another building within a period of 2 years.

As there is no gain, the building will retain it's original basis but will add any amount outside the involuntary replacement cost of the building.

The Additional basis will be,

= Cost of building - Insurance

= 142,000 - 140,000

= $2,000

The Basis for the new building is,

= 130,000 + 2,000

= $132,000
