Business

4 0

Answer:

Please see explanation.

Explanation:

Once the factory overhead rate is determined using the estimated amount of factory overhead and estimated  base, it is used to charge overhead cost to the jobs, products or work performed.

Since, not all overhead costs are known at the time of making the product, (such as electricity bill is received after  the month end) therefore, the estimated rate is used to apply the overhead cost to the job or product using actual  activity level. This is called absorption or application of overheads to the products / jobs.

Due to this, at each period end, the management calculates and compares the actual overhead cost with the  applied overhead cost and determine the over or under applied overheads.

Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16.

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}

Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}

Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

a) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration estimated as the expected value?

  • original cost $5,800 if job is finished in one month (15% probability)
  • bonus price for finishing 2 weeks earlier $5,800 x 1.25 = $7,250 (25% probability)
  • bonus price for finishing 1 week earlier $5,800 x 1.15 = $6,670 (60% probability)

expected transaction price = ($5,800 x 15%) + ($7,250 x 25%) + ($6,670 x 60%) = $6,684.50

b) What is the expected transaction price with variable consideration as the most likely amount?

$6,670, since it has a 60% probability

viva [34]

Answer:

WA      1,682

LIFO      910

FIFO  2,260

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Date&Cost&Units&Subtotal\\$Jan 20th&8&400&3200\\$April 21th&10&200&2000\\$July 25th&13&280&3640\\$Sept 19th&15&90&1350\\$Total&10.51&970&10190\\\end{array}\right]

We add the units purchase and the subtotal to get the total units available for sale.

Ending inventory physical units: 970 - 810 = 160 units

<u>Then, we calculate for each method:</u>

Weighted average:

cost of goods / available units = 10,190 / 970 =  10.51

160 units x 10.51 = 1,681.6‬

LIFO:

Ending inventory will be the oldest units:

160 units x 8 = 960

FIFO:

Ending inventory will be the newest units as the units are sold as soon as they come in

90 x 15 =  1,350

70 x 13 =     910

Total       2,260
