Answer:
Total overhead cost= $43,520
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.80
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.10
First, we need to calculate the total fixed overhead:
Total fixed overhead= 3.1*9,800 = $30,380
Now, the total overhead cost for 7,300 units:
Total variable overhead= 7,300*1.8= 13,140
Total fixed overhead= 30,380
Total overhead cost= $43,520
Your home insurance provides for replacement value for personal property losses. A microwave is stolen. It cost $258 two years ago and has an expected life of six years. A comparable microwave costs $366 today. What amount will the insurance company pay

Blume Corporation leases equipment for a ten-month period. The entire related lease payment is due at the end of the ten-month period. The journal entry to recognize the monthly accrual related to the lease will include a debit to:
Answer: d. short-term lease expense.
Explanation:
The debit has to go to an expense account to recognize that a lease expense is being incurred. The relevant account would be a short-term lease expense account because the lease is a short term lease as it is to last for less than a year.
The credit will go to an accrued lease account to recognize that it is a current liability because liabilities are credited when they increase.
The burden of a tax is shared by producers and consumers. Under what conditions will consumers pay most of the tax? Under what conditions will producers pay most of it? A. It depends on who is legally obligated to pay the tax. Typically producers are required to pay the tax and therefore bear most of the burden. B. If demand is relatively more elastic than supply, producers will pay more of the tax. C. It depends on who is legally obligated to pay the tax. Typically consumers are required to pay the tax and therefore bear most of the burden. D. If demand is relatively less elastic than supply, producers will pay more of the tax.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
If demand is more elastic than supply, if price is increased as a result of tax, demand would fall more than supply. As a result, producers would bear more tax burden
a) The market for automobile tires after the price of rubber increases. b) The market for a hardcover book in which the publisher overestimated demand, charging more than the equilibrium price. (Instead of a shift, indicate the quantity of the shortage or surplus of the book.) c) The market for a normal consumer good after a significant rise in average income. d) The market for infant cribs after a significant decline in the birth rate. For the following three parts, answer each question completely, directly, and succinctly. e) If the demand for a good decreases, ceteris paribus, what will happen to the equilibrium price
Answer:
Decreases.
Explanation:
If the demand for a good decreases and all other things are equal then there will be decrease in equilibrium price because there is a direct relationship between demand and equilibrium price. In direct relationship, if one increases the other automatically increases and vice versa so same is the case with demand and equilibrium price. As demand increases the equilibrium price will also increases and vice versa.

Answer:
Unitary cost= $24
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Total direct material= $13,116
Direct labor= $22,560
Factory overhead= $16,788
Number of units= 2,186
First, we need to calculate the total cost:
Total cost= 13,116 + 22,560 + 16,788
Total cost= $52,464

Fox Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. At the beginning of the period, the Corporation estimated manufacturing overhead would be $18,000 and direct labor-hours would be 15,000. The actual figures were $19,500 for manufacturing overhead and 16,000 direct labor-hours. The cost records for the period will show:
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the information above, we will calculate the predetermined overhead rate first.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated direct labor
= $18,000 / 15,000
= $1.2
Then,
Manufacturing overhead = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual direct labor hours
= $1.2 × 16,000
= $19,200
Then,
Cost records for the period = Manufacturing overhead - Actual manufacturing overhead
= $19,200 - $19,500
= $300 over applied

Red Raider Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with direct labor hours as the allocation base. Next year, 560,000 units are expected to be produced requiring 0.90 direct-labor hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $2,530,000 $900,000
Direct labor hours 168,000 DLH 110,000 DLH
Machine hours 30,000 MH 8,000 MH
a. $12.34 per unit
b. $63.95 per unit
c. $7.32 per unit
d. $11.11 per unit
e. $15.06 per unit
Answer:
d. $11.11 per unit
Explanation:
Plant wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing cotsts / Total direct labor hours
Plant wide overhead rate = ($2,530,000 + $900,000) / (168,000+110,000)
Plant wide overhead rate = $3,430,000 / 278,000
Plant wide overhead rate = $12.34 per DLH
Overhead cost per unit = Plant wide overhead rate * Direct hours per unit
Overhead cost per unit = $12.34 * 0.90
Overhead cost per unit = $11.11 per unit
Synovec Company is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 30 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.65, what is the current share price
Answer:
$87.03
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current share price
First step is to calculate p1
p1= $2.65(1+.30)^3(1+.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1= $2.65(1.30)^3(1.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1=6.054932/.06
p1=100.92
Now let calculate the Current price
p0= [$2.65(1.30) / 1.10] +[$2.65(1.30)^2 / 1.10^2] + [$2.65(1.30)^3 / 1.10^3] + [$100.92/ 1.10^3]
p0=3.1318+4.4782/1.21+5.82205/1.331+$100.92/1.331+
p0=3.1318+3.700992+4.37419+75.82
p0=$87.03
Therefore the current share price is $87.03

Equivalent Units of Materials Cost The Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company had 4,500 ounces in beginning work in process inventory (90% complete). During the period, 74,900 ounces were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,700 ounces (40% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials if materials are added at the beginning of the process? fill in the blank 1 units
Answer: 74,100 units
Explanation:
If the materials are added at the beginning of the process then the opening work in process inventory would need to be deducted from the completed inventory for the period. Also there would be no need to multiply the units by their completion level because they are assumed to be at 100% completion because materials were added at the very beginning.
Total equivalent units for direct materials is:
= (Completed units - Opening inventory) + Closing work in process
= (74,900 - 4,500) + 3,700
= 74,100 units

"ng liquidity) Aylward Inc. currently has $ in current assets and $ in current liabilities. The company's managers want to increase the firm's inventory, which will be financed by a short-term note with the bank. What level of inventories can the firm carry without its current ratio falling belo"
Answer: $209,500
Explanation:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
They plan to increase current assets by increasing inventory. They plan to do this by using a short term note which is a current liability. Both the numerator and the denominator will therefore increase.
Assume the maximum inventory increase to be:
2.20 = (2,161,000 + x) / (868,000 + x)
2.20 * 868,000 + x = 2,161,000 + x
1,909,600 + 2.20x = 2,161,000
2.20x - x = 2,161,000 - 1,909,600
1.20x = 251,400
x = 251,400 / 1.2
x = $209,500
