IgorC [24]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Total Overhead Cost:

= (Overhead × Number of cases) for all products

= (20 × 350) + (25 × 550) + (17 × 650)

= 31,800

Total Machine Hours:

= Machine hours × Number of cases

= (5 × 350) + (3 × 550) + (4 × 650)

= 6,000

Overhead Rate:

= Total Overhead Cost ÷ Total Machine Hours

= 31,800 ÷ 6,000

= 5.30

Total product cost per case for Product GC:

= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead

= 80 + 30 + (Machine hours × Overhead Rate)

= 80 + 30 + (3 × 5.3)

= 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90

= $125.90

Answer:

The correct answer is D: Manufacturing overhead= $45500

Explanation:

Giving the following information, we need to calculate the amount of manufacturing head.

Direct labor= $11000

Direct labor is 40% of prime costs

Total manufactured cost is= $73000

First, we need to calculate the direct material:

Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

If direct labor is 40% of prime costs, then:

Direct material=(11000*60/40=16500

Now, the manufactured cost formula is:

Manufactured cost= direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

By rearranging the formula:

<u>Manufacturing overhead= Manufactured costs - direct material - direct labor= 73000- 16500-11000=$45500</u>

Consider a portfolio manager with a $20,500,000 equity portfolio under management. The manager wishes to hedge against a decline

love history [14]

Answer:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

$1,550,000

Explanation:

Assume that a month later the equity portfolio has a market value of $20,000,000 and the stock index future is priced at 1150 with a multiplier of 250. Calculate the profit on the equity position.

Calculate the overall profit.

The manager should be short on the stock index futures because the position on the equity portfolio is long.

Number of contracts required to hedge

= [$20,500,000/(1250*250)] * 1.25 = 82 contracts

Profit on the equity portfolio

= $20,000,000 - $20,500,000 = -$500,000

Profit on the stock index future

= [(1250)(250) – (1150)(250)] x 82 = $2,050,000

Overall profit

= $2,050,000 - $500,000

= $1,550,000

therefore, the overall profit is $1,550,000

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The master budget should only be prepared by top management.

Explanation:

A budget is an estimation of the amount of money that a person or business plans to spend on activities within a given period.

Budgeting creates efficiency in spending and reduces waste.

It is an activity that should be carried out by all relevant staff. This is because the staff know where they need to spend money.

It top management independently make a budget, it may not meet some pressing needs of the staff.
