Trail Running Company has started to produce running apparel in addition to the trail running shoes that they have manufactured for years. They feel that a departmental overhead rate would best reflect their overall manufacturing overhead usage.

Explanation:

Machining Department Finishing Department Estimated Manufacturing Overhead by Department $800,000 $200,000

Trail Running Shoes 360,000 machine hours 6,000 direct labor hours Running Apparel 40,000 machine hours 34,000 direct labor hours

Manufacturing overhead is driven by machine hours for the machining department and direct labor hours for the finishing department.

At the end of the year, the following information was gathered related to the production of the trail running shoes and running apparel:

Machining Department Finishing Department Trail Running Shoes 362,000 hours 5,500 hours

Running Apparel 37,000 hours 35,000 hours

How much manufacturing overhead will be allocated to running apparel?

For The Overhead Absorption Rate for Machining Department

Trail Running Shoes = (360,000/360,000+40,000)* $800,000 = $720,000

Running Apparel = (40,000/360,000+40,000)* $800,000 = $80,000

For The Overhead Absorption Rate for Finishing Department

Trail Running Shoes = (6,000/6,000+34,000)* $200,000 = $30,000

Running Apparel = (34,000/6,000+34,000)* $200,000 = $170,000

Therefore the running department would have been allocated ($80,000+$170,000) which is $250,000 during the period.

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
