Answer:

A) adding more workers exhausts the possible gains from specialization.

Explanation:

When a worker specializes in a certain task, they will become more productive and efficient in performing the task. Worker specialization takes a long time, so it only applies in the long run.

In the short run when a company wants to increase its output, it cannot rely on worker specialization since they don't have the time to wait, they must hire more workers.

NeX [460]

Answer:

1. Cutting Department = $8.99 per machine hour and Finishing Department = $11.53 per direct labor hour.

2. The total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203 is $2,058.46.

3. Yes. Plant wide pre-determined overhead rate does not consider the cost driver in the departments involved.

Explanation:

<em>Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity</em>

Cutting Department = $390,000 / 43,400

= $8.99 per machine hour

Finishing Department = $496,000 / 43,000

= $11.53 per direct labor hour

<u>Total manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Job 203.</u>

Direct materials

Cutting Department $ 745.00

Finishing Department $ 370 .00

Direct labor costs

Cutting Department $ 43.00

Finishing Department $ 210.00

Variable manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($2.00 × 43) $86.00

Finishing Department ($2.00 × 4) $8.00

Variable manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($3.75 × 3) $11.25

Finishing Department ($3.75 × 13) $48.75

Fixed manufacturing overhead

Cutting Department ($8.99 × 43) $386.57

Finishing Department ($11.53 × 13) $149.89

Total $2,058.46

Orange juice, a raisin bagel, and a cup of coffee from Kelly's Koffee Kart cost a total of $2.40. Kelly posts a notice annou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

orange juice 0.80 dollar

Bagel 1 dollar

coffe 0.60 dollar

Explanation:

We construct the equation system:

$\left \{ {A+B+C = 2.40} \atop {1.5A+1.2B+C = 3}} \right.$

We subtract one from another to get an expression without C:

1.5A+1.2B+C - (A+B+C) = 3 - 2.40

0.5A + 0.2B = 0.6

Then, we solve in the first part to express B as an expression of A

considering the coffe is worth half of the new cost of A

C = 1.5A / 2 = 0.75A

A + B + C = 2.40

A + B + 0.75A = 2.40

B = 2.40 - 1.75A

And now we replace in the other expression to get A:

0.5A + 0.2(2.40 - 1.75A) = 0.6

0.5A - 0.35A + 0.48 = 0.60

0.15A = 0.12

A = 0.12/0.15 = 0.8

Now we solve for C:

C = 0.75A = 0.6

Last, for B:

A + B + C = 2.40

0.8 + B + 0.6 = 2.40

B = 2.40 - 0.8 - 0.6 = 1
