What are the central concerns of economics?

Firm A employs a high degree of operating leverage; Firm B takes a more conservative approach. Which of the following comparativ

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Statement B is correct.

Explanation:

High Operating Leverage represents higher fixed cost in comparison to variable cost, and thus that means the company will get its break even earlier or we can say with low units, but after break even profits will be higher.

As in the given case Firm A has higher Operating Leverage than Firm B, thus Firm A has lower Break even point but eventually its profit after reaching break even will grow higher.

Thus, Statement B is correct

Perez Corporation’s computer services department assists two operating departments in using the company’s information system eff

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Production department $440,000

Sales department $143,000

Explanation:

The allocation of the total cost to the operating departments is proportional to the number of employees. In other words, as the number of employees increases, so does the allocated cost and vice versa.

Hence,

Cost allocated to the production department

= 40/(40 + 13) × $583,000

= 40/53 × $583,000

= $440,000

Cost allocated to the sales department

= 13/(40 + 13) × $583,000

= 13/53 × $583,000

= $143,000

Koebel Corp uses a job order costing system with manufacturing overhead applied to products on the basis of direct labor hours.

Lynna [10]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Calculate the predetermined overhead rate Overhead Rate per hour

Predetermined Overhead rate will be the estimated total manufacturing overhead divided by the estimated total direct labor hours. This will be:

= $ 921,600/51,200

= $ 18

(b) Calculate how much manufacturing overhead will be applied to production

Manufacturing overhead that'll be applied to production will be the predetermined overhead rate multiplied by the actual total direct labor hours. This will be:

= $ 18 × 48,900 direct labor hours

= $ 880,200

(c) Is overhead over- or underapplied? By how much?

The Actual Overhead Incurred = $902,900 while the manufacturing overhead applied = $880,200. This shows that overhead is underapplied due to the fact that manufacturing overhead applied is less than the actual overhead that is incurred.

Therefore, the amount of overhead that was underapplied will be:

= $ 902,900 - $ 880,200

= $ 22,700

(d) What account should be adjusted for over-or underapplied overhead? Should the balance be increased or decreased?

Based on the scenario in the question and the answers calculated, the cost of goods sold should be increased.
