Answer:
Total salary expense in week 1 = $440 x 150 = $66,000
Total deductions due to taxes = $121.66 x 150 = $18,249
Actual direct deposit of payroll in week is $66,000 minus $18,249 = $47,751
Explanation:
Number of employees = 150
Hourly wage = $11
Weekly hours worked = 40 hours
Weekly wage = 40 x 11 = $440 per employee
Taxes deduction:
Federal - 15% of gross earnings = $66
State - 5% of gross earnings = $22
FICA - 7.65% of first #128,400 = $33.66
Total deductions = $121.66
Net Earnings = $318.34
Answer:
Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = $9,096 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Actual variable overhead rate = 
= 
Therefore variance with the budgeted standard variable overhead
= (Standard Overhead rate - Actual overhead rate) 
Actual Hours
= ($9.70 - $10.34) 6,400 = -$4,096
And Fixed Overhead variance = Standard Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed Overhead = $69,000 - $74,000 = -$5,000
Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = -$4,096 + -$5,000 = -$9,096
Since the value of variance is negative it means the expense both variable and fixed are over absorbed, which means it is unfavorable.
Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = $9,096 Unfavorable
Answer:
Total Cost of Work in Process
$57,854
Total cost of the units
d. $120,060
Total cost of beginning inventory
c. $62,206
Explanation:
Department G has 3,600 units which were 25% completed. The units completed during the period are 11,000.
3,600 * 25% = 900
Units completed 11,000
total units 11,900
Cost per unit is $10.08.
Total cost of units completed = 11,900 * 10.08 = $120,060.
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option - An increase in the state of technology.
The aggregate supply curve in the long run is a vertical line and parallel to the y-axis. |t is perfectly inelastic in the long run.
Now, if there is increase in the money supply in the economy then this will increase the aggregate demand in the short run. Hence, aggregate demand curve shift rightwards, as a result real GDP increases in the short run and move beyond the potential level of real GDP.
Also, there is a creation of inflationary gap in the economy, as a result real GDP shifts back to its initial position at potential real GDP. So, there is no increase real GDP in the long run.
Similarly, decrease in interest rates and an increase in government spending will also results in inflationary gap in the economy. Therefore, doesn't affect the real GDP in the long run.
But an increase in the state of technology is capable of increasing real GDP in the long run. Improvement in the state of technology will shift the long run aggregate supply curve rightwards, as result there is an increase in potential GDP in the long run.
Answer:
- Cheaper labor.
- Cheaper auto parts.
Explanation:
China has cheaper labor rates than the United States in comparative industries including in the motor vehicle producing industry. Ford may want to take advantage of this to make cars at a smaller cost in China and therefore make more profit in sales.
Car parts are also easier and cheaper to acquire in China. Steel for instance, is a very valuable commodity in motor vehicle manufacturing and China happens to be the largest producer in the world. Having access to cheaper materials would increase Ford's profitability as well.
