Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.25 per machine hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated manufacturing overhead= $530,850
Total estimated machine hours= 64,247*2 + 98,875*3= 425,119
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 530,850 / 425,119
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.25 per machine hour
Tri-County G&T sells 145,000 MWh per year of electrical power to Boulder at $ per MWh, has fixed costs of $ million per year, and has variable costs of $ per MWh. If Tri-County has MWh of demand from its customers (other than Boulder), what will Tri-County have to charge to break even?
Answer:
$105.85
Explanation:
Given that :
Fixed cost = $83.1 million
Variable cost = $30 / MWh
Number of demand, $1,000,000 MWh
Variable cost to other customers =[(1,000,000 + 145000) * $30) = $34350000
To break even :
Total Cost = Total revenue
(fixed Cost + variable cost) = total revenue
Let amount per MWh required to break even = x (amount sold to other customers)
(83100000 + 34350000) = (145000*80 + 1000000x)
117450000 = 11600000 + 1000000x
117450000 - 11600000 = 1000000x
105850000 = 1000000x
x = 105850000 / 1000000
x = $105.85
Grays Company has inventory of 25 units at a cost of $6 each on August 1. On August 3, it purchased 35 units at $11 each. 27 units are sold on August 6. Using the FIFO perpetual inventory method, what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold?
Answer:
$174
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold
Cost of goods sold=(25 units*$6) + [(25 units -27units)*$12]
Cost of goods sold =$150+$24
Cost of goods sold=$174
Therefore the amount that will be reported as cost of goods sold for the 27 units that were sold is $174
Which of the following statements about setups is FALSE? Group of answer choices Setup time is dependent on the number of units subsequently produced.
Answer: Setup time is dependent on the number of units subsequently produced.
Explanation:
It should be noted that a setup is a required activity and a set of activities. A setup time is also referred to as the changeover time.
The statement that "Setup time is dependent on the number of units subsequently produced" is false. The setup time refers to the interval that is needed to adjust the machine settings in order to make it ready to process a job. The setup time isn't dependent on the number of units that's subsequently manufactured.
If Marjorie makes an investment of principal, and leaves the full amount, both principal and interest in the account to some time in the future when she withdraws all funds, she is earning what type of interest
Answer: Compounding
Explanation:
Based on the information given, we can infer that Marjorie earns a compounding interest. The compound interest is the interest on a loan that is calculated based on the initial principal as well as the interest that is accumulated from the previous periods. In compounding interest, the interest is earned on the principal and the interest amount. The compounding interest is also referred to as the interest on interest.

Round the percentage to the nearest whole number. 1. $fill in the blank 1 2. fill in the blank 2 % b. If the margin of safety for Canace Company was 20%, fixed costs were $1,875,000, and variable costs were 80% of sales, what was the amount of actual sales (dollars)? (Hint: Determine the break-even in sales dollars first.) $fill in the blank 3
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is given below:
a
Margin of safety in dollars is
= $1,200,000 - $960,000
= $240,000
As a percentage of sales is
= $240,000 ÷ $1,200,000
= 20%
b
Break-even in sales dollars is
= $1,875,000 ÷ (1 - 0.8)
= $9,375,000
Actual sales (dollars) is
= $9,375,000 ÷ (1 - 0.2)
= $11,718,750
In this way it should be determined

When you retire, you wish to have $3 million in your retirement account. You decided to add $2,000 every quarter to your retirement account and invest to generate annualized return of 8% from your investment, how many years do you think it will take to have $3 million in the account
Answer:
43.35 years
Explanation:
Use the following formula to determine the number of years
Future Value of Annuity = Periodic Annuity x ( 1 + Periodic Interest rate )^numbers of periods ) - 1 / Periodic Interest rate
Where
Future Value of Annuity = $3 million = $3,000,000
Periodic Annuity = $2,000 per quarter
Periodic Interest rate = Interest rate x Quarterly fraction = 8% x 3/12 = 2%
Numbers of periods = n = ?
Placing values in the formula
$3,000,000 = $2,000 x ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
$3,000,000 / $2,000 = ( 1 + 2% )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1 / 2%
1,500 x 2% = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 = ( 1.02 )^n ) - 1
30 + 1 = 1.02^n
31 = 1.02^n
Log 31 = n log 1.02
n = Log 31 / Log1.02
n = 173.41
Now calculat ethe nUmbers of years as follow
Numbers of years = n x 3/12
Numbers of years = 173.41 x 3/12
Numbers of years = 43.35 years
Department R had 4,700 units in work in process that were 78% completed as to labor and overhead at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,200 units of direct materials were added, 28,500 units were completed, and 2,400 units were 32% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period was a.25,602 b.35,600 c.28,500 d.30,302
Answer: 25602
Explanation:
The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period will be calculated as follows:
Beginning work in process = 4700 × (100% - 78%) = 4700 × 22% = 1034
Add: Unit started and completed = 28,500 - 4700 = 23800
Add: Ending work in process = 2400 × 32% = 768
The equivalent units of production for conversion costs will be:
= 1034 + 23800 + 768
= 25602
Kiwi Plc sold an antique painting which had been purchased inJanuary 1996 for £21,000. It was sold for £4,200 in January 2021. The proceeds were received net of auction fees of £650. What is Kiwi Plc's allowable loss?
Answer:
$17,450
Explanation:
The antique painting that was bought in January 1996 was sold for $21,000
It was sold for 4,200 in January 2021
It received a net auction fee of 650
Therefore the allowable loss can be calculated as follows
= 21,000-4200+650
= 17,450
Hence the allowable loss is $17,450
U.S. real gross domestic product changed from $14.6 trillion in 2006 to $14.4 trillion in 2009. During that same time period, the share of manufactured goods (e.g., cars, appliances) of U.S. real gross domestic product was 12.8 percent in 2006 and 12.0 percent in 2009. What was the dollar value of manufactured output Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. In 2006
Answer:
Missing word "b. In 2009"
a. Dollar value (2006) = Real GDP (2006) * Share of manufacturing goods (2006) / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 14.6 * 12.8 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = 186.88 / 100
Dollar value (2006) = $1.8688 trillion
Dollar value (2006) = $1.87 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2006 is $1.9 trillion
b. Dollar value (2009) = Real GDP (2009) * Share of manufacturing goods (2009) / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 14.4 * 12.0 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = 172.8 / 100
Dollar value (2009) = $1.728 trillion
Dollar value (2009) = $1.73 trillion
Thus, the dollar value of manufactured output in 2009 is $1.7 trillion

