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 $

Crazy boy [7]

All of the following ways that consumer behavior is influenced by laws that are passed by federal, state, and municipal governments, with the exception of, providing incentives to purchase specific brands over others.

<h3>What are the many governmental levels?</h3>

The federal government, state governments, and municipal governments are the three tiers of governance in the United States.

The U.S. Constitution grants Congress, the President, and the Federal courts, respectively, the authority to act as the legislative, executive, and judicial departments of the federal government. Three branches make up the federal government, which is the main and highest level of government in the US.

The first tier or level of democratic government is the Panchayati Raj system. Since the members of the Gram Sabha chose the Panch and the Gram Panchayat, they are accountable to the Gram Sabha.

A salamander relies on hydrogen bonding to stick to various surfaces. therefore, a salamander would have the greatest difficulty clinging to a <u>surface of hydrocarbons</u><u>.</u>

<h3>What is a hydrogen bonding?</h3>

It refers to the interaction involving a hydrogen atom located between a pair of other atoms having a high affinity for electrons, such bond are weaker than an ionic bond or covalent bond but stronger than van der Waals forces.

They can exist between atoms in different molecules or in parts of the same molecule. One atom of the pair such as a fluorine, nitrogen or oxygen atom, is covalently bonded to a hydrogen atom whose electrons it shares unequally.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a framing bias

Explanation:

Framing bias occurs when a person chooses an option based on whether it was presented in positive or negative terms. There is tendency to avoid risk on positive presentation, and seek risk on negative presentation. It is a form of cognitive bias.

On this scenario Bayram is to choose between two investments. One was said to have 30% chance of success and the other a 70% chance of failure.

Although both investments have the same risk and benefit Bayram chose the one that was presented as 30% chance of success.

This phenomenon of choosing based on positive presentation is called framing bias.
