Answer: There are 60 potatoes in a bucket.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let 't' be the total amount of time, in minutes, taken by the worker to bake pies and peel a bucket of potatoes.

Let 'x' be the number of potatoes in a bucket.

So, total time taken by the worker on Monday can be expressed as:

t = (2*60) + 1.5x

The total time taken on Tuesday is:

t = (2.5*60) + 1x

Since the total time spent by the worker on these two activities on Monday and Tuesday are equal, we can equate the two equations and rewrite them as follows:

(2.5*60) + 1x = (2*60) + 1.5x

150 + 1x = 120 + 1.5x

150 - 120 = 1.5x - 1x

30 = 0.5x

30 = 0.5x

x = 60

Answer:

60 potatoes.

Explanation:

It is a simple mathematical question in which we find the value of x(potatoes) by equating two scenarios and then finding the value.

The calculations are as follows:

1st scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Monday = (2*60) + 1.5x

2nd scenario:

time t to make pies and peel potatoes on Tuesday = (2.5*60) + 1x

Now writing these equations as below:

(2*60) + 1.5x = (2.5*60) + 1x

120 + 1.5x = 150 + 1x

1.5x - 1x = 150-120

0.5x=30

x=30/0.5

x=60.

Session Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-ho
Fofino [41]

Answer:

$6,765

Explanation:

The total cost for job K913 is given by the sum of the costs with manufacturing overhead (fixed and variable), direct materials (M) and direct labor (L).

Since the company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, the overhead cost for job K913 is:

O = F+V\\O=\frac{150*\$511,000}{70,000} +150*\$2.10\\O=\$1,410

The total cost for the job is:

C=O+M+L\\C=\$1,410+\$705+\$4,650\\C=\$6,765

The total job cost for Job K913 is closest to $6,765.
