dalvyx [7]

Answer:

b. She receives $10,000

Explanation:

Taxes owed = (1/4 of income) - $15,000.

Taxes owed = (1/4 x 20,000) - $15,000.

= 5,000 - 15,000 => -10,000

Hence, she receives $10,000 from the government.

A negative income tax is a system where people earning below a certain amount receive supplemental pay from the government instead of paying taxes to the government.

Damm [24]

Answer:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 0.24 per hour

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = $128.69

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete and its data are merged together. The complete question with the sorted data is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Two types of cars (Deluxe and Limited) were produced by a car manufacturer last year. Quantities sold, price per unit, and labor hours are given below.

                                QUANTITY                     $/UNIT

Deluxe car            3,655 units sold            $7,700/car

Limited car           5,850 units sold            $9,200/car

Labor, Deluxe        19,000 hours                 $15/hour

Labor, Limited       24,600 hours                 $17/hour

What is the labor productivity for each car? Provide two sets of figures: units per labor hour, and dollar of output per dollar of labor expense. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

For each type of car, the following formulae can be used:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour = Units sold / Labor hours ……. (1)

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense = (Units sold * Price per car) / (Labor hours / Labor rate per hour) ……………. (2)

Using equation (1), we have:

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Deluxe car = 3,655 / 19,000 = 0.19 per hour

Labor productivity in units per labor hour for Limited car = 5,850 / 24,600 = 0.24 per hour

Using equation (2), we have:

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Deluxe car = (3,655 * $7,700) / (19,000 * $15) = $98.75

Labor productivity in dollar of output per dollar of labor expense for Limited car = (5,850 * $9,200) / (24,600 * $17) = $128.69

These can be translated into a table as follows:

                                     Labor Productivity  

                               Units/hour         Dollars

Deluxe Car              0.19/hour           $98.75

Limited Car             0.24/hour         $128.69

Which of the following distinguishes mediation from negotiation? Group of answer choices vested authority with a third party dec
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last option: Involving a third party.

Explanation:

To begin with, the major difference between the terms of negotiation and mediation is that in the last one there is a third party involved that seeks for the most quickly and benefitial deal for the both parties that are discussing, while in the negotiation there is not a third party and the two parties existing seeks for their own benefits, even if that means to harm the other person in the process of getting the best for one of them. That is why that the mediation needs to use a third party that has to be impartial to the situation and only wants the best for the parties in the conflict.

Departmental Overhead Rates Lansing, Inc., provided the following data for its two producing departments:
QveST [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Overhead rates

For Molding Deptt

= Total Estimated overhead ÷ Total Machine hours

= $400,000 ÷ 5,000

= $80 per machine hour

For Polishing Deptt

= Total Estimated overhead ÷ Total Labor hours

= $80,000 ÷ 20,000

= $4 per machine hour

2. Overheads assigned to Form A is

= (80 × 3500) + (4 × 5000)

= $300,000

Overheads assigned to Form B is

= (80 × 1500) + (4 × 15000)

= $180,000

Now

Overhead cost per unit

Form A = $300,000 ÷ 30,000 = $10 per unit

Form B = $180,000 ÷ 50,000 = $3.6 per unit
