Answer:
1. $53.75 per direct labor hour
2. $80.625 per machine hour
Explanation:
Total manufacturing overhead costs= $1112500+$500000 = $1612500
Total direct labor hours= 11000+19000=30000
Total machine hours= 5000+15000=20000
1. Company’s single plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours
= Estimated overhead costs/Estimated direct labor hours
=$1612500/30000
=$53.75 per direct labor hour
2. Company’s single plantwide overhead rate based on machine hours
= Estimated overhead costs/Estimated Machine hours
=$1612500/20000
=$80.625 per machine hour
Answer:
The local government issues a limited number of restaurant licenses every year. (A)
Explanation:
Bertha claims that the burgers sold by Luke's Express Diner are priced a bit too high, because they enjoy monopoly power in the town; hence with the local government issuance of a limited number of restaurant licenses every year, this will break the monopoly that Luke's Express Dinner enjoy, thus weakening Bertha's arguments.
The answer is right, if not are there choices
Answer: 1. 18 times
2. Park is in better position
Explanation:
1. Times interest earned is a financial ratio that measures interest coverage. It's essentially to check if a company can pay it's debt payments and is calculated by either EBIT or EBITDA divided by the total interest expense. The higher the better and anything above 2.5 times is usually considered.
Calculating would therefore be,
= $6,120,000 /$340,000
= 18 times.
2. As mentioned in the first answer, for the Times interest earned, the higher it is, the more favourable it is. So Park Company will be considered safer and are most definitely in a better or worse position than its competitor to make interest payments if the economy turns bad. The fact that theirs is 18 means that they can pay off their interest expense 5 times more than their competitor who can only repay 12 times.
