Answer:

January Overheads are <u>under-applied</u> by $2,000.

Explanation:

When,

Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.

Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.

Where,

Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity

Therefore,

Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000

                                                = $48,000

Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.

Conclusion

It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.

Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000

                                                             = $2,000

What will happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of airline fares as a result of the following two simultaneous changes (a
marin [14]

Answer:

Equilibrium quantity would increase. there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price

Explanation:

If fewer people go on vacation fewer people would board planes. As a result, the demand curve for planes would shift inwards. This would lead to a decrease in equilibrium price and quantity.

As a result of the higher cost of providing services, fewer planes would be in operation. This would lead to an inward shift of the supply curve. Equilibrium price would increase and equilibrium quantity would decrease.  

Taking this two effects together, equilibrium quantity would increase. there would be an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price.

2.

The U.S. criminal justice system has been politicized and more responsive to popular opinion, experts said. The United States also functions as 51 separate countries, because so many of the criminal justice decisions are made at the local and state levels. Legal officers like(Justice, sheriffs, prosecutors, legislators voting on crime laws, have supported the "get tough" policies that makes punishment stricter for offenders.

3. High rates in crime and killings.

Pierce Company incurred $150,000 of research and development costs in its laboratory to develop a new product. It spent $20,000
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

A. $35,000

Explanation:

The first $150,000 were invested in research and development of the product itself, not the patent. Thus, this amount should be debited to research and development expenses.

The only expenses directly related to the patent itself are the $20,000 spent on legal fees on January 2, 2017, and the $15,000 for legal fees in a successful defense of the patent on July 31, 2017.

Therefore, the total amount that should be debited to Patents (P) is:

P = $20,000 + $15,000 = $35,000

Olivia is considering working a secretary job for a small law firm. Given the opportunity costs of working the job, she will not
SOVA2 [1]

What would likely raise Olivia's reservation wage is if Olivia learns that the job is more challenging than she initially thought

Reservation price is the least amount of wage that a worker would be willing to accept for services rendered.

<em><u>Factors that lead to changes in reservation wages</u></em>

  • Finances: a worker that is in debt or in desperate need of money would have a lower reservation wage when compared with a person that is debt-free. For example, the reservation wage of a billionaire would be higher than the reservation wage of an homeless individual.
  • Nature of the job: the more challenging a job is, the higher the reservation wage that would be demanded by a worker.
  • Length of unemployment: the longer a person has been unemployed for, the lower the reservation wage.