Say that Fed policy requires all banks to hold 8% of deposits in reserves. If Ventura Bank does not hold any excess reserves and the Fed increases the reserve requirement to 10%, what will be the result
Answer:
the money supply decreases
Explanation:
Reserve ratio is the percentage of deposits that is required of commercial banks to keep as reserves. The higher the ratio, the lower the money supply
For example, assume reserve ratio is initially 8% of deposits. It is later reduced to 10%. 1000 is deposited
Increase in money supply = deposit / reserve ratio
1000 / 0.08 = 12,500
1000 / 0.1 = 10,000
It can be seen the money supply decreased when reserve ratio was increased from 8% to 10%
Evaluate whether all of the following are considered to be investment (I) in calculating GDP.
a. The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use
b. The purchase of a new house
c. The purchase of corporate bonds
Answer:
only the purchase of a new house would be considered investment spending of the three options
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment. The purchase of a new limousine for the president is an example of consumption expenditure
The purchase of a new automobile for private, non-business use is an example of consumption spending on durables

The Dominican Republic and Nicaragua both produce coffee and rum. The Dominican Republic can produce 25 thousand tons of coffee per year or 5 thousand barrels of rum. Nicaragua can produce 18 thousand tons of coffee per year or 3 thousand barrels of rum. Suppose the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua sign a trade agreement in which each country would specialize in the production of either coffee or rum.
RequireDd
a. Which country should specialize in coffee?
b. Which country should specialize in rum?
Answer:
a. Nicaragua
b, Dominican Republic
Explanation:
A country should specialise in the production of goods for which it has a comparative advantage in its production
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other countries.
The Dominican Republic
opportunity cost of producing rum = 25,000 / 5000 = 5
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 5000 / 25000 = 0.2
Nicaragua
opportunity cost of producing rum = 6
opportunity cost of producing coffee = 0.17
The Dominican Republic has a lower opportunity cost in the production of rum. It should specialise in the production of rum
Nicaragua has a lower opportunity cost in the production of coffee. It should specialise in the production of coffee
During a period, an RV company purchased three vehicles for $33,000, $46,000, and $24,000, and sold two of them for $125,000. Using the specific identification method of costing inventory, they identified the $46,000 vehicle as still in stock. Calculate the gross profit for the period.
Answer: $68,000
Explanation:
If the inventory that remains is the $46,000 then that means that the cars costing $33,000 and $24,000 have been sold.
With specific identification, the actual prices of the stock are used so the cost of goods sold is:
= 24,000 + 33,000
= $57,000
The gross profit is therefore:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold
= 125,000 - 57,000
= $68,000
1. Center of the World. The Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999. Its value moved from S5,000/$ to S25,000/$. What was the percentage change in its value?2. Reais Reality. The Brazilian reais (R$) value was R$1.80/$ on Thursday, January 24, 2008. Its value fell to R$2.39/$ on Monday, January 26, 2009. What was the percentage change in its value?
Answer:
1- The percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- The change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
Explanation:
1- Given that the Ecuadorian sucre (S) suffered from hyper-inflationary forces throughout 1999, and its value moved from S5,000 / $ to S25,000 / $, to determine what was the percentage change in its value, the following calculation:
5000 = 100
25000 = X
25000 x 100/5000 = X
2500000/5000 = X
500 = X
500 - 100 = 400
Therefore, the percentage change in the value of the Ecuadorian Sucre was an increase of 400%.
2- Given that the Brazilian reais (R $) value was R $ 1.80 / $ on Thursday, January 24, 2008, and its value fell to R $ 2.39 / $ on Monday, January 26, 2009, to determine what was the percentage change in its value the following calculation must be performed:
1.80 = 100
2.39 = X
2.39 x 100 / 1.8 = X
239 / 1.8 = X
132.77 = X
132.77 - 100 = 32.77
Therefore, the change in the percentage of the value of the Brazilian Real was a decrease of 32.77% of its value.
An individual in the 36 percent tax bracket has $20,000 invested in a tax-exempt account. If the individual earns 10 percent annually before taxes and inflation is 3.0 percent per year, what is the real value of the investment in 10 years?
Answer:
the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614
Explanation:
The computation of the real value of the investment is given below:
but before that the rate of return is
= (1.10) ÷ (1.03) - 1
= 6.8%.
Now the
Future value
= $20,000 × (1 + 0.068)^10
= $38,613.80
Hence, the real value of the investment in 10 years is $38,614
The same should be calculated
