Answer:

Banks usually operate in a fractional reserve banking system which means that they only have to keep a fraction of all their deposits and can loan out the rest, so they can create money by lending out money. For example if $10 is deposited into a bank and the required reserve ratio is 10% they can loan out $9 and have to keep only $1 in reserve. When they loan out $9 they are creating new money as someone who didn't have any money now has $9. And this keeps on going on as the $9 might also end up in the bank and 90% of that will be loaned out.

Explanation:

= Direct labor costs(Wages of workers operating filtration equipment) + Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration

= $25,950 + $20,000

= $45,950

B. Filtration Department completely processed 150,000 liters in February.

Total cost incurred:

= Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration + Water

= $25,950 + $20,000 + $80,000

= $125,950

Filtration cost per liter:

= Total cost incurred ÷ Total units processed

= $125,950 ÷ 150,000

= $0.84 per liter.

Amazon Company uses predetermined departmental overhead rates based on direct labor cost to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a. $270,000

Explanation:

Department A:

Manufacturing overhead=200% of direct labor

80000 = 200% of direct labor

So, direct labor = 80000/200%=$40,000

Department B:

Manufacturing overhead=50% of direct labor

So, Manufacturing overhead = 50%*60000=$30,000

Total manufacturing cost = Material cost + Labor cost + Manufacturing overhead

- Material cost = 50000+10000=$60,000

- Direct labor cost = 40000+60000=$100,000

- Manufacturing overhead = 80000+30000=$110,000

Total manufacturing cost = $60,000 + $100,000 + $110,000

Total manufacturing cost = $270,000
