Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Cultural similarities.

Explanation:

Cultural similarities refer to customs and special terms that for one region or country are widely accepted but not for others. Those actions or phrases could be exactly the same but carry a different or even negative meaning in different places. This is not limited to actions and terms used in day-to-day activities but also under formal circumstances.

Greenwood Company manufactures two products—14,000 units of Product Y and 6,000 units of Product Z. The company uses a plantwide
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Greenwood Company

1. Company's plantwide overhead rate = $57

2. Allocation of Manufacturing overhead based on plantwide overhead rate:

Product Y = $57 * 9,000 = $513,000

Product Z = $57 * 3,000 =  $171,000

3. Activity rate for the Machining activity cost pool = $20 per MHs.

4. Activity rate for the Machine Setups activity cost pool = $500 per setup.

5. Activity rate for the product Design activity cost pool = $42,000 per product.

6. Activity rate for the General Factory activity cost pool = $25

7. The batch-level activity = Machine setup

8. The product-level activity = Product Design

9. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Y = $447,000

10. Using the ABC system, Manufacturing overhead cost assigned to Product Z = $237,000

11. Using the plantwide overhead rate, the percentage of the total overhead costs allocated to product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($513,000/$684,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($171,000/$684,000 * 100)

12. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machining costs assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 80% ($160,000/$200,000 * 100)

Product Z = 20% ($40,000/$200,000 * 100)

13. Using the ABC system, the percentage of the Machine Setups cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 20% ($20,000/$100,000 * 100)

Product Z = 80% ($80,000/$100,000 * 100)

14. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the product design cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

Product Z = 50% ($42,000/$84,000 * 100)

15. Using the ABC system, what percentage of the General Factory cost assigned to Product Y and Product Z is:

Product Y = 75% ($225,000/$300,000 * 100)

Product Z = 25% ($75,000/$300,000 * 100)

Number of products               1                     1

Direct labor-hours          9,000            3,000

Plantwide overhead rate = Total overhead costs/direct labor-hours

= $684,000/12,000 = $57 per DLHs

Overhead Rate =

An outdoor barbecue grill manufacturer uses a standard costing system in which standard machine-hours (MHs) is the measure of ac
Zina [86]

Answer:

Fixed overhead volume variance $ 2801.3

Explanation:

<em>The difference between budgeted Fixed Overheads and Applied Fixed Overheads gives the Fixed overhead volume variance.</em>

Given Data

(Planned )Denominator level of activity 4,600MHs

Fixed overhead cost$50,140

Actual hours 5,000MHs

Standard hours allowed for the actual output 4,743MHs

Actual total fixed manufacturing overhead cost$48,690

<em>We need Budgeted Fixed overhead and we can find it by dividing the fixed costs by the denominator level of activity and multiplying it with actual hours.</em>

<em>We  also need  to find Applied Fixed overhead  by dividing the fixed costs by the denominator level of activity and multiplying it with  standard  hours for actual output.</em>

<u>Calculations</u>

Budgeted Fixed Overhead= ($50,140 /4,600MHs )* 5,000MHs

                                              = $ 54,500

Applied Fixed overhead= ($50,140 /4,600MHs )* 4743MHs

                                         = $ 51698.7

Formula

Fixed overhead volume variance=Budgeted Fixed overhead- Applied Fixed overhead

Fixed overhead volume variance= $ 54,500- $ 51698.7= $ 2801.3

Which of the following activities is not a component of the operating cycle?A)Sale of merchandiseB)Payment of employees' salarie
Sloan [31]

Answer:

B)Payment of employees' salaries

Explanation:

Operating cycle: The operating cycle is that cycle in which the firm makes the collection of cash with respect to the sales and make the payment with respect to the purchase of the inventory

The cycle start from days of inventory outstanding, days of sales outstanding, and days of payable outstanding

In mathematically,  

Operating cycle = days of inventory outstanding + days of sales outstanding - days of payable outstanding

Thus, option B is correct.

What is the expected value when a $1 lottery ticket is bought in which the purchaser wins exactly $10 million if the ticket cont
Nadusha1986 [10]

We expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket

<u>Explanation:</u>

six winning numbers from = { 1, 2, 3, ....., 50}

So, the probability of winning:

P(win) = \frac{ no of favorable outcomes}{no of possible outcomes}

P(win) = \frac{1}{^5^0C_6} \\\\P (win) = \frac{6! X (50 - 6)!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{6! X 44!}{50!} \\\\P(win) = \frac{1}{15,890,700}

The probability of losing would be:

P(loss) = 1 - P(win)

P(loss) = 1 - \frac{1}{15,890,700} \\\\P(loss) = \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700}

According to the question,

When we win, then we gain $10 million and lose the cost of the lottery ticket.

So,

$10,000,000 - 1 = $9,999,999

When we lose, then we lose the cost of the lottery ticket = $1

The expected value is the sum of the product of each possibility x with its probability P(x):

E(x) = ∑ xP(x)

= 9,999,999 X \frac{1}{15,890,700}  + ( -1 ) X \frac{15,890,699}{15,890,700} \\\\=- \frac{5,890,700}{15,890,700} \\\\= - \frac{58,907}{158,907} \\\\= - 0.37

Thus, we expect to lose $0.37 per lottery ticket
