Answer:

Rustafson Corporation

1. Computation of the activity rate for each activity cost pool:

Activity Cost Pool    Activity Rate

Labor-related            $6.50 per DLH

Machine-related       $0.25 per MH

Machine setups        $42 per setup

Production orders    $36 per order

Product testing         $24 per test

Packaging                 $15 per package

General factory        $13.60 per DLH

2. Computation of the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead divided by total direct labor hours

= $358,800/8,000

= $44.85

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated  Overhead Cost      Expected Activity                 Activity Rate

Labor-related $ 52,000         8,000 direct labor-hours    $6.50 (52,000/8,000)

Machine-related $ 15,000     20,000 machine-hours       $0.25 ($15,000/20,000)

Machine setups $ 42,000     1,000 setups                       $42 ($42,000/1,000)

Production orders $ 18,000  500 orders                          $36 ($18,000/500)

Product testing $ 48,000      2,000 tests                         $24 ($48,000/2,000)

Packaging $ 75,000              5,000 packages                 $15 ($75,000/5,000)

General factory $ 108,800    8,000 direct labor-hours  $13.60 ($108,800/8,000)

Total overhead  = $358,800

Total direct labor hours = 8,000 DLH

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead divided by total direct labor hours

= $358,800/8,000

= $44.85

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

No, Elevators, Inc. has not broken the law because payment was made in United States currency.

Explanation:

It operates a substantial business abroad for high-end luxury hotels. It authorized a project manager to "charge" a government official a charge of 500 for speeding up the building permit process. so

  • Under the law, it is illegal to bribe foreign officials to get business. But there is an exception to "facilitation payments", also known as grease payments made to speed up general government functions.
  • Flexible payments can be used to persuade government officials to perform work that is already being done. Although many have argued that such payments are important for their operations in some areas, such as Asia and Africa, the difference between facility payment and bribery remains unclear.

Compare the structural approach to the external variable approach of kinesics
dedylja [7]
<span>The Structural Approach to kinesics studies all movement and sees all behaviors as important and communicative, and studies the KINE or the smallest unit of movement or motion. The External Variable approach however must be interpreted for it to be considered communication, and to be studied. Behaviors must also be full and completed, and it studies the KINEMORPH or the combination of lines, and specific whole movements. And it's also distinguished by idiosyncratic and shared info (personal behaviors/tendencies and behaviors with meaning for the particular group).</span>
