Answer:

The firm's overhead was $1,000 under-applied

Explanation:

For computing the firm overhead amount, first, we have to compute the predetermined overhead rate. The formula is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead) ÷ (estimated direct labor-hours)

= $150,000 ÷ 15,000 hours

= $10

Now we have to find the actual overhead which equal to

= Actual direct labor-hours × predetermined overhead rate

= 14,500 hours × $10

= $145,000

So, the firm overhead equals to

= Actual manufacturing overhead - actual overhead

= $146,000 - $145,000

= $1,000 under-applied

Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $95,000 each. The firm's fixed costs, F, are $2.5 milli
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Schweser Satellites Inc.

The incremental profit is:

= $845,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price of Satellite Earth Station = $95,000 each

Total sales revenue = $4,750,000 ($95,000 * 50)

Fixed costs, F = $2.5 million

Annual production and sales units = 50 units

Total profits = $500,000

Total contribution = $3 million ($2.5 m + $500,000)

Variable costs = $1,750,000 ($4,750,000 - $3,00,000)

Variable cost per unit = $35,000 ($1,750,000/50)

Assets = $4 million

Equity = $4 million

Additional assets = 4.5 million

Additional fixed operating costs = $380,000

New assets = 8.5 million

Fixed operating costs = $2.88 million

Variable cost reduction per unit = $12,000

New variable cost per unit = $23,000 ($35,000 - $12,000)

Production and sales units = 65 (50 + 15)

New selling price per unit = $88,000

Cost of equity = 16%

Tax rate = 0%

Profit under new arrangements:

Contribution per unit = $65,000 ($88,000 - $23,000)

Total contribution margin = $4,225,000 ($65,000 * 65)

Fixed operating costs =       $2,880,000

Net operating profit              $1,345,000

Incremental profit = $845,000 ($1,345,000 - $500,000)

The Company is in the process of evaluating a new product using the following information: ∙ A new transformer has three product
Bad White [126]

Answer:

total loss for first year = ($96,000)

Explanation:

direct costs per 5,000 transformers = $55,000, or $11 per unit

indirect manufacturing overhead per 5,000 transformers = $45,000 or $9 per unit

destination charges per transformer = $2 each

customer service expenses = $0.40 per transformer

sales price:

year 1 = $20 x 15,000 = $300,000

year 2 = $24 x 15,000 = $360,000

year 3 = $28 x 15,000 = $420,000

total revenue = $1,080,000

total costs:

development costs = $45,000

setup costs = $15,000 x 3 per year x 3 years = $135,000

direct costs = $11 x 45,000 units = $495,000

manufacturing overhead costs = $9 x 45,000 = $405,000

sales and administrative costs = $2.40 x 45,000 = $108,000

total = $1,188,000

total operating life cycle loss = $1,080,000 - $1,188,000 = -$108,000

life cycle operating loss for first year:

total revenue = $300,000

- setup costs = $45,000

- direct costs = $165,000

- manufacturing overhead costs = $135,000

- S&A costs = $36,000

- 1/3 of development costs = $15,000

total loss = -$96,000

uysha [10]

Answer: suggests that the firm's previous choices were not the best ones.

Explanation: For a long-tenured top-level manager to make such proclamation, shows the inefficiencies of the firm which he is a part of. He obviously has been with the firm for a very long time and making that proclamation will also be a dent in his image as a manager.

Darya [45]

Answer:

1. 1,000 bushels of wheat

2.  d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other

Explanation:

1 & 2. Autarky refers to a situation where a country does not engage in trade with other countries but rather relies on its own production capacities to feed the consumption in the country.

Autarkies in the current world are not a thing because countries trade with each other. Even North Korea trades with Russia, China and others.

In an Autarky situation therefore, the United States would only be able to consume the wheat that it produces itself which according to the question is 1,000 bushels of wheat.
