Answer:

A. Fixed Overhead rate = $30 per labour hour and $1.2 per unit of input

B. Fixed Overhead Variance = $2,000 (favorable)

C. Production volume overhead variance = $3,600 (unfavorable)

Explanation:

Pear watches

A.

Budgeted Fixed Overhead in 2015 = $648,000

Planned Direct Labour Hours = 21,600 hours

Fixed overhead Allocation basis is per Direct labor hour

Allocation rate per Direct labour hour = $648,000 / 21,600 = $30 per direct labour hour

If 540,000 units is expected to be produced in 21,600 labour hours;

Units that will be produced In 1 labour hour = 540,000/21,600 = 25 units

Therefore if 1 labour hour costs the firm $30 and only 25 units can be produced in 1hour, one unit will cost:

$30 / 25 = $1.20

B.

If the business planned same volume each month = 540,000 divided by 12 = 45,000 units monthly

At the rate of $1.20 per unit.

Budgeted Fixed Overhead in October = $54,000

However the firm did 48,000 units in October and incurred actual Fixed Overhead of $52,000

Variance = Budgeted Fixed Overhead less Actual Fixed Overhead

= $54,000 - $52,000 = $2,000 (favorable)

C.

Production volume overhead variance = budgeted unit rate x (Budgeted Volume less Actual Volume)

= $1.2 x (45,000 - 48,000 units )

= $1.2 x -3,000

= -$3,600 (unfav)

Ray Of Light [21]

The correct answer would be option C, Traded up.

If a salesperson persuades a customers to purchase a higher priced item than the customer initially intended, the salesperson has Traded up the customer.

Explanation:

Salespersons usually help customers in buying the products of their needs and desires. Success of a salesperson depends upon how beautifully he grabs the customer and closes a sale.

When a salesperson trades something to a customer which is more expensive than the product which customer was previously intended to buy, it means that the salesperson has traded up the customer.

For example, if a salesperson persuades a customer to buy an automobile worth $20,000 rather than an automobile of worth $10000, it means, the salesperson has traded up the customer.

Your goal is to withdraw $25,000 in 10 years. To get the money for this withdrawal, you will make the aforementioned five equal
NikAS [45]

Answer:

the interest rate is missing, so I looked for similar questions and found that the semiannual interest rate is 3%.

first of all, we must determine the amount of money that we need to have in our account in order to be able to withdraw $25,000 in 10 years.

You will start making your semiannual deposits today and they will end in exactly 2 years, so we need to find out the present value of the $25,000 in two years:

PV = $25,000 / (1 + 3%)¹⁶ = $15,579.17

that is now the future value of our annuity due:

FV = semiannual deposit x FV annuity due factor (3%, 5 periods)

$15,579.17 = semiannual deposit x 5.46841

semiannual deposit = $15,579.17 / 5.46841 = $2,848.94
