Due to the decrease in the level of water in the lakes of Chapel Hill, the local government wants to reduce the consumption of t

Answer:

The correct answer is the first option: To impose a minimun price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater thant the actual price.

Explanation:

To begin with, if the local government is looking forward to reduce the consumption of the tap water due to the decrease in the level of water in the lakes of Chapel Hill, then it must impose a minimum price per gallon of tap water consumed that is five cents greater than the actual price <u>due to the fact that when the citizens continue to consume the tap water they will have to pay 5 cents more every time the exceed the gallon of water consumed</u>, therefore <em><u>paying more than one time the 5 cents extra</u></em> in the consumption instead of paying just one single time the 5 cents due to the simple consumption of water as it is suggested in the other option.

To sum up, if the government charges 5 cents more every gallon of water then the people will decrease their consumption because everytime they passed the gallon of water then they will have to pay another extra 5 cents and so on.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Allocated MOH per unit= $45.94

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product Number of Units Labor Hours Per Unit

Blinks 1,178 2  

Dinks 2,060 3

Estimated overhead costs for the period= 108,300 + 87,800= $196,100

Total direct labor hours= (1,178*2) + (2,060*3)= 8,536

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 196,100 / 8,536

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $22.97 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we allocate overhead to Blinks:</u>

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

Allocated MOH= 22.97*2= $45.94

Mott Company's sales mix is 3 units of A, 2 units of B, and 1 unit of C. Selling prices for each product are $34, $44, and $54,
Airida [17]

The break even point in composite units is 5000 units.

Break even point

The Break-even point  is calculated by dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit.

For this sales mix, the contribution margin per unit is the aggregate of each contribution margin. Contribution margin is calculated by subtracting variable cost from the selling price  

Contribution margin  for A is $20- $12 = $8  x 3 units

Contribution margin for B is  $ 30 - $18 = $12 x 2 units

Contribution margin for C is $40 -$24= $16  x 1 unit

Total contribution margin per unit will be

(8 x 3) x (12 x 2 ) x( $16 x 1)= $64

Break-even point = $320,000 /64
