Answer:

A

Explanation:

DOL =  Percentage change in EBIT / percentage change in sales

EPS = {(EBIT - Interest) × (1 - T) } / Shares

The firm has no debt, so interest would be zero

EPS = EBIT × (1 - T) / Shares.

Tax rate and number of outstanding shares remain unchanged.

Percentage Change in EPS = EBIT.

Percentage Change in EPS = (6.5 / 4) - 1 = 0.625 = 62.5%

EBIT = 62.5%

Percentage change in sales= 20%

DOL =  62.5% / 20% =  3.13

Webster Corporation is preparing a master budget for the first quarter. The company budgets production of 2,960 units in January
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$59,410

Explanation:

With regards to the above information, we need to calculate first, total number of units for first quarter of the year.

Total number of units for first quarter of the year = 2,960 + 2,740 + 3,440

= 9,140

But, each unit requires 0.5 hours of direct labor.

It therefore means that;

1 unit need ----- 0.5 hours of direct labor

9,140 ----- ?

= (9,140 × 0.5) / 1

= 4,570 hours.

Finally, we will multiply the total hours by the payment per hour, or direct labor rate; which is $13 per hour.

= 4,570 × $13

= $59,410

Therefore, the budgeted direct labor cost for the first quarter of the year is $59,410

disa [49]
<span>Crop rotation. Crop rotation is growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same plot in sequenced seasons. Peas, like other legumes, are nitrogen fixing crop. They recover depleted nitrogen and other nutrients squeezed out by the organic corn, making nitrogen available to the soil for use again. This practice takes advantage of the uniqueness of each crop make use of diverse natural and ecological resources present in the soil to maximize yield and increase output. The organic corn requires a lot of nutrient for root growth and with repeated use, the available nutrients has gotten depleted. Planting legumious crops which are good nitrogen-fixers will help to recover lost nutrient.</span>
