Answer:

1) Job-order costing

2)$ 7.2 per direct labor hour

3)$ 7.941 per direct labor hour

4)Cost of installation= $ 4108.23

Explanation:

In job order costing the cost accounting procedures are designed to assign costs to each job. Then the costs assigned to each job are averaged over the units of production in the job to obtain an average cost per unit.

A process costing system accumulates all production costs for a large number of units of outputs and then these costs are averaged over all the units.

1) As each job is different, requiring different materials and labor for installing the systems Job-order costing will be used.

2) If normal costing is used then the  Overhead cost are $50,328

Number of direct labor hours are 6,990

The overhead rate=Overhead costs/ Number of direct labor hours

The overhead rate=$50,328/6,990= $ 7.2 per direct labor hour

3) The average actual wage rate = Actual Overhead costs / Number of direct labor hours

The average actual wage rate = $48,043.05/ 6,050=$ 7.941 per direct labor hour

4) Direct materials=$3,540

Direct labor hours= 30

Actual Direct Labor rate =  ($66,550/6,050 )= $ 11

Direct Labor = ($66,550/6,050 )*30 =11*30=$ 330

Overheads 30 *7.941= $ 238.23

Cost of installation= $3,540 +$ 330+$ 238.23= $ 4108.23

7.Consider two metropolitan areas, one that has many small school districts and one that has only a few large school districts.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

Efficiency and equality:  

We have given the information that there are two areas one has many small school and another has few large schools. The area which has many small schools faces a large competition as there are large numbers of school in that area. In order to maintain equality and efficiency the voucher system should announced in the area which has few large schools. Introducing the voucher system in this few large school region help to maintain equality as there is less competition. Whereas the introduction of the voucher system in an area which has many large schools increases the inequality as there is high competition and this inequality also stimulated by the migration factor. So, these are the effects of voucher system in different areas.
