Answer:
Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables
Explanation:
Vegetables Chicken Trade Off Ratio
John 40 10 4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)
George 25 5 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)
John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :
- John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
- George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).
So, John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.
- It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
- Unitary method:- '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .
Answer:
A) $2.50 per direct labor-hour
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)
where,
Estimated manufacturing overhead = Rent on factory building + Depreciation on factory equipment + Indirect labor + Production Supervisor's salary
= $15,000 + $8,000 + $12,000 + $15,000
= $50,000
And, the estimated direct labor hours is 20,000
So, the rate is
= $50,000 ÷ 20,000
= $2.5 per direct labor-hour
Answer: um... Imma say 6 i guess i don't really know
Explanation:
Answer: c. Difference in budgeted costs and actual costs of fixed overhead items.
Explanation:
If a company uses a Predetermined rate for Manufacturing Overhead this means that they have budgeted a certain cost of overhead that they believe will be sufficient for production. This is usually possible for fixed overhead items.
The Variance therefore would be the difference between this budgeted figure and the actual figure for the fixed Overhead items.
