Answer:

The correct answer is D: $16

Explanation:

The rule of 70 is a means of estimating the number of years it takes for an investment or your money to double.

Number of Years to Double= 70/Annual Rate of Return

In this exercise= 70/2= 35 years

Every 35 years the investment duplicates.

35 years= $2

70 years= $4

105 years= $8

140 years= $16

An accountant increases the price he charges for his services by 66 percent. In​ response, the demand for his services decreases
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

The accountant's revenue will decrease because the demand for his services has fallen by 1,818%, while the price he charges has only gone up by 66%.

The rise in prices will not be enough to cover the losses for such a deep fall in demand.

For example, suppose that before, the accountat used to complete 200 services a month for $100 per year, his total revenue is = 200 x $100 = $20,000.

Now, he will charge 68% more, the new service fee is $168, but demand for his services will now be a negative 3436 (200 x 1,818% = 3636), so his revenue will be 0, or even, negative (he could get into debt to afford his expenses).

Beehive Corporation incurred actual overhead of $201,600 and applied overhead of $210,000. Beehive has supplied the following da
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

$713,605

Explanation:

If Actual Overheads > Applied Overhead we say, Overheads have been underapplied and the amount of underapplied overheads is added to the balance in stock and cost of sales.

and

If Applied Overheads > Actual Overhead we say, Overheads have been overapplied and the amount of overapplied overheads is deducted from the balance in stock and cost of sales.

Where :

Actual overhead is  $201,600 and Applied overhead is $210,000, the amount of overapplied overhead is $8,400 ($210,000 - $201,600).

The overapplied overheads is allocated to ending balances of Finished Goods, Work In Process and Cost of Sales only and except Direct Materials

                                    Total         %           Allocation

Work-in-process     $28,000     3.41              $286

Finished goods      $70,000     8.55              $718

Cost of goods       $721,000    88.03          $7,395

Total                       $819,000   100.00         $8,400

Therefore,

Cost of goods sold = $721,000 - $7,395 = $713,605

Huffington Company uses a plantwide overhead rate to apply overhead. The predetermined overhead rate is based on machine hours.
posledela

Answer:

The company's plantwide overhead rate on a per machine hour basis is $5 per hour.

Explanation:

Acording to the data, we have the following:

Direct Labour Cost=$200,000

Direct Labour Hours= 16,000

Total Overhead Cost= $25,000

Machine Hours= 5,000

Therefore, to calcuate the company's plantwide overhead rate on a per machine hour basis, we use the following formula:

Company's plantwide overhead rate= Total Overhead/ Machine hours

                                                             = $ 25,000 / 5000 hours

                                                              =$5 per hour
