Answer:

a giant corporation composed of many smaller corporations.

Explanation:

This option is not 100% right, but the other options were completely wrong. A conglomerate is a corporation that operates in totally different and unrelated industries. For example, a conglomerate can operate in the energy sector, financial services, education services, cruise lines, and agriculture. No two industries are even related to one another, and that is what operates a conglomerate from a normal corporation. E.g. Samsung is a conglomerate because it operates an electronics business, manufactures cars, builds ships, operates funeral homes, etc.

Fickel Company has two manufacturing departments—Assembly and Testing &amp; Packaging. The predetermined overhead rates in Assem
Archy [21]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The predetermined overhead rates:

Assembly= $22 per direct labor-hour

Testing & Packaging= $18.00 per direct labor-hour

The company’s direct labor wage rate is $24.00 per hour.

Job N-60:

Assembly:

Direct materials $390

Direct labor $228

Testing & Packaging:

Direct materials $45

Direct labor $132

1) To calculate the total manufacturing cost, first, we need to allocate overhead. To do that, we need direct labor hours for each department.

<u>Assembly:</u>

Direct labor hours= 228/24= 9.5

<u>Testing:</u>

Direct labor hour= 132/24= 5.5

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

Allocated MOH= 22*9.5 + 18*5.5= $308

Total manufacturing cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total manufacturing cost= (390 + 45) + (228 + 132) + (308)= $1,103

2) Unitary cost= 1,103/10= $110.3

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The expected return is 10.95%

Explanation:

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF X

State _____Probability __X_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______22%  ___5.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______15%  ___ 9.00%

Recession _0.15 _______5% ___ <u>0.75%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>15.25%</u>

CALCULATE THE EXPECTED RETURN OF Y

State _____Probability __Y_____Expected return

Boom ____ 0.25 ______10%  ___ 2.50%

Normal ___ 0.60 ______9%  ____5.40%

Recession _0.15 _______8% ___ <u>1.20%  </u>

Total ______________________<u>9.10%</u>

Now calculate the weighted average return based on investment in each portfolio

Expected return = ( Expected return of Assets X x Weight of Asset X ) + ( Expected return of Assets Y x Weight of Asset Y )  

Expected return = ( 15.25% x $3000/$10000 ) + ( 9.10% x $7000/$10000 )  

Expected return = 4.575% + 6.370%

Expected return = 10.945%

Expected return = 10.95%

Montano1993 [528]

If sales volume increases and all other factors remain constant, then the Margin of safety will increase

Explanation:

The margin for safety (MOS) is described as an overall excess of current or expected revenue, expressed either in terms of currency or in units, or as a percentage of total revenues.

One of the main ways to increase the safety margin is through increasing the gross value per unit (if business conditions are favourable) and by reducing the variable cost per unit of the good. This can be accomplished by rising selling costs.
