Answer:
b) $12 million
Explanation:
The new Book Value of the firm at the bigining of next year is $12 million.
In the calulation of Net Pfofit, Interst on loan has already been deducted, so deducting it from the total calculation will be wrong.
hence, only dividend paid will be removed from the addition of the Book Value anf the Net profit.
Closing balance = Opening Book Value + Net Profit - Dividend Paid
Note - The Net Profit is already ne of interest on loan.
Closing balance = $10 + $5 - $3
Closing balance is $12
Answer: $45 per machine hour
Explanation:
Company uses machine hours as its overhead allocation base and there were 106,000 machine hours planned.
The overheads are $3,800,000 for indirect labor and $970,000 for factory utilities.
The rate will therefore be;
= Total Overhead / Machine hours
= (3,800,000 + 970,000) / 106,000
= $45 per machine hour
Answer:
no
Explanation:
In order to achieve optimal employment level, the ratio of productivity between employees must be equal to the ratio between their wages, e.g. an employee who is 25% more productive, should earn 25% more.
In this case, the productive ratio is 15:20 or 3:4, while the wage ratio is 8:12 or 2:3. Since the wage ratio is lower than the productivity ratio (2:3 < 3:4), the two employees are not optimally employed.
