Answer:

Which of the following is an example of the free-rider problem? Option C is the most suitable answer - Bruce owns Buster, a large dog who barks whenever anyone walks near his house. Betty lives next to Bruce, and Buster's barking can be heard whenever anyone walks near her house, too. Thus, Betty receives free protection from burglars because of Buster's barking.

Explanation:

In a situation whereby one party benefits without having to pay for the transaction themselves, and rather the other party pays for it, there would be an occurrence of the free-riding problem.

In the scenario described in the question, the neighbor is receiving benefits from burglars without having to pay for the security or dog.

Therefore, option C is the most suitable answer.

Neptune Inc. uses a standard cost system and has the following information for the most recent month, April: Actual direct labor
Naddik [55]

Answer:

$3,200 overapplied

Explanation:

The computation of the total underapplied or overapplied factory overhead is shown below:

Given that

Actual total factory overhead costs incurred is $45,400

Now Overhead applied to production

= (Total factory overhead application rate per standard DLH × Standard direct labor hours allowed)

= $2.70 × 18,000

= $48,600

As we can see that the overhead applied amount is more than the actual amount so the overhead cost would be overapplied i.e.  

 = $48,600 - $45,400

= $3,200 overapplied
