Moody corporation uses a job-order costing system with a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. at the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: machine-hours required to support estimated production 157,000 fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 653,000 variable manufacturing overhead cost per machine-hour $ 4.90 required: 1. compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate. 2. during the year, job 400 was started and completed. the following information was available with respect to this job: direct materials $ 360 direct labor cost $ 300 machine-hours used 31 compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to job 400. 3. if job 400 includes 60 units, what is the unit product cost for this job? 4. if moody uses a markup percentage of 120% of its total manufacturing cost, then what selling price per unit would it have established for job 400?

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

What are two benefits of consumer programs

True or flase? a. new technological developments can us adapt to depleting sources of natural resources. b. research and development funds from the government to private industry never pay off for the country as a whole; they only increase the profits of rich corporations. c. in order for fledgling industries in poor nations to thrive, they must receive protection from foreign trade. d. countries with few natural resources will always be poor. e. as long as real gdp (gross domestic product) grows at a slower rate than the population, per capita real gdp increases.
