Bentley estimates manufacturing overhead of $3,251,600 for 2013 and will apply overhead to units produced based on 739,000 machi
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $3,251,600

Estimated machine-hours= 739,000

During 2013, Bentley used $1,640,000 of raw materials, paid $5,335,800 of direct labor, generated 734,000 machine hours, and produced 2,190,000 units.

<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= 3,251,600/739,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $4.4 per machine hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>

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

Allocated MOH= 4.4*734,000= $3,229,600

<u>Finally, we can determine the total cost and unitary cost:</u>

Total cost= 1,640,000 + 5,335,800 + 3,229,600= $10,205,400

Unitary cost= 10,205,400/2,190,000= $4.66 per unit

Suppose that your school pays one rate for the first one million kilowatts of electricity and a lower rate for any power it uses
Serhud [2]

Answer: b. second degree price discrimination

Since the school pays a different rate for the first million kilowatts consumed and a lower rate for any consumption over a million kilowatts, second degree price discrimination is at play.

When corporations or businesses sell the same product to different customers at different prices, with a view to maximize profits, price discrimination is said to occur.

There are three types of price discrimination -

First Degree price discrimination

Second Degree price discrimination

Third Degree price discrimination

First degree price discrimination occurs when the supplier sells the goods at a price the customer is willing to pay for the good.

Second Degree price discrimination occurs when the supplier establishes slabs for different quantities of goods sold. In this case, the supplier will offer a higher per unit cost for lower quantity of goods, and a lower per unit cost for a higher quantity of goods

Third degree price discrimination occurs when a firm is able to clearly divide its markets into segments. The products are positioned in each segment in a different manner.

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The flood shifts the supply to the left.

The increase in healthcare costs shifts the supply curve to the left.

Explanation:

An increase in the cost of production inputs (increase in health costs) or a decrease in the availability of resources (the flood reduced the firm's production capability), will shift the supply curve to the left.

A leftward shift of the supply curve will lower the quantity supplied and will increase the price of the good at every level of demand.

Selected information from the accounting records of Ellison Manufacturing Company follows:
Amanda [17]

Answer:

b. 94.9

Explanation:

The computation of the number of days' sales in average inventories is shown below:

Day inventory outstanding = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2  ÷ cost of goods sold × total number of days in a year

= ($672,000 + $576,000) ÷ 2 ÷ $2,400,000 × 365 days

= ($624,000 ÷ $2,400,000 ) × 365 days

= 94.90 days

Simply we take the average of inventory and divide from the costs of goods sold

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
