Answer:

$6,000,000

Explanation:

Change in risk = 0 in 1,000 to 1 in 1,000 = 0 to 0.001 = +0.001

Change in wage = $30,000 to $36,000 = +$6,000

Therefore:

wage/risk = 6,000/0.001

= $6 million or $6,000,0000

The value of a human life for workers with these characteristics should a cost-benefit analyst use is $6,000,000 because workers are willing to receive an extra $6,000 for a 1 in 1,000 increase in risk of death, implying a value of life of $6 million)Value of human life for workers with these characteristics = $6 million .

In order words the workers require $6,000 to accept a death risk of .001. The value of life implied by this is $6,000/.001 = $6,000,000.

  • March 14    Purchase    190 units    $48 per unit
  • May 1         Purchase     135 units   $ 50 per unit

  • 60 units at $50 per unit = $3,000

Total COGS = $17,180

<u>Income statement for Hogan Industries 2017</u>

Total revenue         $19,968

<u>COGS                     ($17,180)     </u>

Gross profit             $2,788

<u>Taxes 30%             ($836.40)   </u>

Ben Gordon, Inc. manufactures 2 products, wheels and seats. The company has estimated its overhead in the assembling department
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

We could allocate assembly overhead on the basis of the parts used in the assembly process:

wheels ⇒ 300,000 x 2 parts = 600,000 parts

<u>seats ⇒ 600,000 x 3 parts = 1,800,000 parts</u>

total parts assembled     2,400,000 parts

overhead costs per part assembled = $360,000 / 2,400,000 parts = $0.15 per part

so the overhead allocated to wheels should be = 600,000 parts x $0.15 per part = $90,000
