Answer:

cannot sue John for the extra $250 asJohn made the promise to him based on past consideration.

Explanation:

When Gerald was helping John build the garage, there was no agreement between them on payment for services. After the two weeks John made the promise to pay Gerald.

This is not a binding promise as John is paying Gerald at his own discretion as a past consideration, since no contract was agreed between them.

Answer:

$160 overapplied

Explanation:

Icy Mocha company estimates it's factory overhead costs to be $35,000 and machine hours to be 5,000 for a period of one year.

The actual number of hours worked on job 333 and 334 equals a total of 4,980

The actual factory overhead costs are $34,700

The first step is to calculate the predetermined overhead rate

= Overhead costs/machine hours

= $35,000/5,000

= $7

The amount of either over or underapplied factory costs can be calculated as follows

= predetermined overhead rate×actual number of hours worked

= $7×4,980

= $34,860

The amount is then subtracted from the actual overhead costs

= $34,700-$34860

= -$160

= $160 overapplied

Hence the amount of overapplied factory overhead is $160
