Answer:

C. strictly liable for Will's injuries

Explanation:

In law, Strict liability is a situation when defendant is required to be responsible to a certain situation, but can't be considered as guilty to any violation.

There are two points that need to be highlighted from the case above:

1.  Astor Manufacturing process has fulfilled all of its safety regulation for storing the dangerous product.

2. The dangerous product owned by Astor Manufacturing caused William's injury.

The regulations for hazard management is created by the government, and the leak is not caused by their negligence. It's caused by unexpected natural disaster.  This is why we can't say that Astor is guilty to any violation.

But still, the chemical that they created injured William. The court will most likely force Astor to be responsible for all the medical expenses incurred by william.

Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate, using each of the following allocation bases: (a) direct labor hours and (
Fofino [41]

Answer and Explanation:

1.

The direct labor overhead rate using the direct labor hours is shown below:-

Direct labor overhead rate = Total overheads ÷ Direct labor hours

= $220,800 ÷ 1,725

= $128

b. The machine hour overhead rate using the machine hours is

= Total overhead ÷ Machine hours

= $220,800 ÷ 4,600

= $48

2.

The factory overhead costs using direct labor hour is

Particulars             Automobile       Valve        Wheels        Total

                                bumpers           covers

Direct labor            

hours                        730                 480                515

Overhead rate         $128               $128              $128

Total                        $ 93,440        $61,440        $65,920     $220,800

For determining the total overhead we simply multiply the direct labor hours with overhead rate.

The factory overhead costs using machine hour is

Particulars             Automobile       Valve        Wheels        Total

                                bumpers           covers

Machine hours          1,970               1,270         1,360

Overhead rate            $48                  $48              $48

Total overhead        $94,560         $60,960    $65,280      $220,800

For determining the total overhead we simply multiply the machine hours with overhead rate.

TwitterMe, Inc., is a new company and currently has negative earnings. The company’s sales are $1,500,000 and there are 135,000
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

(a) $61.11

(b) $54.44

Explanation:

1)

Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales

                          =  5.5 × 1,500,000

                         = $8,250,000

Thus,

Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding

                       = 8,250,000 ÷ 135,000

                       = $61.11

Thus, I would pay $61.11 for the stock.

2)

Value of Stock = Benchmark price-sales ratio × Stock's sales

                          =  4.9 × 1,500,000

                         = $7,350,000

Thus,

Price of stock = Value of Stock ÷ shares outstanding

                       = $7,350,000 ÷ 135,000

                       = $54.44

Thus, I would pay $54.44 for the stock.

RLW-II Enterprises estimated that indirect manufacturing costs for the year would be $60 million and that 12,000 machine hours w
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: $3,150,000

Explanation:

Total cost of production will be the total sum of the material costs, labor costs and indirect costs.

Indirect Costs

It was estimated that 12,000 machine hours would be used at a cost of $60 million.

Indirect cost per machine hour is;

= 60,000,000/12,000

= $5,000 per hour

With 200 machine hours, indirect cost is;

= 200 * 5,000

= $1,000,000

Total cost of production = 1,250,000 + 900,000 + 1,000,000

= $3,150,000

The journal entry to close the Fees Earned, $750, and Rent Revenue, $175, accounts during the year-end closing process would be:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

b. Dec. 31

Income Summary 925

Fees Earned 750

Rent Revenue 175

Explanation:

At the end of each accounting period, the elements of the income statements which are the revenues earned and the expenses incurred are usually closed to the income summary account.

The revenue earned which is normally a credit balance is closed by debiting the account and crediting the income summary. The expenses are closed by crediting the account and debiting the income summary.

Hence if Fees Earned, $750, and Rent Revenue, $175,

Total revenue = $750 + $175

= $925
