Anettt [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The equation to solve is

\frac{24}{13+s}=\frac{15}{13-s}

The rate of the current s is 3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time

so

The time is equal to divide the distance by the speed

Let

s ---> the rate  or speed of the current in mph

we know that

The linear equation that represent this situation is

\frac{24}{13+s}=\frac{15}{13-s}

solve for s

24(13-s)=15(13+s)

312-24s=195+15s\\24s+15s=312-195\\39s=117\\s=3\ mph

Lilium Inc., an automobile company, estimates a total factory overhead cost of $1,500,000 for the year and an activity base of 2
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The applied factory overhead cost is $1,875,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Overhead cost = $1,500,000  at activity base of 200,000

We assume that the overhead is directly proportional to the activity base;

The cost per direct labor =  $1,500,000/200,000 = $7.5

Therefore at actual labor hours of 250,000, the factory overhead cost is therefore = $7.5 × 250000 = $1,875,000.
