Answer:
Hilary is a retired teacher who lives in Miami and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, she is willing to work 10 hours per week. At $65 per hour, she is willing to work 19 hours per week.
Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Hilary’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 2.37 , which means that Hilary’s supply of labor over this wage range is elastic.
Explanation:
Midpoint elasticity = (Change in labor supplied / Average labor supplied) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)
= [(19 - 10) / (19 + 10) / 2] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50) / 2]
= [9 / (29 / 2)] / [15 / (115 / 2)]
= (9 / 14.5) / (15 / 57.5)
= 0.62/0.26
Midpoint elasticity = 2.37
Once elasticity is greater than 1, supply of labor is Elastic.
Answer:
$160 overapplied
Explanation:
Icy Mocha company estimates it's factory overhead costs to be $35,000 and machine hours to be 5,000 for a period of one year.
The actual number of hours worked on job 333 and 334 equals a total of 4,980
The actual factory overhead costs are $34,700
The first step is to calculate the predetermined overhead rate
= Overhead costs/machine hours
= $35,000/5,000
= $7
The amount of either over or underapplied factory costs can be calculated as follows
= predetermined overhead rate×actual number of hours worked
= $7×4,980
= $34,860
The amount is then subtracted from the actual overhead costs
= $34,700-$34860
= -$160
= $160 overapplied
Hence the amount of overapplied factory overhead is $160
Answer:
Shally will not having any amount of bad debt deduction for the present year.
Explanation:
In the present year, Shally will not having any amount of bad debt deduction because she has a gain or income of $5,000.

Therefore, she will not have any bad debt deduction this year.
I have the same question if anyone can help please let me know
Answer: c. $300,000
Explanation:
Here, the shipping costs from overseas is part in inventory costs whereas the shipping costs to export are part of expense not inventory.
Given: Purchases during the year $15.0 million
Shipping costs from overseas$1.5 million
Shipping costs to export customers$1.0 million
Inventory at year end $3.0 million
Amount of shipping costs should be included in ABC Trading's year-end inventory valuation = (Inventory at year end)÷(Purchases during the year ) × (Shipping costs from overseas)
= ($3,000,000) ÷ ($15,000,000) × ($1,500,000)
= $300,000
Hence, the correct option is c. $300,000.
