Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The company currently has HR units, fiscal units, and purchasing units at each plant. This can be costly for the company since all these units incur cost and have to be paid for separately.

By centralizing the operations, that is, bringing these functions together in one location, Corey will need fewer employees. Hence, he shall be able to save costs by having to pay lower salaries. Moreover, there shall be greater consistency as work across various plants shall not be done by the same employees.

Although the costs of travel shall increase for the company, the cost savings in the form of lower salaries should definitely outweigh this increase.

Answer: Yes or no; depending on the below explanation (this is because the question is incomplete)



Explanation:

Corey wants to reorganize his company, with the prime objectives of:

(A) Saving money

(B) Creating consistency

The question is "Is Corey correct?"

This means "Will he be doing the right thing by reorganizing the company in the described manner?"

The answer lies in the current state of the company.

(A) Corey will save money from his plan if:

- there are not many customers across the company's plants. In this case, money will be saved if the goods and services offered or sold by the company are deployed from one plant to the others.

- the company is low on capital and needs to lay off workers. In this case, the company won't have any choice than to reduce the number of operations at each plant.

- the goods and services rendered by his company are no more in high demand in most of the regions where the company's plants are situated.

- cost of raw materials will be minimized (relative to revenue maximization) by reducing the number of plants the company has or the number of operations in each plant.

(B) Corey will create consistency from his plan if in his reorganization, be brings to the designated plant, the best resources of the company; for efficiency sake.

If these are Corey's reasons for the reorganization of his company, then Corey is correct.

If contrasting reasons to the ones laid out above are Corey's reasons or are the current state of the company, then Corey will not be correct.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

$256,284

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

First, Calculate the predetermined overhead rate per hour which equals to

=  (Estimated manufacturing Overhead cost ÷ estimated machine hours)  

= ($235,900 ÷ 20,800 hours)

= $11.34 per hour

So, the applied overhead or manufacturing overhead allocated equals to

=  Predetermined overhead rate per hour × actual machine hours

= $11.34 per hour × 22,600 hours

= $256,284

David Grange is married and claims 4 withholding allowances. If he is paid biweekly and earns $1,846 per period, use the percent
Trava [24]

Answer: $74.60

Explanation:

For people who are paid biweekly, 1 withholding allowance = $161.5

4 withholding allowances = $646

Earnings after deducting withholding allowance = $1,846 - $646

Earnings after deducting withholding allowance = $1,200

For a married person who is paid biweekly, the percentage applicable to David's pay bracket is 10% on the amount over the $454

That is, 10% on $746 ($1200 - $454)

=$74.60

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Break-even units = 66.67 units

Explanation:

<em>Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.</em>

<em>The break-even point is calculated as </em>

<em>Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit</em>

Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost

Contribution per unit = 15- (1+3+0.50) = 10.5

Fixed cost = 500 +( 50× 4) = 700

So the units requited to achieve break-even point:

Break-even point =  700/10.5

                            = 66.67 units

After reading the new account insert in his monthly​ statement, Tony Mercadante determined that the FDIC considers a joint accou
yarga [219]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the limit to the amount a person can be insured for is, $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank.

That means that Tony's account at a balance of $120,712 is covered completely as it is well below $250,000.

Their Joint account is also completely covered at $60,099.

Cynthia however does not have complete coverage as her bank account exceeds to the coverage limit by $3,629 which will not be covered.

Should be noted that should she transfer this excess to the joint account then she should be fully covered.

Answer:

<em><u>Units to be accounted for:</u></em>

Beg WIP    300 units

started     2700 units

Total       3,000 units

<u>Equivalent units  </u>

                physical    materials  conversion

tranferred    2,850       2,850           2,850

ending             150           150     (20%)  30

total              3,000      2,700           2,880

<u>Cost to be accounted for:</u>

                 materials      conversion

beg WIP              0                576

incurred              0           10,800

Total                    0            11,376

<u>Equivalent unis cost</u>

materials zero

conversion: $11,376 / 2,880 = $3.95

Cost assigned for:

Transferred units

2,850 units x 3.95 = 11,257.5

ending work in process units

30 units x 3.95 = 118.5

Total cost to be assigned for 11,376

<em><u /></em>

<em><u>Notice:</u></em> Total cost to be asisgned for and assigned cost are the same.

Explanation:

1) We count the physical units

2) Then, we solve for the equivalent units which, under weighted average are:

transferred units + completion on ending work in process.

3) Now, we solve for equivalent unit cost:

for materials, this is zero are there is no cost associaed with.

4) Finally, we made the cost assignment which, should match the beginning WP cost and the incurred cost during the period.
