Answer:
ME should make the investment because it results in not only higher market share but also a $24,000 increase in profits.
Explanation:
Currently ME's marketing expenditures represent 25% of the industry's marketing expenditures and it matches his market share. Using the competitive parity approach, three additional market share points should cost $120,000 ($40,000 for each point) and should increase gross profits to a total of $1,344,000 ($144,000 increase). The difference between incremental revenue and incremental expenses = $144,000 - $120,000 = $24,000.
Answer:
$6.7 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Given:
Direct labor-hours = 20,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $94,000
variable manufacturing overhead = $2.00 per direct labor-hour
Actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year = $123,900
Actual total direct labor = 21,000 hours
Now,
Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead
= 94000 + ( 2 × 20000 )
= $134,000
And,
Predetremined Overhead Rate =
or
Predetremined Overhead Rate =
or
Predetremined Overhead Rate = $6.7 per direct labor hour
