Answer:

What is the firm's degree of operating leverage?

the degree of operating leverage measures the proportion of fixed costs vs. variable costs

total fixed costs = $30,000,000

contribution margin per hard drive = selling price - variable cost = $200 - $140 = $60

tax rate = 30%

expected sales = 2,000,000 hard drives

degree of operating leverage =  contribution margin / (total sales - total costs) = (2,000,000 x $60) / ($400,000,000 - $280,000,000 - $30,000,000) = $120,000,000 / $90,000,000 = 1.33

DOL = 1.33

If the economy enters a recession, what will be the firm's after tax profit?

firm's EBIT = total revenue - variable costs - fixed costs

  • total revenue = 1,000,000 x $200 = $200,000,000
  • total variable costs = 1,000,000 x $140 = $140,000,000
  • total fixed costs = $30,000,000

EBIT = $200,000,000 - $140,000,000 - $30,000,000 = $30,000,000

firm's after tax profit = EBIT x (1 - tax rate) = $30,000,000 x (1 - 30%) = $21,000,000

firm's after tax profit = $21,000,000

nignag [31]

Answer:

$9,400

Explanation:

We know,

predetermined overhead rate for machine hour = \frac{total overhead cost}{total machine hour}

Given,

Total overhead cost = $690,900

Total machine hours = 1,470

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

predetermined overhead rate for machine hour = \frac{690,900}{1,470}

predetermined overhead rate for machine hour = $470

When we use a separate job, the overhead cost will be = predetermined overhead rate × total hours used by the job.

The amount of overhead should be applied to Job 65A if that job uses 20 machine hours during January  = 20 hours × $470 = $9,400
