RUDIKE [14]

Question Completion:

Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $156,000

Estimated direct labor cost = $390,000

Estimated direct materials cost = $350,000

Answer:

Pajama Corp.

The cost driver rate = $0.40 per DL cost.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated manufacturing overhead costs = $156,000

Estimated direct labor cost = $390,000

Estimated direct materials cost = $350,000

Cost driver rate = $0.40 ($156,000/$390,000)

b) To calculate the cost driver rate, Pajamas Corp. divides the total estimated manufacturing overhead costs by the cost driver (direct labor cost). This implies that the cost driver rate is the total cost of activity pool divided by its cost driver. This yields the amount of overhead and indirect costs related to a particular activity.

the net income is $92,800

Explanation:

The computation of the net income is given below:

Net income is

= Sales - cost of goods sold - tax rate on the remaining balance left

= $520,000 - $375,000 - (($520,000 - $375,000) ×0.36)

= $145,000 - $145,000 × 0.36

= $145,000 - $52,200

= $92,800

Hence, the net income is $92,800

Which characteristic describes the privatization of Social Security?

aalyn [17]

<span>The characteristic that describes privatization of Social Security is option C) enables Americans to invest their Social Security Contributions in the stock market. This is the most accurate option but still not wholly accurate. There are different proposals for privatizing. Most would have the existing funds used to buy into the market and then the individual person would have different options for how their own funds were then handled within the market. For instance they could take over control of their fund and buy/sell their various shares. Or they could move their shares to be handled by an investment company, or even just leave them in the original shares that were bought by the government during the transition to privatization. Bottom line, the individuals would have some control of there shares in the stock market.</span>

You are a U.S.-based treasurer with $1,000,000 to invest. The dollar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00 and the dolla

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Buy euro at $1.50/€, buy £ at €1.25/£, sell £ at $2/£

Explanation:

The dollar- euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.50 = €1.00

the dollar-pound exchange rate is quoted at $2.00 = £1.00

To calculate the actual cross rate we use; S(euro divided by pounds) = S(dollar/pounds) ÷ S(dollar/euro).

Using symbols to denote this, we have S(€/£) = S($/£) / S($/€)

S(€/£) = S(2/1) ÷ S(1.50/1)

= (2 / 1.5)

= €1.33.

Consequently, from this result we now know that the euro is undervalued with respect to pounds under the cross rate being offered by the bank. This implies that you should first buy the euro, convert to pounds, and eventually convert back to dollars, this would enable you make money as an investor.

Consider the following two countries. Assume they produce only these two goods. Note that productivity is now measured in how ma

Ainat [17]

Answer:

A. 1/3 computers

B. 0.6 computers

Explanation:

A. The opportunity cost incurred by the US to make cars is the number of computers it would have to give up to make a car.

The US can either make 12 cars or 4 computers. For every car made therefore the US forgoes;

= 4/12

= 1/3 computers.

B. The same logic applies to Japan. They can either make 10 cars or 6 computers.

Their opportunity cost for cars is therefore;

= 6/10

= 0.6 computers
