To choose the two best, we have a target of two candidates, A & B
The first one chosen is either A or B, with a propability of 2/5.
The second one is the only interested candidate out of 4, so 1/4.
So probability of choosing the best two is 2/5*1/4=1/10.

Alternatively, use the combination formula, 
P(AB in any order) = 5!/(2!3!)=120/(2*6)=1/10
or in general,
n choose r = nCr = n!/(r!(n-r)!)

The bass boats require two direct labor hours in Fabrication and three direct labor hours in Assembly.

Each product is budgeted for 3,500 units of production for the year.

Fabrication:

Speedboats= 3500*3= 10500 hours

Bass boats= 3500*2= 7000 hours

Total= 17,500

Assembly:

Speedboats= 3500*3= 10500 hours

Bass boats= 3500*3= 10500 hours

Total= 21,000 hours

B) Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Fabrication= 406875/17500= $23.25 per direct labor hour

Assembly= 257250/21000= $12.25

C) Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH Fabrication= 23.25*5 + 12.25*6= $189.75 per  unit

You need to have $30,250 in 17 in years. You can earn an annual interest rate of 4 percent for the first 5 years, 4.6 percent fo
mylen [45]

Answer:

The amount that has to be deposited today is $6205.63

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The annual interest rate for the first 5 years = 4 percent

The annual interest rate for the next 4 years = 4.6 percent

The annual interest rate for the final 8 years = 5.3 percent

Let the amount deposited be X, we have;

X × (1 + 0.04)⁵ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ ×(1.053)⁸ = $30,250

X ((1.04)^5 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 ×(1.053)^8) = $30,250

X × 4.875 = $30,250

X = $30,250/$4.875 = $6205.63

The amount that has to be deposited today = $6205.63.

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.

Explanation:

<em>Prime cost is the addition of direct material cost , direct labor cost and direct expenses.</em>

<em>Conversion cost is the cost of converting raw materials into finished product. It s the sum of direct labour cost and production overheads.</em>

For Bento Engineering,

<em>Prime cost = direct labour cost  (since no figure is given for direct material and direct expenses.)</em>

Prime cost = $94,000

Conversion cost = Direct labour cost + overheads

<em>Conversion cost</em> = $94,000 + 126,000

                          =  $135,400.

Prime cost = $94,000

<em>Conversion cost</em> =  $135,400.
