Answer:
The correct answer is: Manufacturers use predetermined overhead rates to allocate to production jobs the production costs that are not directly traceable to specific jobs.
Explanation:
If we are able to trace a cost directly to a product we will not include it in manufacturing overhead. Manufacturing overhead was created to allocate costs that are not directly traceable to a product. It helps manufacturers to allocate costs with certain precision.
Answer:
Ruby should go to college.
Explanation:
Ruby is currently 50 years old and earning $50,000 per year.
She would like to retire at 67.
She is thinking of going back to college, to complete a graduate degree.
After completing a graduate degree from the college she would earn $55,000.
The total cost of a graduate degree is $75,000.
Ruby still has 17 years to work and earn.
Her income will increase by $5,000 after college
The increase in income earned after college until retirement
= $5,000 
17
= $85,000
Since the increase in income is greater than the cost of going to college, Ruby should go to college.
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
When the price of ground beef increases, this means that there is an increase in the cost of production of hamburgers because the beef is used as an input in the production of hamburgers.
So, an increase in the price of beef will result in a decrease in the supply of hamburgers because it will become less profitable for the suppliers and this will also shifts the supply curve leftwards.
Hence, this lower supply of hamburgers will cause the price of hamburgers to rise.
