ock Beverage Co. estimated that total factory overhead cost for the Blending Department for the coming fiscal year beginning February 1 would be $3,150,000, and total direct labor costs would be $1,800,000. During February, the actual direct labor cost totaled $160,000, and factory overhead cost incurred totaled $283,900.
Required:
a. What is the predetermined factory overhead rate based on direct labor cost? Enter your answer as a whole percent not in decimals.
b. Journalize the entry to apply factory overhead to production for February.
c. What is the February 28 balance of the account Factory Overhead—Blending Department?

Answer:

a. 175%

b.

<u>Journal Entry  to apply factory overhead to production for February.</u>

Work In Process $280,000 (debit)

Overheads $280,000 (credit)

c. $3,900

d. Under-applied Overheads

Explanation:

<em>Predetermined Overhead rate = Total Budgeted Overheads /Total Budgeted Activity</em>

                                                   = $3,150,000 / $1,800,000

                                                   = $1.75 per direct labor cost.  or

                                                   = 175% (1.75 × 100)

<em>Applied factory overhead = Predetermined Overhead rate × Actual Activity</em>

                                           = $160,000 × 175 %

                                           = $280,000

<u>Journal Entry  to apply factory overhead to production for February.</u>

Work In Process $280,000 (debit)

Overheads $280,000 (credit)

<u>over-applied or under-applied factory overhead</u>

<em>Over-applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads</em>

<em>Under-applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads</em>

Actual Overheads (given) = $283,900

Applied Overheads = $280,000

Actual Overheads: $283,900 > Applied Overheads :$280,000

Thus we have an Under-application situation of $3,900 ($283,900 - $280,000)

Amanda [17]

Answer:

(A) 15 × p

(B) 225\times p{^2}

(C)  P\times 5\times k^{0.5}

Explanation:

(B) direct= demand function of labor will be,

Q: f(w),

where Q is labor demand quantity and is function of wage

K=9 constant, then production function changes to,

=30L^{0.5}

Marginal product of labor:

= 15L^{-0.5}

Marginal revenue product or value of marginal product:

=15p\times L^{- 0.5}

This is showing what revenue a firm will generate due to hiring one additional unit of labor.

So firm will keep hiring until the revenue the additional labor is generating is equal to its hiring cost or wage.

So, putting MRP or VMP to wage:

P\times15\times L^{-0.5}=W

By solving,

\frac{(225\times p^{2})}{W^{2}}=L

And the multiplicative term is 225\times p{^2}

(A) Inverse demand function of labor will be,

W: f(Q)  

where W is wage rate and demand function of labor demanded quantity.

As previously solved,

P\times15 \times L^{0.5}=W

and the multiplicative constant term is 15 × p.

(c) In long run capital will also variate, so production function will be,

=10L^{0.5}\times k{^0.5}

MP=\frac{(5\times k^{0.5})}{L^{0.5}}

VMP=\frac{P(5\times k^{0.5})}{L^{0.5}}

( p is market price of good that firm is producing using labor)

putting it equal to Wage)

W=\frac{(5\times k^{0.5})}{L^{0.5}}

and the constant term is  P\times 5\times k^{0.5}.

Note:

I did a) second place and b) on first . I already put the serial alphabet on the start of the answer.

Which of the statements below concerning a sole proprietorship is true?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The answer is: D) It is easy to create a sole proprietorship.

Explanation:

One of the main characteristic of a sole proprietorship is the flexibility of setting it up or closing it.

Since a sole proprietorship is the most basic type of business, it is easy to create and probably the most common type of business in the whole world. For example an accountant or a lawyer setting up an office, or even a housewife selling handicrafts through Ebay.
