New Jersey called Partac Peat.The company markets a secret mix for the infield (resilient),the warning track (extra crunchy),and the pitcher's mounds (firm).Mounds come in red,brown,orange,and gray colours.Roger Bossard,the White Sox head groundskeeper,scouted nationwide for dirt before settling on the mix provided by Partac Peat.(He uses sand under the grassy areas of the playing field. )
-Refer to Baseball Dirt.Some of the dirt sold by Partac Peat goes to make clay tennis court surfaces.As the number of people playing tennis increases,so does the demand for new clay courts and,therefore,the demand for Partac Peat clay.This occurs because the demand for Partac Peat is which of the following?
A) inelastic
B) intangible
C) heterogeneous
D) derived

Answer: D) derived

Explanation:

Derived demand refers to a situation where the demand for a good or service is as a result of the demand in another good or service. For example, if the demand for mobile phones increases, the demand for lithium batteries will increase as well.

In the example, Partac Peat clay demand increases as a result of an increase in the demand for tennis playing therefore it is a derived demand based on the demand for the tennis.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) is attached below

2)  Budgeted manufacturing overhead rate :    

In Machining Department = Manufacturing overhead cost / Machine hrs  

= $9065000 /185,000 = $49 per machine hour    

In Finishing Department = Manufacturing overhead cost / Direct Manufacturing labor cost  

= $8,058000 / $3950,000 = 2.04    

3)  Machining Department overhead = $20 per machine hr * 100 hrs

= $2000    

Finishing Department overhead = $1400 * 204% = $2856    

Total manufacturing overhead = $4856    

4). Total costs of Job 431:    

Direct material - Machining Department = $14500    

                     - Finishing Department = $4000    

Direct manufacturing labor - Machining Department = $800    

                                     - Finishing Department = $1400    

Manufacturing overhead = $4856    

Total Cost = $25556    

Cost per unit = $25556 / 100 = $255.56    

5)    

Actual manufacturing overhead              machining                 finishing  

Actual manufacturing overhead              $12,010,000        $9,184,000  

Manufacturing overhead allocated      $11,760,000       $9,384,000  

                                                                    ($49×240,000) (204%×4600,000)  

Under allocated(over allocated)               $250,000           $(200,000.00)  

For plant as whole:    

(12,010,000+$9184,000)-(11760,000+$9384,000)    

50000 Under applied.    

6) In machining department main focal points is machines , so machine hours is selected for this.In finishing department, labor cost is key area.so it is selected by the company .In both department key area is different so different cost drivers are selected for both departments.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Miller's retained earnings on December 31, 2016 is $9,000,000.

Miller's retained earnings on 31 December 2016 = retained earnings on January 1, 2016 + net income - declared dividends

= $8,000,000 + $1,500,000 - $500,000

= $ 9,000,000

Therefore, Miller's retained earnings on December 31, 2016 is $9,000,000.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

=8.8%

Explanation:

ROI  is return on investments. It is calculated by the formula below.

ROI = net gains/ invested capital x 100

net gains in this case will be

Dividends = $74.06

Appreciation in price = ($61.50 x 25) - ($59.25 x 25)

=$1,537.5 -  $1,481.25

=56.25

Total gain = $56.25 + $74.06

=$130.31

ROI = $130.31/1,481.25 x100

ROI= 0.087972 x 100

=8.79

=8.8%
