Answer:

Atchulo company should focus on its income centers rather than the whole organization. The company has limited itself to only domestic shipments. It has not considered the international shipment where profit margin can be high and company can benefit from expanding its operations. Also all the cost related to the travelling of shipment to and from the hub is charged to the hub and terminals does not bears the cost.

Explanation:

The revenue for the different terminals and hub is divided so the cost should also be allocated to the respective activities. If the hub is set as cost bearing center then there will no profit to the hub and terminals cost will be reduced and they will enjoy high profit.

Brown Street Grocers has a cost of equity of 11.8 percent, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.9 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

$1,000

Explanation:

For the computation of overhead over/under applied last year first we need to find out the applied overhead which is shown below:-

Applied overhead = Actual direct labor × Per direct labor

= 24,000 × $2

= $48,000

Over applied overhead = Applied overhead - Actual overhead

= $48,000 - $47,000

= $1,000

Therefore for computing the overhead over/under applied last year we simply applied the above formula.
