Answer:
$2,385,086
Explanation:
To answer this question, we need to use the present value of an ordinary annuity formula:

Where:
- A = Value of the annuity
- i = interest rate
- n = number of compounding periods
Because the interest rate is annual, it is convenient to convert it to a monthly rate.
4.5% annual rate = 0.37% monthly rate.
The number of compounding periods will be = 12 months x 30 years
= 360 months
Now, we simply plug the amounts into the formula:


You will need to have saved $2,385,086 if you plan to retire under the aforementioned circumstances.
Answer:
Dept. Y = $18,200
Dept. Z = $21,800
Explanation:
Wages expense for this question consist of direct wages and indirect wages. The direct wages are allocated to their respective departments while the indirect wages are apportioned between the two departments.
Therefore, first do the allocation then the remainder $24,000 is apportioned equally between the two departments, Dept. Y and Dept. Z.
Dept. Y Dept. Z
<u>Departmental wage expenses :</u>
Direct wages $6,200 $9,800
Indirect wages $12,000 $12,000
Total $18,200 $21,800
Answer:
B) $135 F
Explanation:
The computation of the variable overhead efficiency variance for supplies cost is given below:
= (Actual hours - Standard hours) × Standard Rate
= (10,930 hours - 3,800 × 2.9 hours) × $1.50 per hour
= (-90 hours) × $1.50 per hour
= $135 favorable
Hence, the variable overhead efficiency variance for supplies cost is $135 favorable
Therefore the option b is correct
Answer:
Discourage Torri from continuing. Encourage Julie to continue.
Explanation:
The progress of all trainees is tracked. Those not showing good progress are moved to less demanding programs. This means that there is hope of still doing/getting a job, if they don't pass this test.
REQUIREMENT: By the 10th time doing the test, trainees must be able to complete the task in a maximum of 1 hour.
1st Trainee: Torri Olson-Alves
5 hours on Unit 4; 4 hours on Unit 8
Should Torri be encouraged to continue? NO.
There are 10 units or repetitions in all. If Torri spends 5 hours on Unit 4 and spends 4 hours on Unit 8, then Torri is slow or isn't making much progress. After 4 repetitions, her marginal product only increased by an hour. She most likely won't make it to 1 hour by the 10th repetition.
2nd Trainee: Julie Burgmeier
4 hours on Unit 3; 3 hours on Unit 6
Should Julie be encouraged to continue? YES.
Julie makes a progress of 1 hour after 3 repetitions. We can predict that after another 3 repetitions (on Unit 9) progress would be made again and by Unit 10, she would have met the required benchmark.
