Answer: $5 per machine hour
Explanation:
Given the following :
Estimated manufacturing overhead cost = $550,000
Expected machine-hour to be incurred = 110,000
Actual manufacturing overhead = $575,000
Actual machine hour incurred = 120,000
The manufacturing overhead application rate:
Expected manufacturing overhead cost / Expected machine hour to be incurred
= $550,000 / 110,000 machine hour
= $5 per machine hour
Answer: Martha does not have a dominant strategy
Explanation:
A dominant strategy is one that a player can embark on and get the highest payoff regardless of the actions of their competitor.
In this scenario, there is no strategy that Martha can embark on that would provide the greatest payout regardless of Oleg's decision. If Martha advertises, Oleg makes the same amount advertising as well. If Martha does not advertise, Oleg would decide not to advertise as well and make the same amount.
Martha therefore has no dominant strategy as Oleg would make the same amount regardless of which decision is taken.
Answer:
$4.50
Explanation:
In order to make a profit from the futures contracts, it would be appropriate to take a long position in the June futures contract(buy) and take a short position in the December futures contract.
The investor would borrow $60 today which would necessitate paying back $60 plus a half-year in interest payment.
loan repayment=$60*(1+5%/2)=$ 61.50
In December, sell crude oil at $66 and repay the loan principal and interest
profit=$66-$61.50=$4.50
