Answer:

estimated direct labor hours= 35,700 hours

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $821,100.

Actual direct-labor hours= 36,280 hours

Actual manufacturing overhead= $790,000

Manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $44,440.

We need to reverse engineer the overhead application process to calculate the estimated direct labor hours.

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

-44,440= 790,000 - allocated overhead

allocated overhead= 834,440

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

834,440= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*36,280

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $23

Finally, we can determine the estimated direct labor hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

23= 821,100/ estimated direct labor hours

estimated direct labor hours= 821,100/23

estimated direct labor hours= 35,700 hours

A benchmark market value index is comprised of three stocks. yesterday the three stocks were priced at $12, $20, and $60. the nu

Olenka [21]

Answer: The one day rate of return on the stock is 1.49%

We arrive at the answer in the following manner:

First we need to calculate yesterday's and today's index values.

For that we need to find weights of each day based on market capitalization.

$Market Capitalization _{ a stock} = Market Price * No .of outstanding shares$

The weight of a company in the index is calculated by dividing the market capitalization of a company by the total market capitalization of all the companies whose shares are a part of the index.

$Weight_{Company A} =\frac{Mkt Cap of company A}{Total Market cap}$

Then, we multiply the share price of each company with their respective weights and find the total to arrive at the index value for one day.

<u>Yesterday's Index Value</u>

Stock Price No. of shares Mkt Cap Weight Weight*Price

A 12 600000 7200000 0.25 2.96 (0.25*12)

B 20 500000 10000000 0.34 6.85(0.34*20)

C 60 200000 <u>12000000</u> <u>0.41</u> <u>24.66 </u>(0.41*60)

Total 29200000 1.00 34.47

We calculate the weight for stock A as follows:

$Weight_{A} =\frac{72,00,000}{2,92,00,000} = 0.2466 = 0.25$

We calculate the weights of the remaining stocks in a similar manner.

Please note that the sum total of all weights must add up to 1.

The sum total of the last column (Price * Weight) is yesterday's index value.

We repeat the same steps with today's market price to arrive at today's index value.

<u>Today's index Value</u>

Stock Price No. of shares Mkt Cap Weight Weight*Price

A 16 600000 96,00,000 0.31 4.95 (0.31*16)

B 18 500000 90,00,000 0.29 5.23 (0.29*18)

C 62 200000 <u>1,24,00,000</u> <u>0.40</u> <u>24.80</u>(0.40*62)

Total 3,10,00,000 1.00 34.98

<u>One-day Rate of Return</u>

We can calculate the one day rate of return on the index as follows:

$Rate of return = [\frac{(Today's index value - Yesterday's index value}{Yesterday's index value}) * 100$

$Rate of Return = ( \frac{34.98 - 34.47}{34.47}) * 100$

$Rate of return = (\frac{0.51}{34.47}) *100$

Rate of return = 0.01494 or 1.49%

Manuel borrowed a total of $4000 from two student loans. One loan charged 4% simple interest and the other charged 3.5% simple i

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000

Explanation:

We have given total amount borrowed = $4000

Let x amount is borrowed at a rate of 4%

So $4000-x is borrowed at rate of 3.5%

Total interest = $150

We know that simple interest $=\frac{principal\ amount\times rate\times time}{100}$

So $\frac{x\times 4\times 1}{100}+\frac{(4000-x)\times 3.5\times 1}{100}=150$

$4x+14000-3.5x=15000$

0.5 x=1000

x = 2000

So the principal amount at a rate of 4% is 2000

And principal amount at a rate of 3.5% is 4000-2000 =2000
