Consumer decision making is a process that has 5 steps. The first step is the consumer recognition of the need they need to satisfy. It is termed as the basic step since one cannot look for money to satisfy a need that they have not first recognized.
Hi there
First find Predetermined oH rate
Predetermined oH rate is
total estimated overhead divided by
estimated direct labor
Predetermined oH rate=
450,000÷180,000
=2.5
the amount of overhead to be allocated to finished goods inventory if there is $20,000 of total direct labor cost in the jobs in the finished goods inventory is
2.5×20,000
=50,000. ...answer
Good luck!
Answer:
$1,138.92
Explanation:
Current bond price can be calculated present value (PV) of cash flows formula below:
Current price or PV of bond = C{[1 - (1 + i)^-n] ÷ i} + {M × (1 + i)^-n} ...... (1)
Where:
Face value = $1,000
r = coupon rate = 7.2% annually = (7.2% ÷ 2) semiannually = 3.6% semiannually
C = Amount of semiannual interest payment = Face value × r
C = $1,000 × 3.6% = $36
n = number of payment periods remaining = (12 - 1) × 2 = 22
i = YTM = 5.5% annually = (5.5% ÷ 2) semiannually = 2.75% semiannually = 0.0275 semiannually
M = value at maturity = face value = $1,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV of bond = 36{[1 - (1 + 0.0275)^-22] ÷ 0.0275} + {1,000 × (1 + 0.0275)^-22}
PV of bond = $1,138.92.
Therefore, the current bond price is $1,138.92.
Answer:
a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process
b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour
Explanation:
Part 1 is processed at A for 15 minutes and then at B for 10 minutes.
Thus part 1 take 15 + 10 i.e. 25 minutes two complete both processes
Part 2 is processed at C for 20 minutes.
Output from B and C i.e. part 1 and 2 respectively are fed to process D where the time taken to assemble is 15 minutes
Thus looking at the given data,
Part 1 takes longer time i.e. 25 minutes to reach process C compared to part 2 i.e. 20 minutes
So bottleneck occurs at process A and B because it takes maximum time i.e. 25 minutes
a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process
b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour
