Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$400,000

Explanation:

total variable manufacturing overhead = sum of total machine hours required during the year x variable manufacturing overhead rate per machine hour

vodomira [7]

Answer:

C :Job 1000, $1,860; Job 1001, $3,100

The computation of the total cost is shown below:

For Job 1000:

= $1,200 + 30 × $15 + 30 × $7

= $1,200 + $450 + $210

= $1,860

For Job 1001:

= Direct materials + Direct labor hours × wage rate per hour × Direct labor hours × overhead rate per hour

= $2,000 + 50 × $15 + 50 × $7

= $2,000 + $750 + $350

= $3,100

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

D) The supply of the output from the hydroelectric power plants to increase

Explanation:

The externality here is a negative one where the hydroelectric plants has to bear the cost of pollution as the paper mills operates.

Correcting means to make the paper mills pay for the external costs of their production and compensate the power plant for the additional cost that incurred as they have to clean up the water.

As the cost of production reduces, the power plant will be more willing to supply electricity at similar prices, ie. their supply curve will shift to the right. It will intersect with the demand curve of the consumers at a point with higher quantity (and maybe lower price)

In other words, they will supply more electricity.

A consumer products company wants more creativity in its research and development operations. The company has spent large amount
Ugo [173]

Answer:

• Diversify the workplace

• Use creativity- and mind-stimulating games

• Use (a) flexible workplace(s)

Explanation:

1. Diversify the workplace

Employees consisting of different types of people, in terms of age, social status, race, gender and ethnicity, can help boost creativity in the workplace. Different backgrounds and experiences from the members will allow for different ideas to flow among the team.  Differences will also make the team appreciate each other and make the entire team versatile.

2. Use creativity- and mind-stimulating games

Games that are open ended and not structured can help boost creativity. Each participant will have a different response which will allow more development and inventive ideas. Research can be done through guessing games that stimulate the mind or  artistic games such as acting scenes, etc.  

3. Use (a) flexible workplace(s)

Office space with air-conditioners and four walls may restrict the amount of creativity and result in the same, dull, exhausted ideas over time. To increase the level of creativity, the team should use different workplaces randomly for a change of scenery. One day spent at a park, the next day could be spent in a laboratory and the next could be spent in a library. Different environments can spark new, fresh ideas that can assist with research and development.
