Answer:

C. 30

Explanation:

If the first machine processes 100 units in 5 hours,

Number of units in 1 hour = 100/5

                                          = 20 Units

In 2 hours, this machine would process

= 2 × 20

= 40 Units

Therefore where there are 100 units to be processed in 2 hours, the first  machine would process 40 units in the given time

The new machine would have to process the remaining

Number of units to be processed by new machine

= 100 - 40

= 60 Units

If the machine is to process 60 units in 2 hours, constant rate, in units per hour, of the new machine

= 60/2

= 30 units per hour

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.

In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:

Sales : $200,000

If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000

Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.

The entry is recorded as:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

Inflation means a rapid rise in the price of commodities in a market, and it is normally as a result of scarcity of products or excess flow of money in an economy. Prices on the other hand do not always increase generally, as price could reduce or remain the same overtime.

Stanford Corporation has four categories of overhead. The expected overhead costs for each category for next year are as follows
aliina [53]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

a)

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

<u></u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,325,000 / 20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $116.25 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>

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

Allocated MOH=  116.25*375

Allocated MOH= $43,493.75

<u>b)</u>

Total cost= 5,000 + 7,500 + 43,493.75

Total cost= $55,993.75

<u>c)</u>

Selling price= 55,993.75*1.3

Selling price= $72,791.88

<u>d)</u>

<u>First, we need to calculate the activities rate:</u>

<u></u>

Maintenance= 210,000 / 10,000= $21 per machine hour

Materials handling= 90,000 / 2,000= $45 per material move

Setups= 75,000 / 100= $750 per setup

Inspection= 150,000 / 4,000= $37.5 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Maintenance= 21*150= 3,150

Materials handling= 45*4= 180

Setups= 750*2= 1,500

Inspection= 37.5*3= 112.5

Total allocated costs= $4,942.5
