We are given the different rates and charges and is asked in the problem the unknown tax rate she pays on meals if the total cost of the trip is equal ot $420.04. In this case, the equation goes: 
80 x 3 + 80 x 0.1 x 3 + 80 x 0.09 x 3 + 109.3 x 1.15 + 109. 3 x z = 420.04
z = 0.08

Answer:

c. 8%

Explanation:

first find the total room cost, and the tax and tip.

80 x 3 = $240 - 3 night rate

240 x 0.10 = $24 - maid tip

240 x 0.09 = $21.60 - room tax

then find the tip on the food.

109.30 x 0.15 = $16.40 - food tip

add it all together and subtract that from the total.

240 + 24 + 21.6 + 109.3 + 16.4 = 411.30 - total without the food tax

420.04 - 411.30 = 8.74 - food tax

now check each of the answers against the amount for the food tax.

109.30 x 0.06 = 6.56

109.30 x 0.07 = 7.65

109.30 x 0.08 = 8.74

109.30 x 0.09 = 9.84

So, the answer is C. 8%

Lunchco Inc. produces picnic tables in a two-step process. Pretreated wood is cut in the Cutting Department and then the lumber
babunello [35]

Answer: company’s direct labor budget = $320000

Explanation:

Given that,

Standard hourly labor rate in the Cutting Department = $12

It takes 30 minutes of direct labor time to cut the lumber

Tables take one hour to assemble

Standard hourly rate in the Assembly Department = $10

Lunchco’s production budget = 20,000

Cutting Department =  production budget × direct labor time × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 0.5 hours/unit × $12/unit

= $120000

Assembly Department = production budget × Tables take one hour to assemble  × Standard hourly labor rate

= 20000 × 1 hour/unit × $10/unit

= $200000

Therefore,

company’s direct labor budget = Assembly Department + Cutting Department

= 200000 + 120000

= $320000

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Activity-based department costs

Explanation:

Activity Based Costing refers to a method : that allocates the cost of activities in organisation among produced goods & services, in proportion to that activity consumed by each good & service.

The model is  a better representative of particular goods & services production costs, unlike conventional cost methods - that divide the activity cost among each good or service equally. It assigns more indirect (overhead) costs into direct costs compared to Conventional Costing.

So, the approach states that overhead to products, supporting department costs - are referred to as <u>Activity Based</u> Department Costs
