Answer:

Materials handling= $60 per requisition

Machine setups= $110 per setup

Quality inspections= $95 per inspection

Explanation:

<u>To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Materials handling= 60,000/1,000= $60 per requisition

Machine setups= 55,000/500= $110 per setup

Quality inspections= 57,000/600= $95 per inspection

Which of the following statements is true of the behavior of total variable​ costs, within the relevant​ range? A. They will inc
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

They will decrease as production decreases

Explanation:

Total Variable cost is sum of all the cost incurred in production of total units of goods produced. It is directly proportional to the number of units of goods produced. It helps to analyze cost structure of goods and then decide on pricing strategy of the goods. Some of the examples of variable cost can be packaging cost, raw material’s cost.

Mathematically it can be defined as  

Total variable cost = Total units of goods produced *  variable cost for one unit of good produced  

Hence from the given option  They will decrease as production decreases as the number of units of goods produced will decrease and hence lesser raw material and packaging will be required to produce the goods.

Most people across the globe have similar access to technology information. Yes or no? Why?
Digiron [165]
False. A great example would be North Korea compared to the United States. In the United States we have the Freedom to Speech so we also have the the opportunity for news and social media where you can post pretty much anything. North Korea on the other hand lacks informing their own people and their own people lacks a stable and healthy government. We don’t know a lot about North Korea and they don’t know anything at all about us or the rest of the world.

irga5000 [103]
<span>The pizza is a neutral good. A neutral good is a good whose demand is not changed even though the income provided by the good is changed. A person's income can go either up or down, but their desire to buy more or less of Jamal's pizza will not change, so pizza sales will not go up or down. Demand and income are not tied to each other.</span>

1. Explain the difference between required rate of return and expected rate of return. If they are different at a specific point
77julia77 [94]

Answer: The answers to the questions are provided below.

Explanation:

1. The Required Rate of Return(RRR) is the absolute minimum return on an investment that an individual or firm would accept for the investment to be considered worthwhile. The required rate of return helps in deciding whether an investment is worth the cost or not.

An expected rate of return helps in knowing out how much one can expect to make from an investment. An expected rate of return is the return on investment that an individual or firm expects to make when investing in a stock.

The RRR is the least possible rate which would entice someone to invest while the expected rate of return is what the person plan to make from that investment and its calculation is based on probability.

When there is difference between the required rate of return and expected rate of return for an asset at a specific period of time, it means that the economic conditions aren't normal as there is either inflation or deflation in the market.

2. The holding period return is the total return gotten from holding an asset over a particular period of time which is known as the “holding” period while the expected return is the return based on probability-weighted average of likely returns from an investment.

3. Diversification is a technique that is applied to reduce risk through the allocation of investments among several financial instrument and industries. Diversification aims to maximize the returns through investment in different sectors because each sector will likely react differently when there's a risk. Investing in more than one asset through diversification is essential because each asset will react differently when a risk occurs.
