Engineers at a tire manufacturing company investigated the effect of a new rubber compound on the tire life of a certain brand o

f tires. From a sample of 16 tires, the engineers constructed a 99 percent confidence interval for the mean tire life, in miles, as 62,550±2,026. Suppose the company intends to claim a maximum tire life for advertising purposes. Based on the interval, of the following, which is the maximum plausible value for the mean tire life, in miles?

64,576 miles.

Explanation:

When the companies advertise their new products they want to present the product in the best possible light as possible. This is due to edging out the competition as in many products small details make a huge difference. The same is the case with the tires and their endurance. The longer way a set of tires takes you the better, since they are expensive product so changing them less often is very beneficial.

In this case, the interval for the mean tire life varies by 2,026 from 62,550, both up and down. The minimum will be 60,524 miles, while the maximum a tire can pass is 64,576. The company will of course go for the maximum value to make the product look as attractive and as good as possible to the customers.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C that is $(140,000)

Explanation:

Elimination of the North Division will result in the overall net income or loss which is computed as:

Elimination of the North Division will result in the overall net income or loss = South Net Income (NI) - North's allocated costs

where

South Net Income is $100,000

North's allocated costs is $240,000

So,

= $100,000 - $240,000

= $(140,000)

Therefore, it will result in loss of $140,000

Note: The Net Income will be decline or decrease by $240,000 when the division was dropped.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The amount of rent expense that will be reported on the Year 1 income statement is $1,800 .

The cash outflow for rent that would be reported on the Year 1 statement of cash flows is $5,400.

Explanation:

Though the amount paid was paid on October 1, Year 1 it will only be expensed from October to December for year 1.

The duration of the payment is 12 months, hence  

Monthly amortization = $7,200/12 = $600

Rent expense for year 1 = $600 × 3 = $1,800

The ending balance in the prepaid rent account will be  

= $7,200 - $1,800

= $5,400

This will be the cash outflow for rent that would be reported on the Year 1 statement of cash flows.

Bressman Inc. has provided the following data concerning one of the products in its standard cost system.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$268 Favorable

Explanation:

Variable overhead variance can be computed by using the following formula,

Budgeted hours = 0.20/unit

Variable overhead efficiency variance

= Standard Overhead rate * (Actual Hours - Standard Hours)

= 6.7 * ( 1,820 - (9300*0.2))

Efficiency variance = $268 Favorable, as actual hours for actual activity are less than standard hours at actual activity.

Hope that helps.

Last month, Vern’s Assembly Department had a unit materials cost of $4.00 and a unit conversion cost of $5.00. The department tr
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The total cost of the department’s ending work in process inventory is $684,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost is shown below:

= Material cost + conversion cost

where,

Material cost = (Transferred units + ending work in progress) × material cost per unit

= (68,000 units + 12,000 units) × $4

= $320,000

Conversion  cost = (Transferred units + ending work in progress × percentage of completion) × material cost per unit

= (68,000 units + 12,000 units × 40%) × $5

= $364,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $32,000 + $364,000

= $684,000
