Amberjack Company is trying to decide on an allocation base to use to assign manufacturing overhead to jobs. The company has alw

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated Value Actual Value

Manufacturing overhead cost $732,000 $842,000

Direct labor hours 14,640 hours 16,600 hours

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 732,000 / 14,640

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $50 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 50*16,600

Allocated MOH= $830,000

Finally, the over/under allocation:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 842,000 - 830,000

Underapplied overhead= $12,000

CS = Credit Sales = $500,000

CH = Cash Sales = $500,000

SM = Percentage Sales Method = 5% = 0.05

U = Uncollectible = $25,000

AR = Accounts Receivable = $200,000

ADA = Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = ?

Calculations:

ADA = U - BB = $25,000 - $1,000 = $24,000

Net Realizable Cash Value = AR - ADA = $200,000 - $24,000 = $176,000

Balance in the Allowance Account after the adjusting entry = BB + ADA = $1,000 + $24,000 = $25,000

Journal entry:

Cross price elasticity measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of a good to the changes in price of another good.

If the cross price elasticity is negative, the goods are complementary goods.

If the cross price elasticitiy is low the firm has market power. It means that it's consumers do not change the quantity demanded when the price of the good changes

If the cross price elasticitiy is high, the market has low market power.
