1 answer:

4 0

Data:
A (amount) = ?
P (Principal) = $ 4000
r (rate) = 6% → 0.06
t (time) = 2 years

Formula:
$A = P(1+r*t)$

Solving:
$A = P(1+r*t)$
$A = 4000(1+0.06*2)$
$A = 4000(1+0.12)$
$A = 4000*1.12$
$\boxed{\boxed{A = \$\:4480}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Larry's Lawn Care incurs significant gasoline costs. This cost would be classified as a variable cost if the total gasoline cost

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Increases in direct proportion to the number of hours the lawn equipment is operated.

Explanation:

Variable costs refer to those costs which vary or change with the level of production output. Such costs rise as production level increases and fall with decrease in the production level.

Examples of variable costs would include direct labor cost which varies with the number of hours worked, or sales commission which varies w.r.t the volume of sales effected by a salesperson.

In the given case, the cost incurred on gasoline, which is used as fuel for lawn equipment, would be classified as a variable cost if, such cost increases when lawn equipment is operated for more hours or falls when the same equipment is operated for lesser number of hours.

Thus, such costs should increase in direct proportion to the number of hours the lawn equipment is operared, to be classified as a variable cost.

Sheridan Publishing identified the following overhead activities, their respective costs, and their cost drivers to produce the

Ber [7]

Answer:

Deluxe= $4.25 per book

Moderate= $4.25 per book

Economy= $4.25 per book

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity (Cost) Cost Driver Delux Moderate Economy

Machine maintenance ($330,000) machine hours 250 750 1,000

Setups ($630,000)

Packing ($166,000)

Photo development ($574,000)

First, we need to calculate the total overhead cost:

Total overhead= 330,000 + 630,000 + 166,000 + 574,000= 1,700,000

Now, we can calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate to allocate overhead to each book type.

The allocation base is machine-hours.

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,700,000/ 2,000= $850 per machine hour.

Now, we can allocate overhead to each book:

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

Deluxe= $850*250hours= $212,500

Moderate= $850*750hours= $637,500

Economy= $850*1,000= $850,000

Based on the number of units, we can calculate the unitary overhead:

Deluxe= $212,500/50,000= $4.25 per book

Moderate= $637,500/150,000= $4.25 per book

Economy= $850,000/200,000= $4.25 per book
