Answer:
Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute
Explanation:
From the question :
The Model E can be illustrated perfectly as shown below:
Process Time Required Predecessor Task Learning Rate
per Unit
A 9 82
B 12 A 86
C 18 B 81
D 9 C 90
E 12 D 80
F 17 E 88
G 14 F 83
H 12 G 85
I 8 H 82
Now For the minutes per week for each Process; we have :
Process Time Required Predecessor Learning Minutes
per Unit Task Rate (Week 16)
A 9 82 4.069096
B 12 A 86 6.564098
C 18 B 81 7.74841
D 9 C 90 5.9049
E 12 D 80 4.9152
F 17 E 88 10.19482
G 14 F 83 6.644165
H 12 G 85 6.264075
I 8 H 82 3.616974
The objective here is to determine the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16
So, we can equally regard the Cycle Time = Bottleneck of Activity for Week 16.
Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute in as much as it is the the largest activity time for the week 16
Given that the demand per week is : = 247
The available time per week = 40 hours = 40 × 60 hours = 2400 minutes
Talk Time = Available Time Per Week/Demand Per Week
Talk Time = 2400/247
Talk Time = 9.716599
Thus; here the cycle time is greater than the talk time.
Pearson Motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity, with no preferred stock. The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bonds is 10%, and its tax rate is 40%. Pearson's CFO estimates that the company's WACC is 14.50%. What is Pearson's cost of common equity
Answer:
21.45%
Explanation:
Pearson motors has a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% common equity
The yield to maturity is 10%
Tax rate is 40%
WACC is 14.50%
First of all we have to find the tax cost of debt
Tax cost of debt= Yield to maturity×(1-tax rate)
= 8×(1-25/100)
= 8×(1-0.25)
= 8×0.75
= 6%
The next step is to calculate the common equity
Therefore, the common equity can be calculated as follows
WACC= Respective cost×Respective weight
14.50= (6×0.45)+(0.55×common equity)
14.50= 2.7+(0.55×common equity)
14.50-2.7= (0.55×common equity)
11.8= (0.55×common equity)
Common equity= 11.8/0.55
Common equity= 21.45%
Hence Pearson's cost of common equity is 21.45%

The total expenses done in the past year for each facility, The total number of people consuming the utility to identify per person usage,The Past 2-3 years or even more utility rates per unit to identify the trend of inflation.Based on the data to be considered above the utility usage can be calculated using the following :
projected per unit rate of each utilitytotal number of people who will be consuming utilities in each monthThe projected future expenses for each utility can be gotten by combining the aboveBased on the data set given one cannot determine the next year's expenses for utilities and this is because the data set does not provide the information regarding the number of people that have consumed the utilities in the past and the per unit rate of consumption as well.
On January 1, Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments had a zero balance. On December 31, the cost of the available-for-sale securities was $252,000, and the fair value was $258,890. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale investments on December 31. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer:
Dr Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments $6890
Cr unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments $6890
Explanation:
The unrealized gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities is the difference between its cost of $252,000 and the fair value of $258,890 on 31st December.
Gain/(loss)=$258,890-$252,000=$6890 unrealized gain
The amount would be credited to unrealized gain/(loss) on AFS investments while Valuation Allowance for Available-for-Sale Investments would be debited with the same amount
The purpose of a PERT network is: to monitor the quality of a product for compliance with ISO 9000 standards. to monitor the progress of a multi-step project during its development. to connect all firms that are ISO 9000 certified so that they can partner with each other on future projects. to be used as a decision-making tool when evaluating the best facility locations and layouts.
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: to monitor the progress of a multi-step project during its development.
Explanation:
To begin with, a "Program Evaluation and Reviews Techniques" or PERT as it name indicates it refers to an stadistic technique by which the companies can follow the process of certain projects that they are having currently. Moreover, its main purpose is to manage and analyze the steps that a project has in order to make them less susceptible to errors. In addition to that, its main factor to observe is the time during the steps of the project. Nowadays is very common to use a tool like this in major companies.
