There are usually more positive than negatives when it comes to moving manufacturing from the United States to China. It's cheaper to pay wages in China for the same type of work that someone in America would expect to be paid. Not only can you pay the workers less, you can then afford to expand and hire more people due to saving the money on American wages. Usually, you can also get products cheaper in China and cut down the cost of your product. However, with cheaper labor and materials comes cheaper quality and the quality dropping may hurt consumers willingness to buy.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

decrease of $8,900

Explanation:

Use the following formula to calculate the net operating income

Net operating income = Sales - Variables cost - Fixed cost

At Current Sales Level

Sales = 5,000 x $160 = $800,000

Variable cost = 5,000 x $48 = $240,000

Fixed cost = $499,000

Placing values in the formula

Net Operaitng Income = $800,000 - $240,000 - $499,000 = $61,000

At Increased Sales level

Sales = 5,900 x ($160-$13) = $867,300

Variable cost = 5,900 x $48 = $283,200

Fixed cost = $532,000

Placing values in the formula

Net Operaitng Income = $867,300 - $283,200 - $532,000 = $52,100

Now calculate the change in net operating income

Change in net operating income = Net operating income at current sales - net operating income at increased sales = $61,000 - $52,100 = $8,900

Hence, Net operating income is decreased by $8,900

Vadim26 [7]

Quantity will Increase

At the time when there is an increase in suppliers so supply curve shift rightward due to which the consumer income would increase and this result in more demand. So the demand could be shift in rightward

So here the price should be the same but the quantity is increased

The Charade Company is preparing its Manufacturing Overhead budget for the fourth quarter of the year. The budgeted variable fac
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

the total budgeted factory overhead for November is : 2) $110,000.

the budgeted direct labor hours for December must be : 3) 9,000 hours.

total budgeted factory overhead per direct labor hour is : 1) $14.38

Explanation:

To determine the budgeted factory overhead for November, prepare a budgeted factory overhead for November as follows :

<u>November</u>

Budgeted Variable factory overhead ($5.00 × 7,000 hours)  = $35,000

Budgeted Fixed factory overhead                                             = $75,000

Total budgeted factory overhead                                              = $110,000

<u>December</u>

Total Cash Disbursements                                                         = $105,000

Less Budgeted Fixed factory overhead  ($75,000 - $15,000) =  $60,000

Budgeted Variable factory overhead                                        =   $45,000

Therefore, budgeted direct labor hours = $45,000 / $5.00

                                                                  = 9,000 hours.

<u>December</u>

Budgeted Variable factory overhead ($5.00 × 8,000 hours)  = $40,000

Budgeted Fixed factory overhead                                             = $75,000

Total budgeted factory overhead                                              = $115,000

Therefore, total budgeted factory overhead per direct labor hour = $115,000 / 8,000 hours = $14.375

Which is $14.38 (rounded)
