McCoy Brothers manufactures and sells two products, A and Z in the ratio of 5:2. Product A sells for $75; Z sells for $95. Variable costs for product A are $35; for Z $40. Fixed costs are $418,500. Compute the contribution margin per composite unit

Question: What percentage of the variation in overhead costs is explained by the independent variable

Answer: 82.8%

Explanation:

= 0.848 (84.8%), the explanation of variation in Y from the X regress

Question: What is the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours

Answer: $410,000

Explanation:

The equation resulting from this regression analysis is:

Total overhead = Estimated fixed cost + Estimated variable cost per labor hour x Labor hours

= Intercept estimate + Coefficient estimate on independent variable x 60,000 DLH

= 110000 + 5 x 60000 DLH

= 110000 + 300000

= 410000

Here is the full question with the appropriate tables.

Cortez Company is planning to introduce a new product that will sell for $108 a unit. The following manufacturing cost estimates have been made on 20,000 units to be produced the first year;

Direct Materials                     $700,000                                                              

Direct Labor                           $720,000    (= $18 per hour × 40,000 hours)    

Manufacturing overhead costs have not yet been estimated for the new product, but monthly date on total production and overhead costs for the post 24 months have been analyzed using simple linear regression. The following results were derive from the simple regression and provide the basis for overhead cost estimates for the new product.

What is the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours?

$410,000.

$420,000.

$400,000.

$430,000.

Answer:

R² = 82.8%

$420,000

Explanation:

Given that:

R² = .828

The percentage of the variation in overhead costs explained by the independent variable in Y from the X regressor = %

= 82.8%

Given that:

direct labor-hours = 60,000

To calculate the Total overhead cost; we have:

(Total overhead) to be = Estimated fixed cost + estimated variable cost per  

                                        labor hour × labor-hours

                                      = Intercept estimate + Coefficient estimate on

                                       independent  variable × 60,000 direct labor-hours

                                      = $120,000 + ($5 × 60,000) direct labor-hours

                                      = $120,000 + $300,000

                                      = $420,000

∴  the total overhead cost for an estimated activity level of 60,000 direct labor-hours = $420,000.

Answer:

$69,660

Explanation:

For computing the contribution margin first we have to determine the contribution margin per unit which is shown below:

Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin ÷ Number of units

= $58,320 ÷ 3,600 units

= $16.2

Now if the sales unit is 4,300 so the contribution margin is

= Sales units × contribution margin per unit

= 4,300 units × $16.20

= $69,660

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

Only the $12,000 will be reported in Statement of Activities ( the financial statement used to report revenues and expenses for governmental and business-type activities) as a change in net position for business-type activities.

Why?

The Water Entreprise Fund is the only listed fund type listed that would fall under BUSINESS TYPE because it is an ENTREPRISE Fund. The Motor Pool Internal Service falls under GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES and the Pension Find is only displayed in the Fund Financial Statements.

Because the Water Entreprise Fund is the only fund here concerned with BUSINESS TYPE activities, it's rise by $12,000 is what will be reported as the Net Change.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Answer:

In a closed economy, public saving is the amount of

d. tax revenue that the government has left after paying for its spending.

Explanation:

Public saving or budget surplus in a closed economy describes the excess of government revenue (obtained through taxation of individuals and businesses in the economy) and government expenditures on goods and services. In an open economy, transfers are deducted before arriving at the public saving.  In all economies, the addition of private (individual and business) and public savings result to national investments.

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of changes in demand to change in price.

The value of elasticity shows type of good. Negative elasticity indicates that a good is inferior, and people will buy it when their income is low. But once income rises they will buy more luxurious goods. That is not the case here as elasticity is positive.

When elasticity is positive the good is a normal good and increase in income will result in increase in amount demanded of the good.

In the scenario give a positive elasticity of 0.45 should result in higher consumption among higher income people than lower income people.
