Answer:

<em>The Rationality Assumption.</em>

Explanation:

The assumption of rationality is <em>the belief that people will choose something which will increase efficiency from a series of decisions; this advantage is prone to interpretation and it can be based on actual economic profit, benefit to society, and a multitude of other things.</em>

Economists often presume reason when interacting with theory and devising mathematical and statistical models to explain behaviour. It is safe to assume in many cases, such as a straightforward supply / demand model, that people will behave on basic moral standards such as a cap on desire to pay.

Worker Corporation allocates its single support department to its operating departments based on the single rate method using ma
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

$85 per machine hour

Explanation:

                                                                Actual           Budgeted

Fixed costs                                           $50,000          $47,960

Machine hours – Assembly                   1,900               1,976

Variable costs – Assembly                 $121,000         $120,000

since the single rate method does not distinguish between fixed or variable costs, in order to determine the cost allocation rate we must add the fixed allocation rate and the variable allocation rate:

  • variable allocation rate = $120,000 / 1976 machine hours = $60.73
  • fixed allocation rate = $47,960 / 1976 = $24.27

total = $60.73 + $24.27 = $85 per machine hour

Subsidies also distort resource allocation by encouraging excessive energy consumption, artificially promoting capital-intensive
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is a negative effect of energy subsidizes. Usually governments decide to subsidize energy consumption as a way of helping low income consumers and businesses. But at the end that doesn't happen and the results are quite the opposite. Most of the subsidies are taken by higher income families, e.g. big luxury homes use a lot of electricity. Subsidies end up reinforcing inequalities and the lower income families usually pay a higher percentage of the cost of having them.

Credit Purchase Discount Sh 600

To record the payment in full on account.

Office Suppliers

b) Journal Entries on 14/10/2020:

Debit Cash Account Sh 59,400

Debit Sales Discount Sh 600

Credit Tumusiime Stationers Sh 60,000

Explanation:

Other Journal entries made by Tumusiime and Office Suppliers are:

Tumusiime:

October 4, 2020:

Debit Inventory Sh 62,000

Credit Office Suppliers Sh 62,000

To record the purchase of goods on account,  terms of 1/10, n/30.

Debit Office Suppliers Sh 2,000

Credit Inventory  Sh 2,000

To record the return of goods on account.

Office Suppliers:

October 4, 2020:

Debit Tumusiime Stationers $62,000

Credit Sales Revenue $62,000

To record the sale of goods on account,  terms of 1/10, n/30.

Debit Sales Returns $2,000

Credit Tumusiime Stationers $2,000

To record the return of goods on account.

b) Calculations:

To determine the amount of returns, we first calculate the balance before the discount.  Since the discount equals 1%, it implies that Sh 59,400 = 99% (100 - 1%).  Therefore, 100% of Sh 59,400 = Sh 60,000 (59,400/99%).  This shows that Sh 2,000 (Sh 62,000 - 60,000) was the amount of returns made.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$67,000

Explanation:

Remember that,

Cost of Goods Manufactured = Beginning WIP + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending WIP

this can also be written as :

Ending WIP =  Beginning WIP + Total Manufacturing Costs - Cost of Goods Manufactured

therefore,

Ending Work In Process Inventory = $25,000 + $200,000 -$158,000

                                                         = $67,000