What is a project, and what are its main attributes? How is a project different from what most people do in their day-to-day jobs? Discuss the importance of top management commitment and the development of standards for successful project management. Provide examples to illustrate the import
Answer:
In simple words, The project is a collective organization that is structured to accomplish a common goal. The best characteristics of the project are scale, purpose, money, staff, costs, deadlines.
Projects vary from daily operations-to-day activities in the way of ultimate goal, time frame, budget , resources, squad and concentrate. Day-to-day activities follow formed safety procedures and also have particular long-term objectives, while projects have particular short-term objectives, tight income, money and energy. Projects have been carried over by a particular team formed for a specific project.
The importance of senior managers in the project is of vital importance as they work as the guiding and monitoring authority for all the parties involved in the project. Due to this factor majority organisations gives the top mangers some monetary shares in relation to success of the project.
Sally makes deposits into a retirement account every year from the age of 30 until she retires at age 65. a) If Sally deposits $ 1100$1100 per year and the account earns interest at a rate of 9 %9% per year, compounded annually, how much does she have in the account when she retires? b) How much of that total amount is from Sally's deposits? How much is interest?
Answer:
a)
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $38,500
Interest Amount = $198,781.83
Explanation:
A fix periodic payments for the specific period of time is the annuity payment. Deposit of $1,100 per year in retirement account is annuity payment.
a)
We can calculate the balance of account on retirement by using following formula
Future Value of Annuity = P x ( 1 + r )^n - 1 / r
Where
P = Periodic payments = $1,100
r = 9%
n = 65 years - 30 years = 35 years
Placing values in the formula
Balance of account at retirement = $1,100 X ( 1 + 9% )^35 - 1 / 9%
Balance of account at retirement = $237,281.83
b)
Total Deposited amount = $1,100 x 35 = $38,500
Interest Amount = Balance of account at retirement - Total Deposited amount = $237,281.83 - $38,500 = $198,781.83
The price of coffe beans use to make coffee has decreased. At the same time, the price of cream (a compliment good) has increased. Given these two effects, what will happen to the current equilibrium quantity and price of coffee?
A. Equilibrium quantity will increase, equilibrium price will increase.
B. Equilibrium price will increase; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
C. Equilibrium quantity will decrease; the effect on price is ambiguous.
D. Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
Equilibrium price will decrease; the effect on quantity is ambiguous. (D)
Explanation:
First, note that if the price of coffee beans, used in the manufacture of coffee decreases, the price of coffee sold to consumers will decrease, because it takes a lesser amount in manufacturing than it used to, therefore this reduction in manufacturing costs is reflected in the selling price.
Next, it is hard to tell whether this reduction in equilibrium price will affect quantity demanded, because, at the same time, the price of cream ( a complementary good) increases, and since both goods are complementary, they are bought together, and the effect of the reduction in the price of coffee might not necessarily caused an increase in the quantity demanded because this effect is cancelled out by the increase in the price of cream, hence the effect on quantity is ambiguous.

Denominator hours for May 15,000 Actual hours worked during May 14,000 Standard hours allowed for May 12,000 Flexible budget fixed overhead cost $45,000 Actual fixed overhead costs for May $48,000 Danske Company had total underapplied overhead of $15,000. Additional information is as follows: Variable Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $42,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 38,000 Fixed Overhead: Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed $30,000 Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours 27,000 What is the actual total overhead for the period?
Answer:
$87,000
Explanation:
As per given data
Actual hours = 15,000 hours
Standard hours = 14,000 hours
Standard hours allowed = 12,000 hours
Flexible budget fixed overhead cost = $45,000
Actual fixed overhead costs = $48,000
Underapplied overhead = $15,000
Variable Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $42,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 38,000 hours
Fixed Overhead:
Applied based on standard direct labor hours allowed = $30,000
Budgeted based on standard direct labor hours = 27,000 hours
Total Overhead is the sum of all the variable and fixed overheads applied to the products and under / over applied overheads.
Applied overheads are the amount of overheads applied using actual activity and standard rate.
