St. Vincent's, Inc., currently uses traditional costing procedures, applying $800,000 of overhead to products Beta and Zeta on t

he basis of direct labor hours. The company is considering a shift to activity-based costing and the creation of individual cost pools that will use direct labor hours (DLH), production setups (SU), and number of parts components (PC) as cost drivers. Data on the cost pools and respective driver volumes follow. Product Pool No.1 (Driver: DLH) Pool No. 2 (Driver: SU) Pool No. 3 (Driver: PC) Beta 1,200 45 2,250 Zeta 2,800 55 750 Pool Cost $ 160,000 $ 280,000 $ 360,000 The overhead cost allocated to Zeta by using activity-based costing procedures would be: Multiple Choice None of the answers is correct. $560,000. $240,000. $356,000. $444,000.

The overhead cost that should be allocated to Zeta via activity-based costing is $356,000.

The following formula for determining the overhead cost allocated to Zeta:

= Zeta pool no 1 ÷ total pool no 1 × pool cost + zeta pool no 2 ÷ total pool no 2 × pool cost + zeta pool no 3 ÷ total pool no 3 × pool cost

= 2,800 ÷ 4,000 × $160,000 + 55 ÷ 100 × $280,000 + 750 ÷ 3,000 x $360,000

= $356,000

Therefore we can conclude that the overhead cost that should be allocated to Zeta via activity-based costing is $356,000.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Answers are: 
<span>Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.
Consumers have enough goods, at the given price
</span><span>Producers use their resources efficiently

At the equilibrium price, the quantity bought= quantity sold. Consumers have enough goods at the given price, meaning that there isn't anyone who wants to buy the good at that price but can't, and producers use their resources efficiently.

The whole economy does not waste resources, since this is the market-efficient outcome, and there aren't many shortages or surpluses for the same reason. </span>

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$12 and $180

Explanation:

The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

As we know that

The predetermined overhead rate is

= Estimated total indirect cost  ÷ expected direct labor hours

= $96,000 ÷ 8,000

= $12

And, the indirect cost is

= Predetermined overhead rate × number of hours

= $12 × 15

= $180

We simply applied the above formula

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

c. $18, 750

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of interest expense i.e. accrued is shown below:

= Issued amount × yield on the bonds × given months ÷ total number of months in a year

= $562,500 × 10% × 4 months ÷ 12 months
