Answer:
D. It is cheaper to produce some goods in the U.S. because productivity is higher here.
Explanation:
If the statement "It has been all downhill for the West since China entered the world market; we just can't compete with hundreds of millions of people willing to work for almost nothing." Fails to connect wages and productivity, it means that despite China having many people willing to work for low wages it does not mean they are more productive.
Productivity is defined as how effectively a production process is. It is the ratio between output and input used.
If China has low productivity with the large workforce it has, it will be cheaper to produce goods in the United States that has a higher productivity.
The United States will be able to maximise inputs used in the production process to give higher output.
Answer: the opportunity cost of $600
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Tina withdraws $20,000 from her money market account to start up her own house cleaning business and that over that time, the account would have earned 3 percent interest.
In order to properly account for all costs of her business, Tina must not forget the opportunity cost of $600. This is calculated as 3% of $20,000.
The opportunity cost is what Time had to forgoes in order to start her business.
Answer:
Overhead rate= 1.2
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The Work in Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,000 at the end of an accounting period.
Direct material= $500, & $300
Direct labor= $400 & $600
Manufacturing overhead =?
Work in process= direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead
3000= 800 + 1000 + MOH
3000-800-1000= MOH
1200= MOH
Overhead rate= moh/direct labor
Overhead rate= 1200/1000= 1.2
Answer:
the manufacturing overhead for the month should be overapplied by $16,000
Explanation:
Given that
The debit to the manufacturing overhead is $53,000
And, the credit balance is $69,000
So, it should be overapplied by the
= $53,000 - $69,000
= $16,000
Therefore the manufacturing overhead for the month should be overapplied by $16,000
