bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sykora, Inc., which uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours, estimated total overhead for the year to be $12,000,000 and total direct labor hours to be 320,000 hours.

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

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 12,000,000/320,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

In April, Sykora incurred actual overhead costs of $1,050,000 and used 30,000 hours.

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

Allocated MOH= 37.5*30,000= $1,125,000

Over/under allocation= real MOH - allocated MOH

Over/under allocation= 1,050,000 - 1,125,000= 75,000 overallocated

Which one of the following statements is true?1) If the market price falls below the Average Fixed Costs (AFC) of production the

frozen [14]

Answer: E. None of the Statements is true.

Explanation:

Statement 1 is false because the firm should shutdown only after market prices have dropped below Average Variable Costs not Average Fixed costs because the fixed costs have already or will be incurred regardless. The best way to limit losses would be to stop the activity that adds more costs per unit which would be variable costs.

Statement 2 is also false because profit will be made when the firm sells at a price that exceeds Average Total Cost not just Average Variable Cost.

The firm maximises profit at a point where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost. If Marginal Revenue exceed marginal cost as it the case here, it means resources are being underutilised and the perfectly competitive firm needs to produce more to maximise profit not less. Statement 3 is therefore wrong as well.

morpeh [17]

Answer with its Explanation:

The target costing is a costing technique that helps to reduce the cost of the company operations by setting cost targets for the operations. The first step under target costing is to set a selling price for the product and the second step is to set the target profit margin. Now at this position we are able to derive the target cost by taking the difference of profit margin and the selling price of the product. At this stage the actions and reforms required to achieve this target cost are determined and implemented in the current operating activities. The best part of the target costing is that it says that the pricing though matters but the main aspect of a product success is its cost controls. If the company is able to control the cost of the product then it can control the movement of prices in the market. So target costing specially focuses and stresses upon cost control procedures.

As Target costing is all about cost controlling and can be applied to any sector. In Ghana, target costing will help to control the cost of the services that the banking sector renders to its customers. This reduction in services cost can be achieved by automation, installation of new softwares, Investing in automated teller machines, etc. By gaining efficiencies, the banking sector will substantially reduce its cost thus achieving its target cost.

By achieving the target cost the bank will have to sell at the same rate as the bank had invested its time and money in efficiency gaining activities. There are a lot of activities and products that can be automated and that can help to achieve the target cost. For example, promoting internet banking will reduce the cost of ATM management, paper cost, management time, additional branch opening or extension of building, etc. We can see how easily internet banking will assist the banking sector to achieve its target costs.

Suppose you observe the following situation:

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The answer is:

* Expected return on the market: 2.74%

* Risk-free rate: 11.45%

Explanation:

Denote Rm is expected return on the market and Rf is risk-free rate. We have:

* For stock Pete: 14.5% = Rf + 1.35 x ( Rm - Rf) and

* For stock Repete: 11.8% = Rf + 1.04 x (Rm-Rf)

From the two equations above, we have: 0.31 * (Rm- Rf) = 2.7% <=> Rm - Rf = 8.71%;

So we have: 14.5% = Rf + 1.35 * 8.71% <=> Rf = 2.74%;

=> Rm = 2.7% + Rf = 8.71% + 2.74% = 11.45%.

So, Rf = 2.74%; Rm = 11.45%.