Actual Overheads = Applied variable overheads + Applied fixed overheads + under applied overheads
Placing values in the formula
Actual Overheads = $42,000 + $30,000 + $15,000
Actual Overheads = $87,000
Which of the following situations would preclude an accountant from issuing a review report on a company's financial statements in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARS)?
a. Finished-goods inventory does not include any overhead amounts.
b. The accountant was engaged to review only the balance sheet.
c. The owner of a company is the accountant's father.
d. Land has been recorded at appraisal value instead of historical cost.
Answer:
c. The owner of a company is the accountant's father.
Explanation:
Standard for Accounting and Review services (SSARS) is used for an entity that is not required to file financial statements with a regulatory body for sale of its securities in the public market.
It is concerned with unaudited financial statements and other unaudited information.
According to the SSARS when the accountant is exposed to bias by being related or having vested interest in the company he is precluded from issuing a review report on the companie's financial statements.
You work for a company that ends their fiscal year on September 30th. The company billed its customers for services provided in August, but they have not yet received payment for these services. Assuming the company uses accrual accounting, how should this transaction be recorded
Answer:
Debit Accounts receivable
Credit Service Revenue
Being entries for services rendered to customers in August
Explanation:
Under accrual accounting, revenue is recognized once it is earned which is when the goods or services have been delivered to the customers such that the risk and reward or control of the goods/services now lies with the customer.
This is different from the cash basis of accounting where revenue is only recognized when cash has been received.
In accrual accounting, When revenue is earned but cash is yet to be received,
Debit Accounts receivable
Credit Revenue account
On receipt of cash,
Debit Cash account
Credit Accounts receivable.

W.T. Ginsburg Engine Company manufactures part ACT30107 used in several of its engine models. Monthly production costs for 1,090 units are as follows: Direct materials $46,000 Direct labor 10,500 Variable overhead costs 32,500 Fixed overhead costs 22,000 Total costs $111,000 It is estimated that 6% of the fixed overhead costs assigned to ACT30107 will no longer be incurred if the company purchases ACT30107 from the outside supplier. W.T Ginsburg Engine Company has the option of purchasing the part from an outside supplier at $94.75 per unit. If the company accepts the offer from the outside supplier, the monthly avoidable costs (costs that will no longer be incurred) total ________.
Answer:
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
Explanation:
$
The relevant variable cost
= 46,000 + 10,500 + 32,500 $89,000
Cost of external supply
= 94.75 × 1090= $103,277.50
Increase in of purchase 14,277.50
Savings in fixed cost (6%× 22,000) ( 1320
Net increase in cost if purchased 12,957.50
Cost that will no longer be incurred = 89,000 +1320 = $90320
Cost that will no longer be incurred = $90320
For each of the following cases determine the ending balance in the inventory account. (Hint: First, determine the total cost of inventory available for sale. Next, subtract the cost of the inventory sold to arrive at the ending balance.) a. Jill’s Dress Shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $40,000. During the accounting period, Jill’s purchased $75,000 of inventory, returned $5,000 of inventory, and obtained $750 of purchases discounts. Jill’s incurred $1,000 of transportation-in cost and $600 of transportation-out cost. Salaries of sales personnel amounted to $31,000. Administrative expenses amounted to $35,600. Cost of goods sold amounted to $82,300. b. Ken’s Bait Shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $8,000. During the accounting period, Ken’s purchased $36,900 of inventory, obtained $1,200 of purchases allowances, and received $360 of purchases discounts. Sales discounts amounted to $640. Ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. Selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. Cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.
Answer:
Jill's Dress Shop:
Ending Inventory 27,950
Ken's Bait Shop:
Ending Inventory 10,340
Explanation:
Jill's Dress Shop:
Beginning 40,000
Purchases 75,000
Returned (5,000)
Discounts (750)
Freight-In 1,000
Cost of Goods Sold (82,300)
Ending Inventory 27,950
Ken's Bait Shop
Beginning 8,000
Purchases 36,900
Allowances (1,200)
Discounts (360)
Freight-In 900
Cost of Goods Sold (33,900)
Ending Inventory 10,340
The freight-out and sales discount have an impact in net sales and selling expenses they do not constitute part of the inventory as are relatedto the sale of the goods rather than acquisition.
