Why would a monarch from one country be interested in hiring an explorer from a foreign country?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>An example would be King Ferdinand of Spain having Columbus do his exploring for him. It is two fold, in that the riches or the conquering acquires land or resources and it is a show of power, more wealth equals more power. The explorer being from a foreign country is another feather in the cap, showing that they have an edge over that country and that the countryman was willing to go elsewhere and work for a competitor.</span>

If nominal wages fall which of the following will occur in the short run? The SRAS curve will shift to the right The SRAS curve

bixtya [17]

Answer:

The SRAS curve will shift to the right.

Explanation:

A decline in nominal wages will reduce the cost of hiring labor. The overall cost of production will reduce as well. The firms will be able to increase production and investment.

This increase in production and investment will increase the aggregate supply. As a result, the short-run aggregate supply curve will move to the right. This will cause the equilibrium price to fall and the equilibrium quantity to increase.

Assume Zap industries reported the following adjusted account balances at year-end. 2019 2018 Accounts Receivable $ 1,690,200 $

Scrat [10]

Answer:

amount of Bad Debt Expense for 2019 = $92,000

Explanation:

A bad debt expense is a uncollectible receivable amount incurred on a credit sale to a customer, who is no longer able to pay the debt, due to bankruptcy or other financial problems. Companies make provision for these kind of credit losses in the allowance for doubtful accounts, and hence records the amount used from the allowance for doubtful accounts as the bad debt expense.

In our example, the allowance for doubtful account for 2019 is $92,000, hence since it was used to settle part of the credit losses, this becomes the bad debt expense.

Question: Colonels uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $480,000, with the estimated cost driver of 240,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates these costs:

Small Medium Large

Units 32,000 12,000 4,000

Direct Material cost $5 $8 $9

Direct Labor Hrs / Unit 4 Hrs 6 Hrs 10 Hrs

If the labor rate is $25 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?

Answer:

Step 1: Identify Absorption Basis

Here, absorption basis is Labor hours.

Step 2: Find the Overhead Absorbed Rate by dividing total Overhead by total absorption basis.

The formula is as under:

Overhead Absorbed=Total Overhead / Total Absorption Basis... Equation 1

By putting values in Equation 1:

Overhead absorption Rate OAR =$480,000 / 240,000 Machine Hrs = $2 per Labor hour

Step 3: Now calculate overhead per unit for product Small, Medium and Large by simply multiplying OAR with Direct Labor hours consumed per unit

Overhead per unit for Product X= OAR * Direct Labor hours consumed per Product X....................Equation 2

Now simply put the values in Equation 2 of direct labor used by each product and calculate Overhead per unit.

For Product Small:

Overhead per unit for Product Small= $2 * 4 direct labor hours= $8 per unit

For Product Medium:

Overhead per unit for Product Medium= $2 * 6 direct labor hours= $12 per unit

For Product Large:

Overhead per unit for Product Large= $2 * 10 direct labor hours= $20 per unit

Step 4: Add the per unit prime cost to Overhead cost per unit calculated in the Step 3 to calculate the total unit cost of the product. Prime cost is the sum of all direct costs. In this question, Prime cost includes Direct labor cost and Direct material cost.

Now first of all find prime cost of each product by using following formula:

Prime cost per unit for Product X= (Direct material cost per unit of Product X) + (Direct labor cost per unit of Product X)............Equation 3

Thereafter add prime cost to overhead unit cost calculated in step 3.

For Product Small:

Prime cost per unit for Small= ($5 per unit) + ($25 per direct labor hour * 4 number of direct labor hours)=$5 per unit + $100 per unit= $125 per unit

Total Unit cost of product Small= Overhead cost per unit for Small + Prime cost per unit for Small =$125 per unit + $8 per unit=$133 per unit

For Product Medium:

Prime cost per unit for Medium= ($8 per unit) + ($25 per direct labor hour * 6 number of direct labor hours)=$5 per unit + $150 per unit= $155 per unit

Total Unit cost of product Medium= Overhead cost per unit for Medium + Prime cost per unit for medium =$155 per unit + $12 per unit=$167 per unit

For Product Large:

Prime cost per unit for Large= ($9 per unit) + ($25 per direct labor hour * 10 number of direct labor hours)=$9 per unit + $250 per unit= $259 per unit

Total Unit cost of product Large= Overhead cost per unit for Large + Prime cost per unit for Large =$259 per unit + $20 per unit=$279 per unit

Mr . venter is always late for work and takes long brakes it that unproffesional or unethical?

VLD [36.1K]

That's unprofessional. Unethical would be if he was a doctor and was sharing private information about his patients or decided not to treat them even though he's a doctor.
