Saddle Inc. has two types of handbags: standard and custom. The controller has decided to use a plantwide overhead rate based on

direct labor costs. The president has heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company’s operations. Standard Custom Direct labor costs $60,000 $103,000 Machine hours 1,400 1,290 Setup hours 96 400 Total estimated overhead costs are $300,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $195,000, and $105,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.
1. Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
2. Compute the overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 12.25.)
3. Determine the difference in allocation between the two approaches. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.)

Answer:

Saddle Inc.

1. Overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach is:

= $1.84

2. The overhead rates using activity-based costing approach are:

Machining = $72.49

Machine setup = $211.69

3. The difference in allocation between the two approaches:

Differences:

ABC approach        $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Using plantwide     $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Differences              $11,408    -$11,332             $76

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total estimated overhead costs = $300,000

Machining activity = $195,000

Machine setup activity = $105,000

                             Standard   Custom     Total

Direct labor costs $60,000 $103,000  $163,000

Machine hours           1,400        1,290       2,690

Setup hours                    96          400          496

Overhead rate based on direct labor costs = $1.84 ($300,000/163,000)

Overhead rates using activity-based costing approach:

Machining = $72.49 ($195,000/2,690)

Machine setup = $211.69 ($105,000/496)

Allocation of overhead costs:

                                 Standard   Custom         Total

Using plantwide       $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Using ABC:

Machining                $101,486    $93,512    $194,998

Machine setup           20,322      84,676      104,998

Total costs               $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Differences:

ABC approach        $121,808   $178,188   $299,996

Using plantwide     $110,400  $189,520  $299,920

Differences               $11,408    -$11,332            $76

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Master status

Explanation:

In the social development of an individual, some certain set of characteristics or social identity is peculiar to individuals in which that individual is known for. Such social identity is what we refer to as the status of an individual.  

Status of an individual can be achieved or ascribed. Achieved statuses such as occupation, athlete, teacher,  parent, spouse, criminal etc, all statuses gained throughout the course of individuals’ lives. Ascribed status on the or hand are statuses that an individual is born with, such as sex, race etc.

As an individual develops and interacts in a society, any particular status that makes a person well known for and easily identified with is referred to as the master status of the individual. The master status overrides other statuses of the individual. It is the status that confers a social identity that is exceptional on an individual. Master status can be ascribed or achieved.

The status of Venus Williams as one of the top women’s tennis players in the world is a Master status, which is an achieved status that overrides all other statuses that she is known for. Wherever her name  mentioned, the first thing that comes to people’s mind is her master status of being a star in tennis.

mylen [45]

Answer:

New Keynesian economists critique rational expectations by arguing that short-term wage stickiness is brought about by

b. imperfect information and efficiency wages.

Explanation:

The assumption in macroeconomic theories is that economic agents, households, and companies exercise rational expectations.  The New Keynesian economics posits that rational expectations have become distorted as a result of market failure, arising from asymmetric information and imperfect competition, thus questioning the ability of markets to self-regulate and self-correct.
