The amount of manufacturing overhead allocated for the year based on machine hours would have been​ _____ .​ (Round intermediary calculations to the nearest cent and final answer to the nearest​ dollar.) A. $274,850. B. $238,900. C. $244,100. D. $212,261.

Answers

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $274,850

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated manufacturing overhead cost $238,900

Estimated machine hours 20,000

Actual machine hours 23,000

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 238,900/20,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $11.945 per machine-hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 11.95*23,000

Allocated MOH= $274,850

The Victor Company sells two products. The following information is provided: Product A Product BUnit selling price$100 $150 Unit variable cost$30 $70 Number of units produced and sold 20,000 60,000 What is the weighted average contribution margin per unit?A. $75.00
B. $80.00
C. $77.50
D. $72.50

Answers

Answer:

Weighted average contribution margin= $77.5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A Product B

Unit selling price $100 $150

Unit variable cost $30 $70

Number of units produced and sold 20,000 60,000

First, we need to determine the sales proportion:

Product A= 20,000/80,000= 0.25

Product B= 0.75

To calculate the weighted-average contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.25*100 + 0.75*150) - (0.25*30 + 0.75*70)

Weighted average contribution margin= 137.5 - 60

Weighted average contribution margin= $77.5

Best Brands Appliance Mart is getting ready for its annual Labor Day sale. There are two Best Brands stores, one in midtown Manhattan and another in Amityville. Merchandise is stored in two warehouses, one in Brooklyn and one in Baldwin. From experience in past years, the owners know the big mover during the sale is tablets. The Manhattan store needs 500, while the Amityville store will require 400. Each warehouse has 600 tablets in stock. It costs $1 and $2 to ship a tablet from Brooklyn to Manhattan and to Amityville, and $2 and $4 to ship one from Baldwin to Manhattan and Amityville. What is the best shipping strategy for getting the tablets from the warehouses into the stores to minimize the shipping cost?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Assuming we represent x to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Manhattan

Thus, (500 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Manhattan

Also, suppose we represent y to be the tablets sent from Brooklyn to Amityville

It implies that (400 - x) to be the tablets sent from Baldwin to Amityville

x ≥ 0 ; y ≥ 0  

⇒   500 - x ≥ 0  & 400 - y ≥ 0

The Shipping cost Z = 1(x) + 2(500-x) + 2(y) + 4(400-y)

Z = x + 1000 - 2x + 2y + 1600 - 4y

Z = x -2y + 2600

To minimize the shipping cost:

\left \{ 500-x \geq 0  \ \implies \   x\leq 500}} \atop {400-y \geq 0  \ \implies \   y\leq 400}} \right.

Thus, by replacing the coordinate values (x,y) into Z, we have:

Point    Coordinates(x,y)    Value of Z (shipping cost)

0             (0,0)                             0

A             (0,400)                     1800

B             (500,400)                 1300

C             (500,0)                      2100

Hence, the minimum cost is 1300.

x = 500 units   and  y = 400 units

The S&P 500 index delivered a return of 10%, 15%, 15%, and -30% over four successive years. What is the arithmetic average annual return for four years?
A) 3.00%
B) 3.50%
C) 2.25%
D) 2.50%

Answers

Answer:

D) 2.50%

Explanation:

The arithmetic average return is simply the mean of all given return rates. There are four return rates and their values are, 10%, 15%, 15%, and -30%

AAR = (10+15 +15-10)/(4)\nAAR= 2.5\%

S&P 500 index delivered an arithmetic average annual return of 2.5% for four years
