pt = rate of inflation ( = 3%), rt* = real Fed funds rate( = 4%)

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The actual direct labor hours are 45,000.

The overhead rate for Year 2 is $1.74.

Explanation:

Compute the actual direct labor hours:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Actual direct labor hours}&=\dfrac{\text{Applied overheads}}{\text{Overhead rate}}\\&=\dfrac{\$76,500}{1.7}\\&=45,000\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the actual direct labor hours are 45,000.

Compute the overhead rate for Year 2:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Overhead rate}&=\dfrac{\text{Actual overheads}}{\text{Actual direct labor hours}}\\&=\dfrac{\$78,300}{45,000}\\&=1.74\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the overhead rate for Year 2 is $1.74.

Working note:

Calculate the overhead rate for Year 1:

$\begin{aligned}\text{Overhead rate}&=\dfrac{\text{Budgeted overheads}}{\text{Estimated direct labor hours}}\\&=\dfrac{\$74,800}{44,000}\\&=1.7\end{aligned}$

Answer:

c. $240,000

Explanation:

Her economic profit is given by her revenue deducted by the explicit costs (I=$150,000) and implicit costs (opportunity cost).

Her monthly revenue is:

$R=1,000\ (items/day)*30\ days*\$15/item\\R = \$450,000$

Her opportunity cost is:

$O = 30\ days* 8\ (hours/day)*\$250/hour\\O=\$60,000$

Her economic profit is:

$P = R-I-O\\P=\$450,000-\$150,000-\$60,000\\P=\$240,000$

The answer is c. $240,000.
