Answer:

GDP grew by $2,200

Explanation:

G<em>ross domestic product (GDP) which is the total market value of all the final goods and services produced in a country over a given period of time. The GDP can be calculated using the value added approach.</em>

Here the GPD figure is ascertained by summing the amount of additional value created by each factor of production at each stage of the production process of the final product.

<em>Only the values added are summed, the cost of the inputs or intermediate goods are not included</em>

<em>In this question, the final value of $2200 represents the amount by which the GDP has increased in the period. This also can be verified using the value-added approach as follows</em>

                                                   Value added($)

Gold miner   -                                   600

Mining company : 1000 -600 =      400

Jewerlry maker  :1600 - 1000 =      600

Departmental store :2200 -1600 = <u>600</u>

Total value added                           <u>2,200</u>

Answer:

Total Stockholders' equity was affected.

Explanation:

Stock dividend refers to distributing shares free of cost among the existing shareholders. Such a dividend does not result in resources flowing out of the entity but merely reassign amounts from retained earnings to other equity accounts. Thus, such a dividend does not affect the total equity of the stockholders. This can be seen through the following entry,

Retained Earnings     $1,800,000 Dr

      Common Stock, at par      $1,200,000 Cr

      Paid in Capital in excess

      of par, Common Stock      $600,000 Cr

The above transaction shows that we just redistributed the reserves by reducing retained earning by the value of stock dividend 1800000 [( 800000*0.15) * $15]  and adding it to the Common Stock 1200000 [(800000*0.15) * 10] and to paid in capital in excess of par 600000 [(800000*0.15) * 5].

1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate for the year, assuming that the company assigns overhead based on 125,000 budgeted d
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a. $17.44 per hour

b. $43,600 ; $104,640

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Single plantwide overhead rate equals to

= Total Overhead Amount ÷ Budgeted Direct Labor Hours

where,

Total overhead amount is

= $625,000 + $900,000 + $105,000 + $175,000 + $300,000 + $75,000

= $2,180,000

And, the budgeted direct labor hours is 125,000

So, the overhead rate is

= $2,180,000 ÷ 125,000

= $17.44 per hour

2. Now the overhead cost is

For Deluxe model

= 2,500 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $43,600

For basic model

= 6,000 direct labor hours × $17.44 per hour

= $104,640
