Answer:

Because of economies and diseconomies of scale.

Explanation:

Increasing returns to scale refers to the situation when a proportionate change in input leads to more than proportionate change in output. This may happen because of economies of scale.  

Economies of scale are said to happen when the average cost of production decreases with the increase in the volume of output.  

Decreasing returns to scale refers to the situation when a proportionate change in input leads to less than proportionate change in output. This may happen because of diseconomies of scale.  

Diseconomies of scale occur when a firm experiences an increase in the average total cost as the volume of output increases.

A company bases its predetermined overhead rate on direct labor cost. For next year, total factory overhead cost is estimated at
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $18,750

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The estimated total factory overhead= $300,000

Total estimated direct labor cost= $240,000.

The actual direct labor cost was $15,000.

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate based on direct labor cost. Then, we can allocate overhead.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 300,000/240,000= $1.25 per direct labor dollar

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

Allocated MOH= 1.25*15,000

Allocated MOH= $18,750
