Answer:

b.$487,900.

Explanation:

Underapplied overhead occurs when the actual amount of manufacturing overhead incurred is higher than expected.

Since the manufacturing overhead for the year was underapplied by $23,540 in the question, the estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead can be calculated just deducting $23,540 form the actual as follows:

Estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year =  $511,440 - $23,540 = $487,900.

FinnZ [79.3K]
In this problem we are given the mean of $1100, SD of $150 and x equal to $900. In this case, we need to use the z-score table to answer the problem: 
z = (x-mean)/sd
z = (900-1100)/150
z = -1.33
from z-table, the probability at the left of z= -1.33 is equal to 9.18%

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

73,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of equivalent units for conversion costs is shown below:-

Equivalent units = Units transferred ÷ Finished goods + (Units in closing Work in progress × Percentage of completion)

= (8,000 + 69,000 - 5,000) + (5,000 × 20%)

= 72,000 + 1,000

= 73,000 units

Therefore for computing the Equivalent units we simply applied the above formula.

Which of the following costs is a mixed cost?
koban [17]

Answer:

3. Rental costs of $5,000 per month plus $.30 per machine hour of use

Explanation:

Mixed cost is the one which has both the factors, variable and fixed.

Sometimes, the segregation is also difficult, when the total cost is given.

In the chosen option also, there is a fixed cost involved that is monthly expense of $5,000.

Further for each hour of machine used the cost increases and is $0.30 per hour.

That is variable as the total will depend upon the number of hours the machine is used.

All the other three are either completely fixed like salary, and depreciation, or either completely variable like electricity cost.

If the expected path of 1-year interest rates over the next five years is 2 percent, 4 percent, 1 percent, 4 percent, and 3 perc
timofeeve [1]

Answer:A) one year

Explanation: The unbiased expectations theory, also known as the expectation theory aims to estimate how much the short term interest rates will amount to in future. This is based on long term interest rates. Forward rates are used to predict the value of interests in the future based on the values calculated today. A maturity of 1 year has the lowest interest rate because it is not given enough time to grow. Interest rates tend to grow better over a longer period of time. Therefore in terms of expectation theory the longer the maturity the better the chances of interest rate growth.
