A) Direct labor hrs for car wheels = estimated wheels *direct labor per wheel  

40,000 *1hr = 40,000      

   

Direct labor hrs for Truck      

10,000 * 3hr= 30,000      

   

total direct labor hrs 40,000+30,000 = 70,000  hrs

Overhead rate is total est oh cost/ total direct labor hrs    

770,000/70,000= 11.00    

B) Car truck wheels 40,000*11 =440,000

Truck wheels 10,000*11=110,000

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": honesty.

Explanation:

By relying on employees' honesty, companies who provide workers certain benefits such as corporate mobile phones or credit cards believe employees will make correct use of those resources.

Luden [163]

HERE IS/ARE THE FULL QUESTION(S):

The small island nation of Kaboom is a simple economy with no​ government, no​ taxes, and no imports or exports. Kaboomers​ (citizens of​ Kaboom) are creatures of habit. They have a rule that everyone saves exactly 40 percent of income. Assume that planned investment is fixed and remains at 225 million Kaboomian dollars. Further assume that autonomous consumption​ (independent of​ Y) is​ zero, so consumption​ (C) is MPC times Upper YMPC×Y.

The following data are estimates for the island of​ Kaboom:

bullet• Real GNP​ (Y): 422 million Kaboomian dollars

bullet• Planned investment spending ​(I)​:225 million Kaboomian dollars

You are asked by the business editor of the Explosive Times​, the local​ newspaper, to predict the economic events of the next few months.

Based on the data​ given, you predict inventories will DECREASE and the level of real GNP will INCREASE.

Things will stop changing when SAVINGS EQUAL INVESTMENT.

Kaboom's economy will reach equilibrium when its real GNP​ = 563 MILLION Kaboomian dollars

Trout farming is a perfectly competitive industry and all trout farms have the same cost curves.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

(i) The farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units

(ii)  The farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down

(iii)  The two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200)

Explanation:

(i)According to given data,  When output is 200 but price is $20, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm breaks even. But since this price is higher than AVC of $15, the farm can cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will continue producing 200 units.

(ii) When output is 200 but price is $12, this price is equal to ATC, so the farm makes economic loss. Also, this price is lower than AVC of $15, so the farm cannot cover its revenue using its total variable cost, therefore the farm will shut down.

(iii) The farm's supply curve is the portion of its Marginal cost (MC) curve above the minimum point of AVC. Since price equals MC, the two relevant points on supply curve will be: (Price = $12 & Quantity = 0) and (Price = $25 & Quantity = 200).
