Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Dining Chairs - Tables - Total cost

Machine setups: 200 - 600 - $48,000

Inspections: 250 - 470 - $72,000

Labor hours: 2,600 - 2,400

A) A single overhead rate:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (48,000 + 72,000) / (2,600 + 2,400)= $24 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead based on direct labor hours:

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

Dining Chairs:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,600= $62,400

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 24*2,400= $57,600

B) We have to calculate an overhead rate for each activity cost pool.

<u>Overhead rate:</u>

Machine setups:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 48,000/800= $60 per machine hour set up

Inspections:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 72,000/ 720= $100 per inspection

Based on the overhead rate, we can allocate overhead to each product.

Dining chairs:

Allocated MOH= 60* 200 + 100*250= $37,000

Tables:

Allocated MOH= 60*600 + 100*470= $83,000

C) We can conclude that activity cost allocation is more accurate than using a single rate plant-wide. We can allocate costs more efficiently.

Consider a portfolio of stocks X, Y, Z whose returns in various economic conditions are set forth below.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The expected return is 10.95%

Explanation:

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF X

State _____Probability __X_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______22%  ___5.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______15%  ___ 9.00%

Recession _0.15 _______5% ___ <u>0.75%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>15.25%</u>

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF Y

State _____Probability __Y_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______10%  ___ 2.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______9%  ____5.40%

Recession _0.15 _______8% ___ <u>1.20%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>9.10%</u>

Now calculate the weighted average return based on investment in each portfolio

Expected return = ( Expected return of Assets X x Weight of Asset X ) + ( Expected return of Assets Y x Weight of Asset Y )  

Expected return = ( 15.25% x $3000/$10000 ) + ( 9.10% x $7000/$10000 )  

Expected return = 4.575% + 6.370%

Expected return = 10.945%

Expected return = 10.95%

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

$210

Explanation:

Given:

Total budget = $1,685

Amount spent on small improvements = $425

The budget left after spending on small improvements

= Total budget - Amount spent on small improvements

= $1,685 - $425

= $1,260

Now,

the budget left is the maximum budget for the all 6 interior doors

Thus,

6 × max budget for single door = $1,260

or

Max budget for single door = $210

One result of earnings management is:a.It brings into question the quality of earningsb.It uses a non-GAAP financial measure to
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. It brings into question the quality of earnings.

Explanation:

It will be taken as management to the action of administering in the most efficient way to that profit that we obtained. When talking about efficiency, it points to the idea that money made up of profit must be spent intelligently.

To understand that not all money from a profit must be spent on personal matters. This does not mean that a certain part is not destined for it, because otherwise there will be no motivation to generate profit on a personal level. That is why it is important to know how to distribute the profit obtained in the most intelligent way possible. For this you only have to allocate 60% (the percentage is estimated the same can vary), to spend the money of a profit on personal expenses. Then one wonders what will happen with the remaining 40% (estimated percentage)? This is where intelligence comes in to manage the profit, this percentage must be used for reinvestment and also to form a contingency fund. This seeks to generate a multiplier effect of the capital earned and also form a "cushion" (savings) for when things are not right.

This type of profit management can be applied either at the company level: where part of the profit is reinvested to grow the business. And in turn it forms a contingency fund for any mishap that can be generated over time.
