Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

In this case option A is the correct option, i.e. Carolina will accept the new cosmetic line but Sanders will reject the new cosmetic line. This is because Carolina being the president of Deed Corporation would like to take the cosmetic line differently and with the expected rate of return of 12%, i.e. higher than the minimum required rate of return of 8%.

However, Sanders has achieved a 14% rate of return from his cosmetic division thus, being the manger he would not like his performance to go down with 12% return from the new cosmetic line. Thus, option A is the correct option.

Megan is 5 years older than Sandy. If four years ago Megan was three years less than three times Sandys age, how old is Sandy no
ExtremeBDS [4]
Sandy is currently 8 years old. 

Start by using x for Sandy's current age and x + 5 for Megan's current age. 

Since we know the above, we can find their age's as of 4 years ago as both of those minus 4. So Sandy 4 years ago was x - 4 years old and Megan was x + 1 years old. 

Now we can set up an equation that shows that Megan's age 4 years ago was equal to Sandy's age 4 years ago times 3 minus 3. 

x + 1 = 3(x - 4) - 3
x + 1 = 3x - 12 - 3
x + 1 = 3x - 15
x + 16 = 3x
16 = 2x
8 = x

Which is Sandy's current age.

Suppose the equilibrium price of a physical examination ("physical") by a doctor is $200, and the government imposes a price flo
DerKrebs [107]

Answer: the quantity demanded of physicals decreases and the quantity of physicals doctors want to give increases.

Explanation:

Since the equilibrium price of a physical examination ("physical") by a doctor is $200, and the government imposes a price floor of $250 per physical, there will be a reduction in the quantity demanded of physicals decreases and the quantity of physicals doctors want to give increases.

This is because since the price is higher than the equilibrium price, the consumers will reduce their demand for the product while the suppliers will e willing to supply more in order to make more profit.

High Mountain Lumber (HML) has normal budgeted overhead costs of $115,150 and a normal capacity of 35,000 direct labor hours for
Furkat [3]

Answer:

                                                                                                 $

Standard total overhead cost (0.5 hr x 25,000 x $3.29) 41,125

Less: Actual total overhead cost ($21,000 + $18,000)    39,000

Total overhead variance                                                      2,125(F)

                                           

Standard overhead application rate

= <u>Budgeted overhead</u>

  Budgeted direct labour hours

= <u>$115,150</u>

   35,000 hours

= $3.29 per direct labour hour

Explanation:

Total overhead variance is the difference between standard total overhead cost and actual total overhead cost. Standard total overhead cost is the product of standard hours per unit, standard overhead application rate and actual output produced. Actual total overhead cost is the aggregate of actual variable overhead cost and actual fixed overhead cost. Standard overhead application rate is the ratio of budgeted overhead to budgeted direct labour hours (normal capacity).
