Answer:
Overhead application rate
= <u>Budgeted overhead</u>
Budgeted machine hours
= <u>$900,000</u>
30,000 hours
= $30 per machine hour
Overhead cost assigned to the product
= Overhead application rate x Actual machine hours
= $30 x 12,000 hours
= $360,000
Explanation:
In this case, there is need to determine the overhead application rate, which is the ratio of budgeted overhead to budgeted machine hours.
Then, we will obtain the overhead cost assigned to the product by multiplying the overhead application rate by actual machine hours.

Answer:
Ford's weighted average cost of capital is 8.22 %
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) is the minimum return that the company expect from a project. It shows the risk of the company.
Calculation of WACC
WACC = Cost of equity + Cost of preferred stock + Cost of debt
Capital Source Market Values Weight Cost Total Cost
equity $ 7 billion 29.17% 13.6% 3.97 %
preferred stock $ 2 billion 8.33% 12% 1.00 %
debt $ 15 billion 62.50% 5.2 % 3.25%
Total $ 24 billion 8.22 %
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Risk Premium
= 4% + 1.2 × 8%
= 13.6%
Cost of preferred stock = Dividend/Market Price
= $ 3/ $ 25 × 100
= 12%
Cost of debt = interest × (1- tax rate)
= 8% × (1-0.35)
= 5.2 %
Answer:
d. A larger fixed assets turnover ratio and a larger gain on asset disposal
Explanation:
Accelerated depreciation is a method of depreciation whereby the book value of an asset is rapidly depreciated or reduced i.e at an accelerated rate.
This method usually minimizes taxable income in the initial years as a higher amount of depreciation is claimed.
Fixed assets turnover ratio refers to what percentage of net sales is attributable to an entity's fixed assets. It is expressed as:
Gain on sale of asset disposal = Sale value - Book Value
Book Value = Cost less accumulated depreciation till date
As can be seen, Average fixed assets balance would reduce thereby increasing fixed assets turnover ratio.
Similarly, due to higher depreciation charged, Book Value would be comparatively less, which would lead to larger gain on assets disposal in the initial years.
