Wilson Enterprises applies overhead based on direct labor cost. The company estimates that their overhead for the year will be $
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Applied Overhead is higher than actual overhead. Hence, manufacturing overhead is $ 4,000

Explanation:

Given data:

estimated overhead = $2,40,000

Labor cost =$2,80,000

Direct labor cost = $3,00,000

Overhead\  rate = \frac{Estimated\  Overhead}{Estimated\ direct\ labor\ cost}

                        = \frac{2,40,000}{3,00,000}      

                         = $ 0.80 per direct labor cost      

Applied\ Overhead = Actual\  Labor\ cost\times Overhead\ rate      

                             = $ 2,80,000\times $ 0.80 Per direct labor cost  

                             =$ 2,24,000        

Actual Overhead cost = $ 2,20,000        

Applied Overhead is more than actual overhead. Hence, manufacturing overhead is $ 4,000.

Suppose you are committed to owning a $215,000 ferrari. if you believe your mutual fund can achieve an annual return of 10.8 per
Pie

Answer: I must invest <u>$85424.14</u> today in order to buy a Ferrari nine years from now on the day I turn 30.

We have

Price of the Ferrari nine years from now (Future Value - FV)    $215000

Expected Rate of return on the mutual fund (r)    10.8%

Time until I turn 30  (n)   9 years

We can calculate the Present Value (PV) or the money to be invested today as

\mathbf{PV = \frac{FV}{(1+n)^{n}}}

PV = \frac{215000}{(1+0.108)^{9}}

\mathbf{PV = 85424.14022}
