Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual manufacturing overhead= $340,000

Budgeted machine hours= 10,000

Budgeted direct-labor hours= 20,000

Budgeted direct-labor rate= $14

Budgeted manufacturing overhead= $364,000

Actual machine hours= 11,000

Actual direct-labor hours= 18,000

Actual direct-labor rate= $15

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each cost driver:

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Machine-hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 364,000/10,000= $36.4 per machine hour

Direct-labor hours:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 364,000/20,000= $18.2 per direct labor hours

Direct-labor dollars:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 364,000/(20,000*14)= $1.3 per direct labor dollar

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Machine-hours:

Allocated MOH= 36.4*11,000= $400,400

Direct-labor hours:

Allocated MOH= 18.2*18,000= $327,600

Direct-labor dollars:

Allocated MOH= 1.3*(18,000*15)= $351,000

Finally, we can determine the over/under allocation:

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Direct-machine hours:

Over/under allocation= 340,000 - 400,400= $60,400 overallocated.

Direct-labor hours:

Over/under allocation= 340,000 - 327,600= $12,400 underallocated.

Direct-labor dollars:

Over/under allocation= 340,000 - 351,000= $11,000 overallocated

Janelle Heinke, the owner of Ha'Peppas!, is considering a new oven in which to bake the firm's signature dish, vegetarian pizza.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

a) Oven A = 1,667; Oven B = 2,353 pizzas.

b) Oven A

c) Oven A

d) 13,334 pizzas

Explanation:

Since nothing was mentioned regarding her time availability, the capacity of each oven will not be taken into account.

The income equation for ovens A and B, respectively, are:

$A=(14-2)x-20,000\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000$

Where 'x' is the number of pizzas sold.

a) The break-even occurs when income is zero:

$A=0=(14-2)x-20,000\\x_A=1,666.66\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000\\x_B=2,352.94$

Rounding up to the next whole pizza, the break-even for oven A is 1,667 pizzas and for oven B it is 2,353 pizzas.

b) For x = 9,000:

$A=(14-2)*9,000-20,000\\A=\$88,000\\B=(14-1.25)*9,000-30,000\\B=\$84,750$

Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.

c) For x = 12,000

$A=(14-2)*12,000-20,000\\A=\$124,000\\B=(14-1.25)*12,000-30,000\\B=\$123,000$

Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.

d) She should switch ovens at the value for 'x' that causes B to be greater than A:

$A$

Rounding up to the next whole pizza, she should switch ovens at a volume of 13,334 pizzas.

Granny Gums has established a scholarship at the Martin College of Dentistry. She will make deposits into an endowment account t

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Scholarship Amount would be $45.68

Explanation:

Deposits into an endowment account that pays 12% per year

Year 0 Deposit $100

Year 1 Deposit $90

Year 2 Deposit $80

Year 3 Deposit $70

Year 4 Deposit $60

Year 5 Deposit $50

Year 6 Deposit $40

First find the present worth of the gradient deposits.

P = 100 + 90(P/A, 12%, 6) - 10(P/G, 12%, 6) = $380.69

A = 380.69 (0.12)

A= $45.68

How does a change in a country's real exchange rate affect its net exports?

Gnom [1K]

Answer: (C) When a country's real exchange rate appreciates, it imports more and exports less, causing its net exports to fall.

Explanation:

When a country's real exchange rate appreciates i.e the value of its currency increases, it imports more because more products could be bought with the same amount of the currency as a result of its increased value, and it export less because their goods would become more expensive for other countries resulting in reduced demand. Therefore, resulting in the fall of its net export. This is a form of trade balance.
