EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $945,000. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool and

cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 450,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $360,000, and $585,000 is allocated to the design cost pool.Additional information related to these pools is as follows:Machine hours wool: 100,000Number of set ups wool: 1,000Machine hours cotton: 100,000Number of set ups cotton: 500Machine hours total: 200,000Number of setups total: 1,500The amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing & traditional approach is as follows:ABC wool: $570,000Traditional wool: $472,500ABC cotton: $375,000Traditional cotton: $472,500Required:How does allocation using the traditional approach compare with the amount allocated using ABC?

Answer:

The main advantage of using ABC costing method is that it is more exact than traditional costing, and overhead costs are generally allocated on different basis (cost drivers) which results in a more fair distribution.  

In this case, overhead costs allocated based solely on direct labor hours might be over or under stated since certain manufacturing procedures might require a lot of labor but few machines, while others might require few labor and a lot of machines.

Cutting is done mostly by machines while design is done mostly by employees. Allocating cutting overhead costs based on machine hours makes sense. Since both wool and cotton require the same amount of machine hours, cutting costs are allocated equally between them.

On the other hand, design is carried out by employees, so allocating design costs based on set ups (which is also carried out by employees) makes sense. That is why most of design costs are allocated to wool (wool requires 67% of setups).

Before under the traditional method, overhead costs were allocated evenly, but once we start allocating them based on more real cost drivers, the total amounts change.

Kremena's bank account earns 4.5% simple interest. How much must she deposit in the account today if she wants it to be worth $1
12345 [234]

Answer:

$1,101.32

Explanation:

Simple interest accounts balances are calculated using the following formula

A = P ( 1 + rt)

where:

A = final account balance

P = starting balance

r = interest rate (annually) percentage divided by 100

t = years

Therefore, we can plug in the values provided in this formula and solve for P which would be the amount that Kremena needs to deposit.

1,250 = P ( 1 + (0.045 * 3))

1,250 = P * 1.135  ... divide both sides by 1.135

1,101.32 = P

Finally, we can see that Kremena would need to deposit a total of $1,101.32 to have the amount that she wants after 3 years.

These are the 5 metrics that matters most when analyzing a digital marketing campaign.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

#1 = Web traffic is the amount of data sent and received by visitors to a website. This amount necessarily does not include the traffic generated by bots.

#2 = The three main traffic sources are direct, referral, and search, although your website may also have traffic from campaigns such as banner ads or paid search.

#3 = The time-on-page is simply the time difference between the pageview hit of the next page to the current page. In this scenario, the time-on-page will be “0” seconds since the person did not go to any other page.

#4 = When an employer taxes your bonus using the percentage method, it must identify the bonus as separate from your regular wages. The withholding rate for supplemental wages is 22 percent. That rate will be applied to any supplemental wages like bonuses up to $1 million during the tax year.

#5 = Exit rate as a term used in web site traffic analysis (sometimes confused with bounce rate) is the percentage of visitors to a page on the website from which they exit the website to a different website.

You currently own shares in Buckeye Mutual Fund (BMF). Your broker calls and recommends buying shares in a small-capitalization
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Option D is the correct option

Explanation:

To find the optimal fund to combine with risk free rate of return, we will use Coefficient of variation,

Coefficient of variation(CoV) = Standard Deviation/Expected Return

CoV of Buckeye = 14%/20% = 0.7

CoV of Wolverine = 11%/12% = 0.9167

So, higher the CoV higher the risk, we will take Buckeye to combine with Risk Free Return.

Hence, Option A

- Required target return of portfolio = 22%

Risk Free return = 8%

Buckeye Return = 20%

Let the weight of Buckeye be X ,& weight of risk free be (1-X)

Required return = (WRF)*(RRF) + (WB)*(RB)

22 = (1-X)(8) + (X)(20)

22 = 8-8X + 20X

14 = 12X

X = 1.17

SO, weight of Buckeye is 1.17 or 117%

while weight of Risk free is -0.17 (1-1.17) or -17%

Hence, ans is OPTION D