Answer:
Determination of Ending Inventory:a) Beginning Inventory = $40,000
Purchases = $75,000
Purchases Return = ($5,000)
Purchases Discounts = ($750)
Freight-in = $1,000
Cost of Goods Available$110,250
less cost of goods sold ($82,300)
Ending Inventory $27,950
b) Beginning Inventory = $8,000
Purchases = $36,900
Purchases Return = ($1,200)
Purchases Discounts = ($360)
Freight-in = $900
Cost of Goods Available $44,240
less cost of goods sold ($33,900)
Ending Inventory $10,340
Explanation:
a) Ending inventory represents the value of goods available for sale and held by a company at the end of an accounting period. It is calculated as follows: Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold (or COGS) = Ending Inventory. The value of goods available for sale at the end of the accounting period is important in reporting the financial status of any trading or producing company.
b) The cost of goods available for sale includes the beginning inventory, the net purchases of inventory, and the freight-in during the period.
Other things the same, an increase in the U.S. interest rate causes U.S. net capital outflow to a. rise, so supply in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts right. b. rise, so demand in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts right. c. fall, so supply in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts left.
Answer:
b. rise, so demand in the market for foreign-currency exchange shifts right.
Explanation:
An increase in the interest rates leads to a rise in the capital outflow as savings and investment lead to more net capital outflow. This is the movement of the assets on the company and is considered to be bad for the economy and leads to undesirable changes in the supply of the foreign currency as a shift in the demands of the consumers. This may result in political and economic instability.Balance sheet The balance sheet provides a snapshot of the financial condition of a company.

Statement #1: Cold Goose’s pool of relatively liquid assets, which are available to support the company’s current and future sales, decreased from Year 1 to Year 2.
This statement is FALSE, because: Cold Goose’s total current asset balance increased from $11,250 million to $14,062 million between Year 1 and Year 2
Statement #2: Over the past two years, Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. has relied more on the use of short-term debt than on long-term debt financing.
This statement is FALSE, because: Cold Goose’s total current liabilities increased by $391 million, while its use of long-term debt increased by $1,171 million
Statement #3: One way to interpret the change in Cold Goose’s accounts receivable balance from Year 1 to Year 2 is that more customers purchased new items on credit rather than paying off existing credit accounts.
This statement is TRUE, because:The $421 increase in accounts receivable means either that Year 1’s existing credit customers are not paying off their owed balances and new or existing customers are making additional purchases on credit, or that Year 1’s credit customers have repaid their owed balances and Year 2 credit sales have exceeded Year 1’s credit sales
Based on your understanding of the different items reported on the balance sheet and the information they provide, if everything else remains the same, then the cash and equivalents item on the current balance sheet is likely to DECREASE if the firm buys a new plant and equipment at a cost of $1 million with liquid capital.
Casper and Cecile divorced in 2018. As part of the divorce settlement, Casper transferred stock to Cecile. Casper purchased the stock for $25,000, and it had a market value of $43,000 on the date of the transfer. Cecile sold the stock for $40,000 a month after receiving it. In addition, Casper is required to pay Cecile $1,500 a month in alimony. He made five payments to her during the year.What are the tax consequences for Casper and Cecile regarding these transactions?
Answer:
According to IRS, the party making the payments is entitled to cancel the alimony & separate maintenance fees in a divorce situation while the party accepting the payment is obliged to include the amounts received in their gross revenue. Any transfer of property in respect of a divorce other than cash, however, is not taxable.The party receiving the property also does not recognize income and include the item on cost basis equal to basis of the party making transfer.

Although the "Great Recession" that began in late 2007 ended officially in the summer of 2009, the U.S. economy had staged only a modest recovery as we moved through the middle of 2015. Some economists have pointed out that this is typical of a _____________ recession.
