Answer: A. dialectic method

Explanation:

The DIALECTIC METHOD or DIALECTICS at it's basic level is a sort of debate between people of opposing viewpoints who wish to use the debate to come up with the best viewpoint by stating the facts and truths of their viewpoints.

They speak on whatever misgivings they may have about the other and explain in a logical manner why their views are better.

It is 'sort' of like a debate because unlike debates, it isn't supposed to get emotional but be fact and merit based.

Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $400,000 for the year along with 20,000 direct labon hours. Actual manufacturing over
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

If overhead was overapplied, then the COGS should be debited overhead.

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 400,000 / 20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $20 per DLH

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

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

Allocated MOH= 20*21,000

Allocated MOH= $420,000

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

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 415,000 - 420,000

Overapplied overhead= $5,000

If overhead was overapplied, then the COGS should be debited overhead.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a. 0.4840 percentage points

b. Project is overvalued

c. Required return from the portfolio would increase.

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached as picture

New Allocation on Transfer Fuels corporation = 30%+35%

New Allocation on Transfer Fuels corporation = 65%

Beta after the new allocation = (20%*1.50) + (15%*1.10) + (65%*0.5)

Beta after the new allocation = 0.3 + 0.165 + 0.325

Beta after the new allocation = 0.79

New Required rate = Risk free rate + Beta* Market risk premium

New Required rate = 4%+ 0.79*5.5%

New Required rate = 4% +  4.345%

New Required rate = 8.345%

Hence, the change in required rate = 8.829% - 8.345% = 0.4840% . In this case, the project is overvalued if Brandon expects 6.85% . If Higher beta is chosen the portfolio risk would increase and required return from the portfolio would increase.

<span>In a pull system, the accumulation of excessive inventory in front of a workstation is avoided even if there are problems such as equipment failure at that workstation which prevent it from completing its work. True. A pull system is a manufacturing strategy used to keep the amount of waste down in a production process. People in the manufacturing side of the process use this to help reduce the amount of waste and still make enough products to keep the demand fulfilled.</span>

1   Particulars        Rate                             Weight          Weighted rate

2   Debt           = 7.75%(1 - 40%)                 0.45               =B2×C2

                        = 4.65%

3   Equity         = (0.65/(19 × (1 - 10%)))+6%

                        = 9.80%                               0.55             = B3×C3
