Answer: 0.1282

Explanation:

Total number of possible outcome( total candidates) = 13

Total number of men = 13 - 8 = 5

Total number of women = 8

Number of candidates to be selected = 2

Find the probability that both are men :

Probability of 1st candidate being a male = required outcome ÷ total possible outcome = 5/13

Probability of second candidate being a male, means we now have 4 men left and a total of 12 = 4/12

Therefore, P = (5/13) × (4/12)

P = (5/13) ×(1/3) = 5/39 = 0.1282

Misterio Company uses a standard costing system. During the past quarter, the following variances were computed:
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1. Total hours allowed = 40,000

  Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.

2. Standard hourly rate = $10

   Actual rate = $10.2

3. Actual output= 20,000 units

Explanation:

The variable overhead efficiency variance in hours= variable overhead efficiency variance in Dollar/Variable overhead standard rate

= $24,000/$2= 12,000 hours unfavorable

Let the actual hours be V

Let the standard hours for the actual output achieved be = V

The actual hours worked = 130% of the standard hours allowed

Actual hours =130% × V = 1.3V

1.3V - V= 12,000

V=12000/0.3=40,000

Total hours allowed = 40,000

Actual labour hours= 130%× 40,000=52,000

Total hours allowed = 40,000

Actual direct labour hours worked = 52,000.

Standard labour rate =

Labour effciency variance in Dollar /Labour efficiency variance in hours

= 120,000/12,000=$10

Standard hourly rate = $10

Rate variance = (Actual rate - standard rate)× Actual hours

Let the actual rate be = Y

      10,400   = ( Y - 10) × 52,000

10,400= 52000Y- 520,000

Y= (520,000 + 10,400)/52,000=10.2

Actual rate = $10.2

Standard labour hours for actual output = Actual output × standard hours

Let the actual output be = m

40,000 = m × 2

m= 40,000/2= 20,000 units

Actual output= 20,000 units

Joe Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $19,950 and variable expens
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

Calculation to determine overall break-even point for the entire company

Contribution margin for C90B = ($19,950-

$5,985)/$19,950

Contribution margin for C90B = 70%

Contribution margin for Y45E =( $26,190- $10,476)/$26,190

Contribution margin for Y45E= 60%

Therefore Based on the above calculation if the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company

Would DECREASE reason been that C90B have more contribution margin ratio of 70% compare to Y45E which had contribution margin ratio of 60%

Rice company has a unit selling price of $520, variable costs per unit of $286, and fixed costs of $163,800. compute the break-e
larisa [96]
Selling price = p = 520
variable cost per unit = vc = 286
fixed cost = fc = 163,800.
unit sold = x

520 * x = 286 * x + 163,800
520x = 286x + 163,8000
520x - 286x = 163,800
234x = 163,800

x = 163,800 / 234 = 700 units to reach break even point.
unit contribution margin = p - vc = 520 - 286 = 234 per unit.

merchandise is sold for cash. the selling price of the merchandise is $2,600, and the sale is subject to a 6% state sales tax. t
love history [14]

The journal entry for the sale would include a credit to sales tax payable for $156 if the selling price of the merchandise is $2600.

The government levies a consumption tax known as a sales tax on the purchase of goods and services. At the point of sale, a standard sales tax is imposed, collected by the retailer, and paid to the government. Companies must first apply for a sales tax permit from their state's department of taxation in order to be able to collect sales tax from customers. Every time a customer makes a purchase, businesses collect sales tax, which they subsequently monthly or quarterly send to the state.

As the selling price of the merchandise is $2,600 and the state sales tax is 6%, this means that 6% of $2,600 has to be paid to the state governing body.

Sales tax = 6% of 2600

Sales tax = 6/100 × 2600

Sales tax = 0.06 × 2600

Sales tax = $156

Therefore; the entry to journalize the sale would include a credit to sales tax payable for $156 if the selling price of the merchandise is $2600.
