The contribution margin approach helps managers in short-tern decision making because it reports costs and revenues at their current value.
The contribution margin ratio/approach allows companies to determine their profits they can make from a product minus variable costs.
Answer:
E To prevent dumping
Explanation:
There are several arguments that are given to support trade barriers; one of which is to prevent dumping. A country would place embargo on imports with respect to some of the goods that are produced in her country. This is to enable and encourage local production of such goods. Where a country permits importation of goods that are produced locally, such action could being down the efforts of local production ; hence local industries might not thrive in terms of production.
Also, placing embargo on the importation of goods that are produced locally in a country would take away the possibility of making the country for dumping ground in terms of goods that are not up to standard, produced in a foreign country and same would have been imported.
Answer:
$27.2
Explanation:
First we have to calculate the total estimated manufacturing overheads which shall be determined as follows:
Estimated total manufacturing overheads=Variable manufacturing overhead+ Fixed manufacturing overheads
Variable manufacturing overhead=Estimated labour hours*manufacturing overhead per labour hour
=75,000*$10.70=$802,500
Fixed manufacturing overheads=$1,237,500
Estimated total manufacturing overheads=$802,50+$1,237,500
=$2,040,000
Now we will compute the predetermined overhead rate which shall be determined using the following formula:
Predetermined overhead rate=Estimated total manufacturing overheads/Estimated labour hours
Predetermined overhead rate=$2,040,000/75,000=$27.2
