Society suffers a deadweight loss in a pure-monopoly market because
nekit [7.7K]
A pure-monoply means that a company does not have to compete with other producers within the market. Since they aren't competing with a good or service, they aren't competing with each others customers either. When a company does not have to compete on price/customers they may end up being greedy and have market failure.

Spencer Inc. applies overhead to production at a predetermined rate of 80% based on direct labor cost. Job No. 130, the only job
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Direct material= $5,600

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the direct labor added to Work in Process:</u>

Direct labor= allocated overhead / predetermined overhead rate

Direct labor= 6,400 / 0.8

Direct labor= $8,000

<u>Now, by difference, the direct materials:</u>

Direct material= Ending balance - allocated overhead - direct labor

Direct material= 20,000 - 6,400 - 8,000

Direct material= $5,600
