Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated factory overhead:

fabrication, $448,000

assembly, $180,000

setup, $222,600

inspection, $189,000

Fabrication Assembly Setup Inspection

Speedboat 7,000 dlh 22,500 dlh 50 setups 88 inspections

Bass boat 21,000 7,500 370 612

28,000 dlh 30,000 dlh 420 setups 700 inspections

Each product is budgeted for 5,000 units of production for the year.

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity using the following formula:

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

fabrication= 448,000/28,000= $16 per direct labor hour

assembly= 180,000/30,000= $6 per direct labor hour

setup= 222,600/420= $530 per setup

inspection= 189,000/700= $270 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product line:

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

Speed boat:

Allocated MOH= 7,000*16 + 22,500*6 + 50*530 + 88*270= $297,260

Bass boat:

Allocated MOH= 21,000*16 + 7,500*6 + 370*530 + 612*270= $742,340

Finally, the unitary overhead cost:

Speed boat= 297,260/5,000= $59.45

Bass boat= 742,340/5,000= $148.47

yan [13]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

When we are talking about building brand equity, we are talking about increasing our customers' perception and value of our brand or company's name. Building brand equity emphasizes the brand itself over any specific product or service that our company offers. E.g. Rolls Royce is the most luxurious car manufacturer in the world, and they built brand equity upon luxury in all its vehicles, not one specific car.

In this case, Travelwell is emphasizing a characteristic that should apply to all its product line, not just one specific type of luggage.

ira [324]

Answer:

By the midpoint formula, his income elasticity of demand for pro football game tickets is equal to +3, and football game tickets are normal goods.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating income elasticity of demand using the midpoint method is:

income elasticity of demand = {change in quantity demanded / [(old quantity + new quantity) / 2]} / {change in income / [(old income + new income) / 2]}

= {2 / [(2 + 4) / 2]} / {10,000 / [(40,000 + 50,000) / 2]} = (2 / 3) / (10,000 / 45,000) = 0.67 / 0.222 = 3

when the income elasticity of demand is higher than 1, the goods are normal goods.
