1 answer:

Cultural universals (elements of a culture that exist in every society such as food, religion, language, etc.) exist because all cultures have basic needs and they all develop common features to ensure their needs are met. Ethnocentrism is seeing your culture as superior to others.

Stanford Corporation has four categories of overhead. The expected overhead costs for each category for next year are as follows

aliina [53]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 2,325,000 / 20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $116.25 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 116.25*375

Allocated MOH= $43,493.75

b)

Total cost= 5,000 + 7,500 + 43,493.75

Total cost= $55,993.75

c)

Selling price= 55,993.75*1.3

Selling price= $72,791.88

d)

First, we need to calculate the activities rate:

Maintenance= 210,000 / 10,000= $21 per machine hour

Materials handling= 90,000 / 2,000= $45 per material move

Setups= 75,000 / 100= $750 per setup

Inspection= 150,000 / 4,000= $37.5 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Maintenance= 21*150= 3,150

Materials handling= 45*4= 180

Setups= 750*2= 1,500

Inspection= 37.5*3= 112.5

Total allocated costs= $4,942.5

Luden [163]

Answer:

The correct answer is bureaucratic.

Explanation:

Bureaucracy is the organization or structure that is characterized by centralized and decentralized procedures, division of responsibilities, work specialization, hierarchy and impersonal relationships. The term is used in sociology, in administrative science and, especially, in public administration. It could be defined as a set of techniques or methodologies arranged to learn or rationalize the external reality (to which it intends to control the central power) in order to know it and call it in a standardized or uniform way. A clear example of this characteristic of bureaucracies, particularly those of government, is the hiring and assignment or removal of personnel, that is, officials, according to explicit criteria and relevant to the performance of duties.

Purchase discounts are the same as trade discounts true or false

elixir [45]

That statement is false.

They are different. Purchase discounts are given by the sellers to the buyers in order to reduce the amount that the buyers have to pay if they complete the payment within a specific period of time. Trade discount on the other hand, is given by manufacturers to the sellers or re-sellers.

Rick, who is single, has been offered a position as a city landscape consultant. The position pays $141,800 in cash wages. Assum

Sliva [168]

Answer:

I used the 2020 standard deduction and income tax brackets to calculate the answer.

a. What is the amount of Rick’s after-tax compensation (ignore payroll taxes) and his income tax liability?

Rick's gross income $141,800

- standard deduction $12,400

taxable income $129,400

income taxes = (10% x $9,875) + (12% x $30,250) + (22% x $45,400) + (24% x $43,875) = $25,135.50

after tax income = $141,800 - $25,135.50 = $116,664.50

b. Suppose Rick receives a competing job offer of $102,500 in cash compensation and nontaxable (excluded) benefits worth $4,900.

Rick's gross income $102,500

- standard deduction $12,400

taxable income $90,100

income taxes = (10% x $9,875) + (12% x $30,250) + (22% x $45,400) + (24% x $4,575) = $15,703.50

after tax income = $102,500 - $15,703.50 + $4,900 = $91,696.50
