Answer:

The answer is:

$105,000 (B)

Explanation:

The weighted average accumulated expenditure (WAAE) is the average depth that is incurred during a business year. It is a combination of the amount spent in asset construction purposes and if loans were taken, the interest rate that accumulated within that same time period.

Next, you have to know what interest capitalization is; Interest capitalization is the accumulated interest on on borrowed amount for construction assets that are for future use.

Next, we nee to know what Capitalization period is; it is the period during which interest costs are incurred on amounts spent to construct an asset in progress. Interests are capitalized during construction until the asset is ready for its intended use. For the purpose of calculation, it is represented as the period of time for which the depth will be incurred over the construction year. for example for a year starting in January 1 to December 31, if $200,000 was borrowed, the capitalization period will be represented as "12/12" meaning that the incurred debt was owed for 12 out of 12 monts, if the same amount was borrowed in May, capitalization period will be represented as "8/12"meaning that the interest was owed for 8 out of 12 months. Now, for our example, the construction year began on April 1 and ended on December 31 (8 months), hence the capitalization periods for the amount taken in April one is "8/8", for July 1 is "5/8" and October 1 is "2/8", meaning that in October the debt was incurred for 2 out of 8 months.

So to calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditure, we need to know; the date of the transaction, the expenditures made, and the capitalization period.

Hence the WAAE is calculated as Actual Expenditure ×  Capitalization Period which is written thus:

                       

Date          Actual Expenditure          Capitalization period        WAAE

April 1         $30,000                                   8/8                            $30,000

July 1          $60,000                                   5/8                            $37,500

October 1   $ 150,000                                 2/8                           $37,500

Total                                                                                              $105,000

Tanya [424]

Employee benefits have become more significant and diverse

Employee benefits

  • Typically, membership-based incentives are provided to recruit and retain staff.
  • Although they have no direct impact on a worker's performance, insufficient benefits make workers unhappy.

The Price of Offering Employee Benefits

  • The cost of benefits and services is around 40% of an organization's payroll expense.
  • When significant wage and salary increases are not possible, benefits become the main topic of discussion with employees.

Community Security

  • Funded by equal contributions from the employer and the employee, based on a percentage of wages.
  • Offers retirement income, income for disabled workers, and money for surviving dependents.
  • offers Medicare some health insurance coverage.

Unemployment Insurance

  • Employers who pay both federal and state taxes on the taxable wage base provide the funding.
  • Tax rates vary depending on an organization's history with unemployment.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

rivalry among existing competitors

Explanation:

The Porters' 5 forces is used to analyse the competitiveness among firms in an industry.

Porter's 5 forces include :

  • Competition in the industry : the higher the number of companies in the industry, the lower the power an individual firm possesses. For example, if an industry increases it price, a consumer can easily shift to the consumption of substitutes
  •  Potential of new entrants into the industry : If there are low barriers to entry in an industry, firms in the industry experience greater competition  
  • Power of suppliers : the higher the number of suppliers in the industry, the higher the bargaining power of firms in the industry and the greater the power they possess
  •  Power of customers : the larger the number of customers, the greater the power firms possess
  • Threat of substitute product : if there are little or no substitutes for the goods produced by companies, the greater the power the firms possess

Champagne of the​ South, Inc., a manufacturer of bottled sweet​ tea, had the following beginning and ending inventories for the
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

total manufacturing cost added for the period 105,169

Cost of goods manufactured 106,064

Cost of goods sold 110,564

Explanation:

First, we need to know the amount of direct materials used in production.

beginning raw materials 10,000

purchase                         27,000

ending                               (1,702)

indirect materials          <u>    (2,129)  </u>

direct materials                33,169

now, we calculate the cost added during the period

direct materials    33,169

direct labors         30,000

overhead              42,000

total cost added 105,169

next step, we calculate the cost of goods manufactured from the WIP

WIP                     17,895

added               105,169

WIP ending    <u>   (17,000)  </u>

COGM             106,064

And last, the cost of goods sold

beginning finished goods  21,000

COGM                                106,064

ending finished goods    <u>  (16,500)  </u>

          COGS                      110,564

Mean Distribution = $100

Standard deviation = $12

Total number of player = 16 player

Standard error of the mean = ?

Computation of standard error of the mean:

Standard error of the mean = Standard deviation / √ Total number of player

Standard error of the mean = 12 / √16

Standard error of the mean = 12 / 4

Standard error of the mean = 3
