Digger Inc. sells a high-speed retrieval system for mining information. It provides the following information for the year. Budgeted Actual
Overhead cost $975,000 $950,000
Machine hours 50,000 45,000
Direct labor hours 100,000 92,000

Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
b. Determine the amount of overhead applied for the year.

 Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours

 Overhead applied = $897,000

Explanation:

Given:

Budgeted Overhead cost = $975,000

Actual Overhead cost = $950,000

Budgeted Machine hours = 50,000

Actual Machine hours = 45,000

Budgeted Direct labor hours = 100,000

Actual Direct labor hours = 92,000

Computation:

(a) Predetermined overhead rate.

Predetermined overhead rate = budgeted overhead cost / budgeted direct labor hours

 Predetermined overhead rate = $975,000 / 100,000

 Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours

(b) Amount of overhead applied for the year.

Overhead applied = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate

Overhead applied   = 92000 × $9.75

 Overhead applied = $897,000

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.

there's 11 people for the 1st position. then, no matter who gets it, there's only 10 left for the second, and then 9 left for the third. 11 x 10 x 9 = 990.   the answer is there are 990 different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants
