Answer:
Explanation:
Overhead allocated to Product X = Department A overhead cost+ Department B overhead cost
= $51,157.84+$5755.62=
= $56,913
Calculations:
Using a single-driver allocation system, with direct labor hours as the driver, how much overhead was allocated to Product X:
Department A's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours = $4300000/60000 hours = $71.66 per hour
Overhead (Department A) = $71.66per hour*724 labor hours
= $51,157.84
Department B's Overhead rate per labor hour = Overhead costs/Total direct labor hours = $2200000/60000 hours = $36.66 per hour
Overhead (Department A) = $36.66 per hour*157 labor hours
= $5755.62
Answer:
(B) Increase both assets and equity by $180
Explanation:
The transaction analysis model tells us that:
Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity
Owner's equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings
Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends
and
Net Income = Income − Expenses
The expanded accounting equation is obtain if all substitutions are made:
Asset = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income – Expenses − Dividends
In the Global Cleaning Service`s case:
Assets are increased either because the service is collected or is an account receivable. As the service provided is a revenue (income) is part of the Owner's Equity that also increase. Both, Asset and Owner's Equity, increase in 180.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. The monetary base.
Explanation:
The Monetary Base is made up of all legal money in circulation (that is, bills and coins), added to the reserves of commercial banks in the central bank. In other words, it is the legal money issued by the Central Bank of a country and can be in the hands of the public, or else in the cashier of the different commercial banks that the financial sector of the country. The monetary base is monitored by the central bank and constitutes its main way to control the money supply. Also another way to define the monetary base is that they constitute the monetary liabilities of the central bank.
Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
Answer:
The correct answer is normative analysis.
Explanation:
A positive analysis is the one that attempts to reflect reality with statements of cause and effect and is used mainly in microeconomics. On the other hand, a normative analysis, in which reality is prescribed, that is, we go beyond explanation and prediction, value judgments are used.
In contrast to the positive analysis, the normative analysis responds how the law should achieve efficiency objectives. This analysis assumes that efficiency is an objective that law should reflect and that legal norms should change when they fail. From this perspective, efficiency is a social value that the Law should promote.
