Answer:

a. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are free to trade it. Which form of the bonus should you​ choose? What is its​ value?

I would choose the stock bonus because the current market price = 200 x $64 = $12,800 which is much higher than $4,600 (cash bonus)

b. Suppose that if you receive the stock​ bonus, you are required to hold it for at least one year. What can you say about the value of the stock bonus​ now? What will your decision depend​ on?

Even if you are required to hold the stock for one year, the price difference with the cash bonus is too great = ($12,800 - $4,600) / $4,600 = 178% higher. Since you are employed by the company, you should know if the company is doing well or not, and the probable future stock price.

Only if something catastrophic happened to the company would make the cash bonus more attractive.

Calculating the Predetermined Overhead Rate, Applying Overhead to Production, Reconciling Overhead at the End of the Year, Adjus
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated:

Overhead $160,000

Direct labor hours 80,000

Han uses normal costing and applies overhead based on direct labor hours.

For January, direct labor hours were 8,150.

By the end of the year, Han showed the following actual amounts:

Overhead $166,000

Direct labor hours 79,600

Assume that the unadjusted Cost of Goods Sold for Han was $176,000.

1) Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate=160000/80000= $2 per hour

2) Applied overhead (January)= Predetermined overhead rate*actual hours= 2*8150= $16,300

3) Applied overhead for the year= 2*79600= $159,200

Over/under applied= actual overhead - applied overhead= 166000 - 159200= 6800 underapplied

4) COGS= 176000

Underapplied overhead= 6800

COGS adjusted= $182,800

The controller of Fortnight Co. has requested a quick estimate of the manufacturing supplies needed for the Cleveland Plant for
zmey [24]

Answer:

$778460

Explanation:

Using the highlow method, we calculate the variable cost per unit,

  • VC / unit = 855460 - 651960 / 730000 - 545000  = $1.1per unit
  • The total fixed cost will be = 855460 - (1.1 * 730000) = $52460

The cost estimating equation will be,

  • Total cost at x number of unit = 1.1x + 52460

The cost of manufacturing supplies for the month of July will be,

  • Total cost (July) = 1.1(660000) + 52460   = $778460

The price of good X increases from $55 to $60, and quantity demanded decreases from 500 to 400. The price of good Y increases fr
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

demand curve for Good X is more elastic than the demand curve for Good Y

Demand for good X is elastic because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1.

Demand for good Y is inelastic because the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1.

consumers who buy Good Y are less sensitive to price changes than consumers who buy Good X

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.  

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.  

For good X,

Percentage change in price = $55 / $60 - 1 = | -0.0833| = 8.33%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 500 / 400 - 1 = 0.25 = 25%

Elasticity of demand = 25% / 8.33% = 3

Demand for good X is elastic because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1.

For good Y,

Percentage change in price = $55 / $60 - 1 = | -0.0833| = 8.33%

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 500 / 475 - 1 = 0.0526 = 5.26%

Elasticity of demand = 5.26% / 8.33% = 0.63

Demand for good Y is inelastic because the coefficient of elasticity is less than 1.

consumers who buy Good Y are less sensitive to price changes than consumers who buy Good X
