Answer and Explanation:
The consequences of given transactions are as follows
a. Revenues rise by $3.2 million as the firm received an order
b. Earnings rise by $1.5 million as the firm received an order and it filled by an orders i,e ($3.2 - $1.7)
c. Receivables rise by $1.80 million as it determines the remaining balance which ultimately increased the receivable balance
d. Inventory declined by $1.7 million as the order is filled which ultimately declines the stock
e. The cash would rise by $1.4 million
= Earnings - receivable + inventory
= $1.5 million - $1.80 million + $1.7 million
= $1.4 million
Answer:
Katie Kwasi's Utility Function
The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:
= 40 units of x1
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2
Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:
= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2
= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2
Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2
b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint. If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.
Answer: 33.3%
Explanation: The predetermined overhead rate allocates the manufacturing overhead to products. This is based on an estimate, as it is done at the beginning of the financial year. It uses an allocation base, which is usually a cost driver. A cost driver is a type of activity that causes a change in the cost of said activity. Examples of cost drivers usually used are: direct labour hours or machine hours.
The formula for calculating the predetermined overhead rate is:
Total estimated overhead costs ÷ total estimated overhead allocation base (estimated direct labour costs is used)
300 000 ÷ 900 000 = 0.33333 × 100 = 33.3%
I think it’s 3 and 4 as the answer.
