Answer:
this is a cost minimization problem, but it is missing some numbers, so I looked for similar questions (see attached PDF):
minimization equation = 20x₁ + 22x₂ + 18x₃ (costs per ton)
where:
x₁ = mine I
x₂ = mine II
x₃ = mine III
the constraints are:
4x₁ + 6x₂ + x₃ ≥ 54 (high grade ore)
4x₁ + 4x₂ + 6x₃ ≥ 65 (low grade ore)
x₁, x₂, x₃ ≤ 7 (only 7 days per week)
using solver, the optimal solution is
2x₁, 7x₂, and 5x₃
a. The number of days Mine I should operate = <u>2 days
</u>
b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = <u>7 days
</u>
c. The number of days Mine III should operate = <u>5 days
</u>
d. The total cost of the operation for next week = <u>$284,000</u>
Answer:
1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.
2. The fixed overhead budget variance is $4,000 unfavourable and the fixed overhead volume variance is $10,000 favourable.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:
predetermined overhead rate for the year=<u>Total fixed overhead cost year</u>
Budgeted direct labor-hours
=$ 250,000/25,000
=$10,000
1. The fixed portion of the predetermined overhead rate for the year is $10,000 per direct labor hour.
In order to calculate the fixed overhead budget variance, we use the following formula:
2. fixed overhead budget variance=Actual fixed overhead cost for the year- budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year
=$ 254,000-$ 250,000
=$4,000 unfavourable
In order to calculate the fixed overhead volume variance, we use the following formula:
fixed overhead volume variance=budgeted fixed overhead cost for the year-fixed overhead appliead to work in process
=$ 250,000-(26,000×10)
=$10,000 favourable
Answer: state ownership
Explanation:
State ownership was once considered the ideal engine for economic growth, but resulted in inflated public-sector bureaucracies and inefficient public companies.
In state owned enterprises, there are inefficiencies among the employees as they don't really strive to achieve their goals unlike those that works in private establishments who are more serious with their work.
Answer:
D All of these answers are correct.
Explanation:
Given that the corporation had 1,000,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. On March 31, the company declared a 20% stock dividend. Market value of the stock was $18/share. As a result of this event
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par = 1000000*20%*(18-10) = 1600000
Stock dividend = 1000000*20%*18= 3600000
Edison's total stockholders' equity was unaffected because increase in Stock dividend leads to decrease in retained earnings by the same amount.
Answer is option D All of these answers are correct.
