Answer:
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Given the following information:
General Overhead $80,000 Number of direct labor hours
Number of direct labor hours 9,000 12,000= 21,000
<u>To calculate the activity rate, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Activity rate= estimated costs / total amount of allocation rate
General Overhead= 80,000 / 21,000
General overhead= $3.81 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Jamal
Explanation:
Given that
Number of required slides = 50 slides
Creating slides Per hour = 15 slides
Bill amount per hour = $750
So by considering the above information, Bette's opportunity cost of creating slides would be
= Bill amount per hour ÷ creating slides per hour
= $750 ÷ 15 per hour
= $50
For making 50 slides, the opportunity cost would be
= $50 × 50 slides
= $2,500
And, Jamal opportunity cost is 30% lower, so it would be
= $50 - $50 × 30%
= $50 - $15
= $35
And, the billing rate is 25% higher, so it would be
= $750 + $750 × 25%
= $750 + $187.50
= $937.50
So in one hour, it would be
= $937.50 ÷ 35 slides
= 26 slides
Based on the creating slides, the Jamal gains a competitive advantage over Bette
Answer:
Unamortized discount is $43,700
Explanation:
Unamortized bond discount=original bond discount-amortization to date
original bond discount is $46,000
Amortization =interest payable-interest expense
interest payable=$400,000*10%*6/12
=$20,000
Interest expense=$354,000*10%*6/12
=$17,700
amortization of discount=$20,000-$17,700
=$2300
unamorized bond discount=$46000-$2300
=$43,700
The unamorized bond discount at the end of the first six months is $43,700
Answer:
Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.
Explanation:
Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.
The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.
Answer and explanation:
Emotional appeals are ethically valid in persuasive speeches when the speaker wants to emphasize a specific matter that is relevant for the audience to understand. By showing anger, pity or fear the speaker tries to put into the audience's shoes but immediately after that exposes the solution to the possible problem.
However, there might be cases when emotional appeals could be taken too personal which turns the speech subjective. The speaker must avoid getting to that point otherwise the audience will be unlikely to identify themselves with what the speaker is trying to expose.
