Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated Value Actual Value

Manufacturing overhead cost $732,000 $842,000

Direct labor hours 14,640 hours 16,600 hours

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

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 732,000 / 14,640

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $50 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 50*16,600

Allocated MOH= $830,000

<u>Finally, the over/under allocation:</u>

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 842,000 - 830,000

Underapplied overhead= $12,000

True or false: unlike the economic system of a country, the legal system is not influenced by the prevailing political system.
tigry1 [53]

The statement is False. Unlike the economic system of a country, the legal system is not influenced by the prevailing political system.

Free market, command, and mixed economies are the three primary types. The chart that follows contrasts command and free-market economies; mixed economies combine the two. Both people and corporations are free to choose their own economic course.

A common law system has the advantage of allowing you to be certain of the outcome of your case if a similar case has already been heard. The disadvantage is that if you have a unique circumstance, a court might easily create a new law and apply it to your situation.

Real Per capita GDP measures the standard of living of the people in a country. The higher the Real Per capita GDP, the higher the standard of living

Real Per capita GDP = Real GDP / population  

Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

Because GDP does not measure underground economy (illegal activities) , leisure , it would be difficult to compare either pair of countries
