Answer:

7 years (to the nearest year)

Explanation:

Given that;

A = amount

P= principal

t = time

r = rate

A =3P(given in the question)

Formula for compound interest;

A = P(1 + r)^t

Substituting values;

3P = P(1 + 18/100)^t

3P/P= (1.18)^t

3 = (1.18)^t

log 3 = t log 1.18

t = log 3/log 1.18

t = 0.4771/0.0719

t = 6.6 years

t = 7 years (to the nearest year)

Katen [24]

Answer:

$10.60 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Calculation for the overhead rate

First step is to calculate the Direct labor hours for car wheels using this formula

Direct labor hours for car wheels = Estimated wheel produced * Direct labor hour per wheel

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor hours for car wheels= 40,000 * 1

Direct labor hours for car wheels= 40,000 hours

Second step is to calculate Direct labor hours for Truck wheels using this formula

Direct labor hours for Truck wheels = Estimated wheel produced * Direct labor hour per wheel

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor hours for Truck wheels= 10,000 * 3

Direct labor hours for Truck wheels= 30,000 hours

Third step is to calculate the Total direct labor hours

Total direct labor hours = 40,000 + 30,000

Total direct labor hours=70,000 hours

Now let calculate the Overhead rate using this formula

Overhead rate = Total estimated overhead costs / Total direct labor hours

Overhead rate= $742,000 / 70,000 hours

Overhead rate= $10.60 per direct labor hour

Therefore Overhead rate is $10.60 per direct labor hour
