Complete question:

You have just been hired by SecuriDoor Corporation, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new garage door opening device. The president has asked that you review the company’s costing system and “do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs.” You find that the company has never used a flexible budget, and you suggest that preparing such a budget would be an excellent first step in overhead planning and control.

      After much effort and analysis, you determined the following cost formulas and gathered the following actual cost data for April:

                                          Actual Cost in April

 Utilities    $16,700 plus $.14 per machine-hour      $ 21,020    

 Maintenance   $38,300 plus $1.50 per machine-hour   $ 59,100    

 Supplies      $.40 per machine-hour          $ 7,000    

 Indirect labor  $94,700 plus $1.80 per machine-hour   $ 128,000    

 Depreciation   $68,400    $ 70,100  

During March, the company worked 16,000 machine-hours and produced 10,000 units. The company had originally planned to work 18,000 machine-hours during March.

Dmitriy789 [7]

Marginal productivity theory assumes that a worker’s income is a function of the contribution of that worker to the value of the output. in business, this is called the "value-added" approach.

There is a correct theory called marginal productivity theory. Wages are paid at a level equal to the marginal revenue product of labor, the MRP (value of the marginal product of labor). MRP is the increase in income caused by the increase in output produced by the last employed worker.

The marginal productivity theory of income distribution proposes that each individual should receive income based on their contribution to total output. The marginal productivity theory of income distribution has been criticized for the following reasons. Income from inheritance is inconsistent with the theory.

If you have a low credit score, lenders are more likely to give you what type of interest rate? A. A low interest rate B. A high
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

B) A high interest rate.

Explanation:

A low credit score means a bad credit score. Meaning you are not that reliable in paying your credit back. If you were reliable, they would make it easy for you and give you a low interest rate. However, your credit score says otherwise so they will give you a high interest rate since you are a higher risk.
