Answer:
a. 56%
b. 62%
Explanation:
a. Janitorial costs are allocated based on square feet.
Assembly Department Square feet = 42,560
Total area for both departments = 42,560 + 33,440 = $76,000
Percentage of costs
= 42,560/ 76,000
= 56%
b. Security costs are allocated based on asset value.
Cutting Department Asset Value = $126,480
Total asset value for both departments = 77,520 + 126,480 = $204,000
Percentage of costs
= 126,480/ 204,000
= 62%
Answer: A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks will have the smallest standard deviation.
Explanation:
A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks tend to have a lesser covariance between the security returns. Also, there will be increased diversification. This increased diversification lowers the risk of portfolio thereby resulting in a lower standard deviation.
Other options are not correct. A portfolio consisting of 30 energy stocks will have a higher level of covariance between the security returns. Therefore, the standard deviation is lower.
A coefficient of variance greater than one will have a high level of variance while a coefficient variance less than 1 has a lower level of variance. A lesser covariance will result to a lower standard deviation and vice-versa.
Answer: 33.3%
Explanation: The predetermined overhead rate allocates the manufacturing overhead to products. This is based on an estimate, as it is done at the beginning of the financial year. It uses an allocation base, which is usually a cost driver. A cost driver is a type of activity that causes a change in the cost of said activity. Examples of cost drivers usually used are: direct labour hours or machine hours.
The formula for calculating the predetermined overhead rate is:
Total estimated overhead costs ÷ total estimated overhead allocation base (estimated direct labour costs is used)
300 000 ÷ 900 000 = 0.33333 × 100 = 33.3%
Answer:
1. Price ceiling, Binding
2. Price ceiling, Binding
3. Price floor, binding
Explanation:
Price ceiling is a government or group control limit on how high a product, commodity or service can be charged.
Price floor is a government or group limit on how low a product, commodity or service can be charged.
Binding simply means you are legally bound to something while non-binding means you are not legally bound to it.
A budget can help teens start to discern between genuine needs and wants and will show them where their money is going each month. A good budget will provide for both needs and at least some wants and should be flexible and relatively easy to use and understand.
