Direct Method, Reciprocal Method, Overhead Rates Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direc

t labor hours for its two production departments—Molding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 19 people, and the Assembly Department employs 77 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,180 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department are budgeted at $196,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $81,000. Two support departments—Engineering and General Factory—directly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $204,000 and $411,000, respectively. The production departments’ overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments’ costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Department’s and General Factory Department’s output by the various departments. Engineering General Factory Molding Assembly Engineering hours — 1,900 2,100 7,900 Square feet 116,340 — 365,640 72,020 For all requirements, round allocation ratios to four significant digits and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the direct allocation method to charge the production departments for support department costs. Round final answers to the nearest cent. Overhead rate per DLH Molding $ 14.06 Assembly $

Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium
Svetach [21]

Question Completion:

Matrix payoff:

                                              Sharon

                                  Left              Right

Paolo     Left              8,  3             4,   4

              Right           5,  3             5,   4

Answer:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.

Explanation:

a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is.  In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.

b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.

A difference in quantity of materials used on two comparable jobs may be caused by a.employee carelessness b.poor quality materi
Elodia [21]

Answer: d.All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

All the above can result in different quantities of materials being used for comparable jobs.

Employee Carelessness can cause more material to be used if they fail to adequately measure the Requirements of a job. If they are also careless in the usage of the material, there will be wastage and therefore a larger use of materials.

Poor Quality Materials can also result in different quantities being used because for instance, more material could be required to do something that a stronger material could have easily done.

Inadequately trained Employees is a major reason for Material Wastage. If employees are not trained by seasoned people who know how to reduce wastage, that knowledge could take time to come to them. If they were adequately trained however, they can master the tricks on wastage avoidance and limit discrepancies in the amount of materials used per comparable jobs.
