Increasing returns to scale means that during a production process, as input increases, output increases but by a larger proportion.

Economies of scale refers to the decrease in average cost per unit as a firm increases its output.

The increase in output brought about by increasing returns to scale causes cost per unit to decrease (which is economies of scale).

Therefore increasing returns to scale causes economies of scale.

A company calculated the predetermined overhead based on an estimated overhead of $70,000, and the activity for the cost driver

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

$68,600

Explanation:

Activity Based Overhead Rates = Estimated Overhead / Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Activity (Hours)

Activity Based Overhead Rates = $70,000 / 2,500

Activity Based Overhead Rates = $28

Overhead Assigned = Overhead Rate * Hours Utilized

Product A Overhead Assigned = $28 * 1,350 hours

Product A Overhead Assigned = $37,800

Product B Overhead Assigned = $28 * 1,100 hours

Product B Overhead Assigned = $30,800

Total Overhead Assigned = Product A Overhead Assigned + Product B Overhead Assigned

Total Overhead Assigned = $37,800 + $30,800

Total Overhead Assigned = $68,600

ella [17]

Answer:

The balance in the investment account on December 31 will be $325,000

Explanation:

The equity method is computed by applying an equation which is shown below:

= Opening balance of common stock + rate of common stock × (Net income - dividend paid)

= $300,000 + 25% × ($160,000 - $60,000)

= $300,000 + 25% × $100,000

= $300,000 + $25,000

= $325,000

Since, only 25% of common stock is acquired so, only 25% is to be considered in the computation part. And all other balances are also considered together.

Hence, the balance in the investment account on December 31 will be $325,000
