The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The business decision based on the company where you work would be this. To open a new small branch of the fast-food restaurant as a concession in the municipal stadium.

The incremental cost is the future costs as a result of this business decision. This means that we have to consider extra money on a monthly basis to pay for the rent of the concession booth at the Municipal stadium.

The opportunity cost is that instead of opening our branch in the new downtown mall, we decided to move with the stadium option. Having decided to be at the mall could have allowed us to have more clients on a daily basis, especially on weekends.

The sunk cost is a cost from the past, an historical cost that really is not important in the present time to make a decision. Maybe, just a reference to a case in the past. And that's it.

Here we can refer to a cost when we opened the first location of the restaurant, but it was five years ago. Those were different situations, necessities, and conditions.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a. Single Plant wide  Factory Overhead  Rate = $ 140 per machine hour

Overhead Rate of  Assembly Department $ 120 per machine hour

Overhead Rate of  Testing Department=    $ 150 per unit per machine hour.

Total Overhead per Unit    Commercial  $ 588      Residential $  462      

Explanation:

Pineapple Motor Company

Assembly Department  Factory Overhead 360,000

Testing Department  Factory Overhead 900,000

Total  Factory Overhead 1,260,000

Direct machine hours were estimated as follows:

Assembly Department 3,000 hours

Testing Department 6,000

Total 9,000 hours

                                      Commercial              Residential

Assembly Department       1.4 dmh                    1.1 dmh

Testing Department             2.8                           2.2

Total machine hours per unit 4.2 dmh           3.3 dmh

Single Plant wide  Factory Overhead  Rate = Total  Factory Overhead 1,260,000/Total 9,000 hours

a. Single Plant wide  Factory Overhead  Rate = $ 140 per machine hour

Overhead Allocated to Assembly Department = No of Hours * Rate

                      = 3000  * $ 140 = $ 420,000

Overhead Allocated to Testing Department = No of Hours * Rate

                      = 6000  * $ 140 = $ 840,000

b. Overhead Rate of  Assembly Department = Factory Overhead / Machine Hours= 360,000/3,000 hours = $ 120 per machine hour

                     

Overhead Rate of  Testing Department=   Factory Overhead / Machine Hours=  900,000/ 6000 hours=  $ 150 per unit per machine hour.

Overhead Allocated

                                         Commercial              Residential

Assembly Department       1.4 *120                   1.1 dmh *120

                                               168                          132

Testing Department             2.8*150                    2.2*150

<u>                                                420                             330                    </u>

<u>Total Overhead per Unit     $ 588                       $  462              </u>

c. ABC approach is better as it gives an estimate of the overhead per unit both for the Commercial and Residential department using the assembly and testing overheads rates separately. The single plant wide rate gives a mere estimate of the overall costs.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The law of diminishing marginal returns holds for a situation in which some inputs are variable and some inputs are fixed.

<h3>What is the law of diminishing marginal returns?</h3>

The law of diminishing marginal returns states that after some optimal level of capacity is reached in a production process, an additional factor of production would result in a lessening of output (quantity of production).

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that the law of diminishing marginal returns would only hold for an economic situation in which some inputs are variable and some inputs are fixed.
