Answer:
1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.
2. The fixed overhead budget variance is $4,000 unfavourable and the fixed overhead volume variance is $10,000 favourable.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:
predetermined overhead rate for the year=<u>Total fixed overhead cost year</u>
Budgeted direct labor-hours
=$ 250,000/25,000
=$10,000
1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.
In order to calculate the fixed overhead budget variance, we use the following formula:
2. fixed overhead budget variance=Actual fixed overhead cost for the year- budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year
=$ 254,000-$ 250,000
=$4,000 unfavourable
In order to calculate the fixed overhead volume variance, we use the following formula:
fixed overhead volume variance=budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year-fixed overhead appliead to work in process
=$ 250,000-(26,000×10)
=$10,000 favourable
Answer: B. Both firm A and firm B choose the low price.
Explanation:
Both firm A and Firm B will choose the low price and make profits of $3 if there is no cooperation.
This is because at any other price, the other firms could go with the low strategy and get more profit.
For instance, if Firm A is using a low price and Firm B is using a high price then Firm A makes profit of $10 whilst B makes $1.
Conversely, if Firm B charges a low price and A a high price, A will make paltry profits of $1 while B would make $10.
Their best option therefore is to both pick the low price and make $3.
If they were cooperating they could both charge a high price and make $5 each.
Your question was incomplete so I attached the payoff matrix.
