Journal Entries

1) Debit Salary Expense $6,667 Credit Bank $6,667

2) Debit Fuel and Maintenance Expense $600, Credit Bank $600

3) Debit Depreciation Expense $amount Credit Accumulated Depreciation $amount

4) Debit Insurance Expense $amount Credit Bank $amount

5) Debit Benefit Expense $amount Credit Accrued Benefit Expense $amount

6) Debit Accounts Receivable (total of all trips) $amount Credit Service Revenue $amount

Explanation:

The prompt is not complete, but I will create typical journal entries for the transactions without numerical figures.

1) The salary represents one month, and the in brackets is a $80,000*1/12 calculation showing that the $80,000 is annual; should this have been already recorded, we would debit salaries payable $6,667 and credit bank $6,667

4) Insurance expense is debited if paid as incurred, but if there's a Prepaid Insurance account, we credit the Prepaid Insurance account instead of Bank.

Question not complete

Direct Labour Cost is missing

Direct Labor Cost ----- $50,000.00 $270,000.00

Answer:

a.

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $12.2 per labour hour

b. Total Manufacturing Cost = $644

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. To determine the predetermined overhead rate appropriate for each department.

Given

Cutting Department

The Cutting Department calculates its rate based on machine-hours

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $264,000

Machine Hours = 48,000

Finishing Department

For the Finishing Department, the rate is calculated based on direct labor-hours.

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $366,000

Direct Labour Cost = $270,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $264,000/48,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $366,000/$270,000

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 1.36

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 136% direct labour cost

b.

The Cutting Department's rate is based on machine-hours

Given

Machine hours = 80 machine hours

Overhead Rate = $5.5 per machine hours ------ This was calculated

The Finishing Department's calculations rely on direct labor-hours.

Given

Direct Labour Cost = 150

Overhead Rate = 136% of labor cost ------ This was deduced

Overhead Applied (Cutting Department) = 80 * 5.5

Overhead Applied = 440

Overhead Applied (Finishing Department) = 136% * 150

Overhead Applied = $204

Total Overhead Applied = $440 + $204

Total = $644

c. Yes

If the business utilizes a company-wide overhead rate linked to direct labor cost and if jobs have increased machine hours paired with lower labor costs, they would incur less overhead expenses.

Answer:

Theory X management style

 

Explanation:

Theory X management revolves around the assumptions about the typical laborer. This management theory posits that the average employee is unmotivated, irresponsible, and driven solely for specific rewards. Overall, managers adopting the Theory X approach believe their employees are less intelligent, inferior, and work primarily for secure paychecks.

In this management approach, supervisors maintain tight control over their workers; therefore, this style is appropriate when a company is experiencing significant challenges, where additional issues may result in catastrophic failure.

Answer B is correct. Seasonal. Explanation: Seasonal unemployment arises at certain periods of the year when demand for services or goods decreases compared to other times. This scenario frequently occurs in tourist regions, like the one described in the provided question, where job demand spikes during peak tourist seasons. Ideally, workers facing seasonal unemployment should seek economic adjustments in low-demand months and diversify their activities to ensure continued income. Government intervention through public employment policies is also critical to mitigate this issue.
