Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. For Predetermined overhead rate
Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead for 4 months) ÷ (Total number of units)
where,
Total estimated direct manufacturing cost is
= $166,400 × 4 months
= $665,600
And, the total number of units is
= 4,700 units + 8,700 units + 4,300 units + 7,900 units
= 25,600 units
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $665,600 ÷ 25,600 units
= $26 per unit
2. Now the allocated cost for each month is shown below:
For January
= 4,700 units × $26
= $122,200
For February
= 8,700 units × $26
= $226,200
For March
= 4,300 units × $26
= $111,800
For April
= 7,900 units × $26
= $205,400
c. Now the total cost per unit is
= $22 + $26
= $48 per unit
Answer:
Heinz sells ketchup and other sauces and condiments. Their demand is relatively stable and doesn't change that much year after year. The demand for their products is not that seriously affected by economic recessions or expansions.
On the other hand, Sony is a consumer electronics company and the demand for their products can vary drastically from one year to another. It depends on trends and innovations, and their total sales are affected by disposable income (expansions increase disposable income while recessions decrease it).
FedEx is also affected severely by economic recessions or expansions. Since FedEx ships and transports goods, when the economy is booming, FedEx is doing excellent. But if the economy starts to cool down or enters a recession, the amount of goods transported falls.
I think the correct answer would be primary source. It is an account of an event created by someone who took part in or witnessed the event. It is also known as original source. It is any document, manuscript, diary, autobiography, artifact, recording or any source that was made at the time being studied. Examples are interviews, archives, photographs, letters, films and scrapbooks. When the data from these primary sources are obtained from other source wherein they are being analyzed and interpreted then these sources will be called as a secondary source. Examples are articles, books, magazines, surveys, internet resources.
