Answer:
a. $72,000
b. $0.36
c. $6,480
Explanation:
a. Depreciation cost = Cost of truck - Residual value
= $80,000 - $8,000
= $72,000
b. The depreciation rate = (Cost of truck - Residual value) ÷ Estimated total production
= ($80,000 - $8,000) ÷ 200,000 miles
= $72,000 ÷ 200,000 miles
= $0.36
c. The units-of-activity depreciation for the year per mile = Driven miles × Depreciation rate
= 18,000 × $0.36
= $6,480
Answer:
D. 76.6 %
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100
<em>First Calculate the Contribution</em>
Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs
= (60,000 units × $ 12.40) - ($110,000+$30,000+$34,000)
= $744,000 - $174,000
= $570,000
<em>Then Calculate Contribution Margin Ratio</em>
Contribution Margin Ratio = $570,000 / $744,000 × 100
= 76.61290
= 76.6 % ( 1 decimal)
First of all, the predetermined overhead will be calculated.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated direct labor hour
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 258,000 ÷ 15,000 hours = $ 17.20 per direct labor hour
Actual manufacturing overheads = $ 253,000
Applied manufacturing overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor hours
Applied manufacturing overheads = $ 17.20 × 13,100 = 225,320
Applied manufacturing overheads are less than actual manufacturing overheads, thus overheads are under applied.
Actual manufacturing overheads - Applied manufacturing overheads = $ 27,680 under applied
Answer:
redlining
Explanation:
Redlining is an illegal banking practice that focuses on neighborhoods that are mostly inhabited by minorities. The term redlining itself comes from the practice of marking neighborhoods on city maps with red lines to represent them as dangerous both for banking purposes and high crime rates.
Banks cannot directly deny a credit based on where you live, but they can charge very high interest rates that make them very difficult to pay, or simply ask for a lot of paperwork and more requirements than usual.
Answer:
(a) (i) Define the term "Green Revolution" as used during the period 1945 to 1985.
- The use of modern agricultural techniques became widespread around many regions in the world. This led to higher yields through the use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(ii) Explain the principal agricultural practices/technologies associated with the green revolution.
- extensive use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(iii) Name TWO regions, in different parts of the world, where the green revolution has had a significant impact on crop yields.
- In North America, Mexican food production increased and they stopped importing food. Although currently that has reversed, and it is importing even more food than before.
- In Brazil, agricultural production increased dramatically. Both total farmed area and yields have continued to increase in the past years becoming a threat to the amazon basin.
(b) Identify and discuss TWO social, political, or cultural conditions necessary for the success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Emigration from rural areas to urban areas which resulted in a rapid expansion of urban centers. Since less labor was needed in farms, many people left rural areas due to lack of jobs.
- People started accepting genetically modified crops, which were not well accepted at first. A lot of money was invested in research and development of new seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
(c) Identify and discuss TWO significant economic or ecological factors that may limit the long-term success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Many new agricultural techniques have resulted in a decrease of soil fertility. In many places crops cannot grow unless a lot of fertilizer is used.
- Countries were the green revolution was originally successful, like Mexico (where it started), have reduced the total area dedicated to crops. As the yields increased, the price of food started to decrease and many small farms could not keep operating.
