Answer:
The computation is shown below:
Explanation:
a. The company overhead rate based on direct labor is
= Total Overheads ÷ Direct Labor Hours
= $1,048,000 ÷ 40,000
= $26.2 per hour
b) Overheads Rate using Activity Based Costing is
= Cost ÷ Activity level
For Order Processing, it is
= $226,800 ÷ 14,000 orders
= $16.2 per order
For setups, it is
= $157850 ÷ 4,100 setup
= $38.5 per setup
For Milling, it is
= $395,850 ÷ 20,300 machine hours
= $19.5 per machine hour
For Shipping
= $267,500 ÷ 25,000
= $10.7 per shipment

Answer: $678,220
Explanation:
Given that,
Purchase Discounts = $ 11,000
Freight-in = $15,300
Purchases = $689,020
Beginning Inventory = $55,000
Ending Inventory = $45,600
Purchase Returns and Allowances = $15,100
Cost of goods purchased:
= Purchases + Freight in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances
= $689,020 + $15,300 - $ 11,000 - $15,100
= $678,220
Answer:
Option B,
The higher the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm, THE HIGHER THE PROBABILITY THAT THE FIRM WILL ENCOUNTER FINANCIAL DISTRESS.
Explanation:
The degree of financial leverage (DFL) is a leverage ratio that measures the sensitivity of a company's earnings per share to fluctuations in it's operating income, as a result of changes in its capital structure.
This ratio indicates that the higher the degree of financial leverage, the more volatile earnings will be.
The use of financial leverage varies greatly by industry and by the business sector. There are many industry sectors in which companies operate with a high degree of financial leverage (examples are retail stores, grocery store, banking institutions, airlines...). Unfortunately, the excessive use of financial leverage by many companies in this sector has played a major role in forcing a lot of them to file for bankruptcy.
Therefore, if the degree of financial leverage employed by a firm is high, then the probability that the firm will encounter financial distress will also be high.

Answer: C
Explanation: C. Holds reserve balances for depository institutions; The Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve operates with a sizable balance sheet that includes a large number of distinct assets and liabilities. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet contains a great deal of information about the scale and scope of its operations. For decades, market participants have closely studied the evolution of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet to understand more clearly important details concerning the implementation of monetary policy. Over recent years, the development and implementation of a number of new lending facilities to address the financial crisis have both increased complexity of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and has led to increased public interest in it.
Each week, the Federal Reserve publishes its balance sheet, typically on Thursday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. The balance sheet is included in the Federal Reserve's H.4.1 statistical release, "Factors Affecting Reserve Balances of Depository Institutions and Condition Statement of Federal Reserve Banks," available on this website. The various tables in the statistical release are described below, an explanation of the important elements in each table is given, and a link to each table in the current release is provided. The Federal Reserve System is composed of several layers. It is governed by the presidentially appointed board of governors or Federal Reserve Board (FRB). Twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, located in cities throughout the nation, regulate and oversee privately owned commercial banks.[15][16][17] Nationally chartered commercial banks are required to hold stock in, and can elect some of the board members of, the Federal Reserve Bank of their region. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) sets monetary policy. It consists of all seven members of the board of governors and the twelve regional Federal Reserve Bank presidents, though only five bank presidents vote at a time (the president of the New York Fed and four others who rotate through one-year voting terms). There are also various advisory councils. Thus, the Federal Reserve System has both public and private components.
