Answer:
a. Labor Cost Rate= 13 $ per DLH
b. Purchase orders Rate= $ 3 per order
c. Product testing Rate = $ 15 per test
d. Template etching Rate = $ 23 per template
e. General factory Rate= $ 6 per MHs
Explanation:
Data
Activity Activity Expected Overhead Expected
Cost Pool Measure Cost Activity
Labor-related Direct labor-hours $16,380 1,260 DLHs
Purchase orders Number of orders $1,920 640 orders
Product testing Number of tests $4,275 285 tests
Template etching Number of templates $805 35 templates
General factory Machine-hours $42,600 7,100 MHs
The activity rate can be obtained by dividing the total cost of each activity with the total cost of the driver allocated to it.
Calculations
Activity Rate = Expected Overhead Cost/ Expected Activity
a. Labor Cost Rate= $16,380 / 1,260 DLHs= 13 $ per DLH
b. Purchase orders Rate= $1,920/ 640 orders= $ 3 per order
c. Product testing Rate = $4,275 /285 tests= $ 15 per test
d. Template etching Rate = $805 /35 templates= $ 23 per template
e. General factory Rate= $42,600/ 7,100 MHs= $ 6 per MHs
(C) mutual trust is based on an ongoing process of give and take.
Answer:
(A) an ongoing process of give and take is based on mutual trust.
Explanation:
Tragedy of the commons is a situation where individuals in a shared resource system act independently in their own self-interest. They behave in opposition to the common good and deplete shared resources.
In shared resource system there needs to be a collaborative approach between the parties to make sure resources are not exploited.
There needs to be an ongoing process of give and take based on mutual trust to sustain the system.
The concept of the tragedy of the commons has been used in sustainable development, economics, sociology, politics, taxation, and global warming.
Answer:
UCLp = 0.157
LCLp = 0
Day:
11 - yes
12 - yes
13 - yes
Explanation:
The upper and lower 3-sigma control chart limits are
UCLp = 0.157
LCLp = 0
Given the limits, is the process in control for the following days?
Day:
11 - yes
12 - yes
13 - yes
The 3-sigma control chart utilizes mean and standard deviation to set the upper and lower limits. The upper limit in this scenario is 19 while the lower limit is 1, consequently, 99.7% of the defects would fall within this range.
The question involves understanding the 3-sigma control chart and setting appropriate limits. The upper control limit (UCL) and lower control limit (LCL) are boundaries in the control chart that you set, based on the standard deviations of the population. Anything beyond these boundaries may be deemed out of the control. Defectives are considered as elements that do not meet specific requirements, and the proportion is calculated based on the total number of observations.
The calculation of UCL and LCL involves determining the mean (µ) and standard deviation (ơ) of the dataset, then calculating upper and lower limits based on the z-score, which is typically ±3 for a 3-sigma control chart. For example, if µ = 10 and ơ = 3, we use the formula x = µ + zơ to get UCL (x₁ = 10 + 3(3) = 19) and the formula x = µ - zơ to get LCL (x₂ = 10 - 3(3) = 1). This means 99.7% of the defects would fall between 1 and 19.

Answer:
Options A, B, C, and E.
(Please check the explanation section before you judge or pick your answer)
Explanation:
The options A, B, C, and E are the options that are considered complex if we want to Craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets.
Please take note that if the question asked us to pick which of the options is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets then we would have picked Option D.
As given in the question, that is option D which says; '' buyer tastes and preferences creates challenges in standardizing products and services." Will not be a reason for crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets is inherently complex.
Countries due to globalization tends to participate in international trades. Competition in the international trade has its advantages as well as its disadvantages or risks.
To trade in the international market, countries must have their individual strategies and Option D above is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets
Business strategies for foreign markets are complex due to differences in governmental policies, economic conditions, buyer tastes and preferences, and currency exchange rates. Hence the correct option is (C).
Crafting a business strategy to compete in foreign markets is indeed a complex task. This complexity arises due to variations in governmental policies and economic conditions, the different buyer tastes and preferences that need to be considered, and the fluctuating currency exchange rates across nations.
For instance, governmental policies and economic conditions may influence a country's business environment. A business-friendly government policy, stable political conditions, healthy economic indicators are desirable for the smooth functioning and growth of businesses.
Also, the tastes and preferences of buyers differ greatly from one country to another, hence making it a must for businesses to understand the local culture, traditions, and buying habits and design products/services accordingly.
In addition, Currency exchange rates can be highly volatile, adding another layer of complexity to planning and executing a business strategy for international markets.

Answer:
41 months
Explanation:
For computing the time period we have to use the NPER formula i.e shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $0
Future value = $1,400
Rate of interest = 16.80% ÷ 12 months = 1.4%
PMT = $45
The formula is shown below:
= NPER(Rate;PMT;PV;-FV;type)
The future value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the time period is 41 months
direct material, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead
direct material, direct labor, and fixed manufacturing overhead
direct material, direct labor, and all variable manufacturing overhead
Answer: direct material, direct labor, and fixed manufacturing overhead
Explanation: In calculating product cost in a manufacturing environment, there are two types of costing namely the variable costing method and absorption costing method.
Under absorption costing, a unit of product includes direct materials, direct labour, variable overheads and all fixed manufacturing overhead.
under this method, all variable cost as well as fixed cost are all included in the cost of a product.
Absorption costing is required by GAAP and so has to be using in preparing the financial accounts.
Under absorption costing, a unit of product includes all production costs, namely direct material, direct labor, and both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead.
Under absorption costing, a unit of product includes all costs that are involved in the manufacturing process. These costs include direct material, direct labor, and both variable and fixed manufacturing overhead. To elaborate, direct materials are the raw materials used in producing the product, direct labor is the hands-on labor involved in production, and manufacturing overhead consists of indirect costs associated with production such as factory rent, utilities and production manager salaries. Both variable and fixed overhead costs should be included, with the former changing with the level of production and the latter remaining constant regardless of the production volume.

Answer:
-$3
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost of raffle ticket = $5
Number of tickets sold = 2000
Probability of winning = 1 ÷ 2000 = 0.0005
Winning prize = $4,000
Now,
The expected value of prize = Probability of winning × Winning prize
= 0.0005 × $4,000
= $2
Therefore,
The expected value for this raffle
= expected value prize - Cost of raffle ticket
= $2 - $5
= -$3
