This is a case of modified return on investment since the question was specific that the return on investment should in terms margin and assets turnover.

The first task would be to compute margin and turnover whereas the return on investment would be the multiples of both performance measures.

Margin =operating income/sales

Asset turnover=sales/average operating assets

operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets=operating income/average assets

This question also require proofing the above formula as I have done.

Margin Assets turnover ROI

Queensland$82,320/$784,000=10.5%$784,000/$560,000=1.4 14.7%

South Wales$118,800/$1,485,000=8% $1,485,000/$495,000= 24.0%

R0I=margin*assets turnover

Queensland=10.5%*1.4=14.7%

New south sales=8%*3=24%

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $171.89 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total direct labor hours= (500*0.4) + (1,000*0.2)= 400 direct labor hours

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 68,756 / 400

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $171.89 per direct labor hour
