Answer:

To minimise cost, the firm should lay off worker and rent more computer as it give more output per dollar invested on it.  This reduce the fixed cost of the company drastically and increase the production of the company.  The marginal cost of production and marginal revenue are economic parameter, which help to determine the amount of output and price per unit of input that will maximise the profits. The point at which marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost maximise the profit.

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Part 1.  Compute the company%u2019s predetermined overhead rate for the year

Predetermined overhead rate  = $15 / Computer Hour

Part 2. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Underapplied Overheads are: $1,350,000 -  $900,000 = $450,000

Part 3.  Assume the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead directly to cost of goods sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry.

Cost of goods sold $450,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000 (credit)

Part 4. Company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold on the basis of the amount of overhead applied during the year that remains in each account at the end of the year:

Work In Process $18,000 (debit)

Finished Goods $73,008 (debit)

Cost of Goods Sold $315,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000(credit)

Explanation:

Part 1.  Compute the company%u2019s predetermined overhead rate for the year

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity

                                                    = $1,275,000/ 85,000

                                                    = $15 / Computer Hour

Part 2. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Applied Overheads = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate

                                 = 60,000 × $15

                                 =  $900,000

Actual Overheads = given = $1,350,000

Applied Overheads $900,000 < Actual Overheads $1,350,000, thus we have an underapplied situation

Therefore Underapplied Overheads are: $1,350,000 -  $900,000 = $450,000

Part 3.  Assume the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead directly to cost of goods sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry.

Cost of goods sold $450,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000 (credit)

Part 4. Company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold on the basis of the amount of overhead applied during the year that remains in each account at the end of the year:

Allocations:

                                         Totals          Weighted Average%       Allocation

Work In Process              $43,200                   4%                           $18,000

Finished Goods              $280,800               26%                           $73,008

Cost of Goods Sold        $756,000               70%                          $315,000

Total                                $1,080,000            100%                         $450,000

Journals:

Work In Process $18,000 (debit)

Finished Goods $73,008 (debit)

Cost of Goods Sold $315,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000(credit)

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The three examples of lighting are;

1. General lighting

2. Task lighting

3. Accent lighting

Explanation:

Lighting involves the use of electricity to serve a function. When designing a room, the type of lighting is important in achieving specific aesthetic purposes. The three examples of lighting are; General, task and accent lighting. They are further explained below;

1. General lighting

General lighting is usually meant to illuminate an entire room. It is supposed to make all corners of the room visible in it's entirety. It usually of a soft and flat nature to ensure that it looks as natural as possible. It;'s major function is to get one safely from one point to another. It's not meant for highlighting things on the space, rather the room should be viewed as one homogeneous space. A room of ambient light should give a warm feeling of relaxation especially after a stressful day. It allows the pupils to slightly dilate and also brings the mood of relaxation. Most yoga sessions usually prefer the use of ambient lighting during meditation. The following lights can be used to cause ambient light, namely; chandeliers, pendants, track, recessed and ceiling.

2. Task lighting

Task lighting usually covers a smaller area to illuminate that particular portion of the room. It is a much narrower and more concentrated type of light. Sometimes referred to as office lighting, this type of lighting works well one trying to concentrate on a specific task. They are majorly used when conducting activities that require a lot of attention that requires one to see more clearly.  The tasks can include; sewing, reading, cooking and writing. The task lighting is always effective when it is brighter than the general lighting in a room. When the lighting in the room is brighter than the task lighting, it causes a shadowy effect that affects visibility. Task lighting improves alertness by stimulating your brain to be more active and notice even finer details of your work. The following fixtures can assist in creating task lighting, namely; swing arm lamps, pendants, under cabinet and vanity.

3. Accent lighting

Accent lighting is a special type of concentrate light that serves two purposes. Accent lighting serves to illuminate specific objects or points in a room that are interesting while trying to shadow the dull parts of the same room. Accent lighting adds more flavor and drama to specific objects in a room and is mostly used on objects such as; art work, pieces of furniture, decorative book display and wall decorations. Accent lighting brings a mood of importance and sophistication towards the objects being highlighted. It is majorly used in museums, art shows and buildings with historical meaning. To create accent lighting, the following lights are recommended; Recessed, Wall lights, Landscape and Track.