Answer: balance sheet
Explanation: The modest recovery of the U.S. economy after the Great Recession has been described by economists as typical of a balance sheet recession which is characterized by great savings, reduction in debts by individuals or companies collectively, as opposed to spending or investing which serve as stimulants for economies. This is usually attributed to high levels of private sector debts and as a result, there is general economic decline or slow growth.

At the beginning of the year, Bryers Incorporated reports inventory of $7,700. During the year, the company purchases additional inventory for $22,700. At the end of the year, the cost of inventory remaining is $9,700. Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer: $20,700
Explanation:
beginning inventory (X) = $7,700
purchased additional inventory (Y) = $22,700
ending inventory (Z) = $9,700
So first, we have to calculate Cost of goods available for sale (A), we add beginning inventory (X) and purchased additional inventory (Y)
A = X + Y
A = 7,700 + 22,700
Cost of goods available for sale (A) = 30,400
NOW to get our Cost of goods sold for the year (B), we subtract ending inventory (Z) from cost of goods available for sale (A)
B = A - Z
B = 30,400 - 9,700
B = 20,700
therefore the cost of goods sold for the year is $20,700
You are in charge of a project that has a degree of operating leverage of 1.24. What will happen to the operating cash flows if the number of units you sell increase by 3.8 percent? Group of answer choices 4.71 percent increase 4.71 percent decrease 3.06 percent increase 3.06 percent decrease
Answer:
4.71 percent increase
Explanation:
The increase in the number of units sold is 3.8%
Degree of operating leverage is 1.24
Therefore, the operating cash flow can be calculated as follows:
Increase in the number of units×degree of operating leverage
= 3.8/100×1.24
= 0.038×1.24
= 0.0471×100
= 4.71%
Hence there is a 4.71 percent increase in the operating cash flow
Which of the following statements regarding changes in accounting principles is not true? Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported. Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Answer:
Most changes in accounting principles are only reported in current periods when the principle change takes place.
Explanation:
Accounting principle can be defined as a general guideline to be followed by accountants or financial institutions when they record and report their financial transactions.
A change in an accounting principle involves a change in an accounting method used.
For instance, an accountant switching between First In, First Out (FIFO) to Last In, First Out (LIFO) method of inventory valuation or by using another depreciation method.
Additionally, an accounting principle should only be changed, if it's applicable to the accounting framework being used such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Also, it is important to state in the footnotes of the financial statements a full disclosure to highlight the justification for the preferred change and financial implications of this change.
The following are true about the change in accounting principles;
1. Most changes in accounting principles are retroactively reported.
2. Changes in accounting principles are allowed when new principles are preferable to old ones.
3. Consistency is one of the biggest concerns when a change in accounting principle is undertaken.
Firm B, a calendar year, cash basis taxpayer, leases lawn and garden equipment. During December, it received the following cash payments. To what extent does each payment represent current taxable income to Firm B?
a. $522 repayment of a loan from an employee. Firm B loaned $500 to the employee six months ago, and the employee repaid the loan with interest.
b. $600 deposit from a customer who rented mechanical equipment. Firm B must return the entire deposit when the customer returns the undamaged equipment.
c. $10,000 short-term loan from a local bank. Firm B gave the bank a written note to repay the loan in one year at 9 percent interest.
d. $888 prepaid rent from the customer described in part b. The rent is $12 per day for the 74-day period from December 17 through February 28.
Answer:
a. $522 repayment of a loan from an employee. Firm B loaned $500 to the employee six months ago, and the employee repaid the loan with interest.
Firm B should recognize $22 as interest income.b. $600 deposit from a customer who rented mechanical equipment. Firm B must return the entire deposit when the customer returns the undamaged equipment.
The deposit cannot be recognized as income since it is a liability.c. $10,000 short-term loan from a local bank. Firm B gave the bank a written note to repay the loan in one year at 9 percent interest.
Interests ($900) will be recognized when they are actually paid for in 1 year. No accrued interests must be reported on the balance sheet (December 31).d. $888 prepaid rent from the customer described in part b. The rent is $12 per day for the 74-day period from December 17 through February 28.
