Answer:

The amount to be paid for the contract today = $220,908.32

Explanation:

<em>The amount to be paid for the contract today will be equal to the present value of the annuity of $22,500 payable for 20 years discounted at a rate of 8% per annum.</em>

Present Value = A ×( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- 22,500, r- rate of return - 8%, n -no of years 20 years

PV = 22,500 ×( 1-(1.08)^(-20) )/ 0.08

PV = 22,500 ×9.8181

PV = $220,908.32

The amount to be paid for the contract today = $220,908.32

Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate, using each of the following allocation bases: (a) direct labor hours and (
Fofino [41]

Answer and Explanation:

1.

The direct labor overhead rate using the direct labor hours is shown below:-

Direct labor overhead rate = Total overheads ÷ Direct labor hours

= $220,800 ÷ 1,725

= $128

b. The machine hour overhead rate using the machine hours is

= Total overhead ÷ Machine hours

= $220,800 ÷ 4,600

= $48

2.

The factory overhead costs using direct labor hour is

Particulars             Automobile       Valve        Wheels        Total

                                bumpers           covers

Direct labor            

hours                        730                 480                515

Overhead rate         $128               $128              $128

Total                        $ 93,440        $61,440        $65,920     $220,800

For determining the total overhead we simply multiply the direct labor hours with overhead rate.

The factory overhead costs using machine hour is

Particulars             Automobile       Valve        Wheels        Total

                                bumpers           covers

Machine hours          1,970               1,270         1,360

Overhead rate            $48                  $48              $48

Total overhead        $94,560         $60,960    $65,280      $220,800

For determining the total overhead we simply multiply the machine hours with overhead rate.

The labor force includes rev: 05_30_2018 Multiple Choice employed workers but excludes persons who are officially unemployed. pe
butalik [34]

Answer:

employed workers and persons who are officially unemployed

Explanation:

The labor force is the force that involves the labors who are employed and the unemployed i.e. officially

In an equation, it can be

Labor force = Employed workers + unemployed workers

It is a combination of both the employed and the unemployed workers

hence, the correct option is third

Therefore all the other options are wrong as they do not meet the criteria of the labor force

Keren Wiseman is an employee of Dimensionworks Designs in New Mexico. She received the following achievement awards from her emp
puteri [66]

Answer:

$2,300

Explanation:

Assuming that the requirements for qualified plan awards are otherwise satisfied, each award by itself would be excluded from income.

The excludable amount or deduction is $1,600 out of total amount of awards.

Total amount of awards = Design + Graphic + Employee  of the year

                                         = $1,340 + $1,775 + $785

                                          = $3,900

Taxable awards = Total amount of awards – Excludable amount

                            = $3,900 – $1,600

                             = $2,300

However, because the $3,900 total value of the awards is more than $1,600, Keren must include $2,300 in his taxable income.

In business, managers and employees are faced with many decisions. Management writer Ken Blanchard and religious leader Norman V
QveST [7]

Answer: In order to answer this, we must first add the options. They are as follows:

A. Am I acting fairly?

B. Is it balanced?

C. How will it make me feel about myself?

D. Will it help me further my career?

E. Is it legal?

The correct option is D. Will it help me further my career. This is a question that should NOT be asked when facing an ethical dilemma.

Explanation:

Ethics are moral principal that guide one's actions and attitudes. Now, all the options above can be properly weighed using ethical standards.

An Ethical dilemma is a situation in which a choice must be made between two options, neither of which will resolve the situation in an ethically acceptable manner.

We will analyze the options one after the other.

Let us start with option A. Am I acting fairly?

When faced with an ethical dilemma, one good question to ask is if an individual is acting fairly, that is, are they acting according to accepted ethical standards? If one's actions go contrary to ethics, then they should probably not undertake such an action. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option B. Is it balanced?

Balance here talks about equality. In this case this question looks at whether the action will favour one party over another, or if it will favour everyone equally. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option C. How will it make me feel about myself?

This question looks at the after effect of an action, if the action will make you feel good or bad about yourself later on. If the action will make you feel good, then it should be undertaken, but if it will make you feel bad, it should not be undertaken. Therefore, this question SHOULD BE ASKED.

Option D. Will it help me further my career? (Correct option)

This is a wrong question to ask when experiencing an ethical dilemma because it is not a question about ethics or morals, only career advancement, and it does not focus on the right or wrong of an action. Also, this is a selfish question to ask and it does not take into consideration the effect that the action will have on others. This question should therefore, NOT BE ASKED, because it is not a proper reflection of one's ethics.

Option E. Is it legal?

This question looks at the legality of an action, therefore illegal actions should not be undertaken, while legal actions should be pursued. This is a question that SHOULD BE ASKED.