The $888 will be recognized as revenue during the current year.Explanation:
When a taxpayer is a cash basis taxpayer, it will only report income and expenses that are actually collected or paid for respectively. All accounts receivable or accounts payable are not considered revenues nor expenses.
Deere is a global manufacturer and distributor of agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. Suppose it reported the following information in its 2017 annual report. (In millions)
2017 2016 Inventories (LIFO) $2,267 $2,999
Current asset 32,910
Current liabilities 11,711
LIFO reserve 1,389
Cost of goods sold 15,661
Compute Deere inventory turnover for 2017 ratio.
Answer:
5.95
Explanation:
Deere inventory turnover for 2017 ratio is:
Formula for Inventory Turnover Ratio= Cost of Goods sold / Average Inventory
Where Average Inventory = (Previous Inventory + Current Inventory) / 2
= ($2,267 + $2,999) / 2
=$5,266 / 2
=$2,633
Average Inventory = $2,633
Therefore, Inventory Turnover Ratio = $15,661 / $2,633 = 5.9479 = 5.95
Deere Inventory Turnover for 2017 Ratio is 5.95.
At January 1, 2019, Betty DeRose, Inc. had an allowance for bad debts with a $4,500 credit balance. During 2019, Betty wrote-off as uncollectible accounts receivable in the amount of $6,200. At December 31, 2019, Betty had total accounts receivable of $216,000 and prepared the following aging schedule: Accounts Receivable % Uncollectible not past due $100,000 1% 1-30 days past due 60,000 4% 31-60 days past due 27,000 8% 61-90 days past due 19,000 26% over 90 days past due 10,000 40% total accounts receivable $216,000 Calculate the net realizable value of Betty DeRose's accounts receivable at December 31, 2019.
Answer:
$16,200
Explanation:
The bad debt expense has beginning balance of $4,500. Bad debt written of during 2019 is $6,200. The total account receivable is $216,000.
$100,000 * 1% = $1000
$60,000 * 4% =$2400
$27,000 * 8% =$2160
$19,000 * 26% =$4940
$10,000 * 40% =$4000
The total of uncollected is $14,500
The bad debt of the current year is $4500 - $6200 = $1700
Go to the internet and find a news article published within the last month that discusses changes in demand and supply of particular goods/services, summarize key points and post in the Discussions area. Refer to week 2 content materials and use specific economic vocabulary within your summary, i.e. demand, quantity demanded, determinants of demand, shifts in demand curve, etc. Likewise with supply. Also you should discuss changes in equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price.
Answer: The explanation is provided below
Explanation:
Below article is the summary of the acceleration of inflation in the emerging markets that was published in 2018.
According to the article, inflation in an economy is caused by an adverse supply shock or as a result of the expansionary fiscal policy or the expansionary monetary policy.
In an adverse supply shock, total quantity of basic goods will reduce drastically causing the aggregate demand to rise exponentially and therefore, push prices higher and then gradually lead to inflation.
Also, the continous and eventual implementation of the expansionary fiscal or monetary policy through continous tax cuts or by increasing government spending or reducting interest rates, lead into significant increase in the aggregate demand and as a result, prices rise eventually resulting in hyperinflation in the economy. This will also lead to increase in the real GDP of the economy.
Different tools in the monetary policy framework can be used to control inflation such as government securities,
the cash reserve ratio, interest rates. To reduce recession, government utilize automatic stabilizer in order to boost the economy.
Thomlin Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $11,597,000 with 164,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $7,833,000 and the actual machine hours are 83,000 hours. The predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours is Round the factory overhead rate to the nearest dollar before multiplying by the number of hours. a.$94 per machine hour b.$48 per machine hour c.$71 per machine hour d.$140 per machine hour
Answer: c.$71 per machine hour
Explanation:
The Pre-determined Overhead rate is the rate Thomlin Company forecasted that the company would incur total overhead for the current year.
They forecasted total overhead of $11,597,000 with 164,000 total machine hours.
Since the rate is based on Machine Hours the rate would be,
= Total Forecasted Overhead / Total Forecasted Machine Hours
= 11,597,000 / 164,000
= 70.71
= $71
