Answer:

Instructions are provided below.

Explanation:

To start, we must determine the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead expenses for the period/ total allocation base amount

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (680,000/80,000) + 0.5

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 for each direct labor hour

Next, let’s find the total cost for Xavier:

Direct Material $38,000

Direct Labor Cost $21,000

Direct Labor hours worked 280

Total cost= direct materials + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 38,000 + 21,000 + 280*9

Total cost= $61,520

The price of coffee beans decreases while their quantity increases. The exceptionally favorable weather leads to a greater harvest of coffee beans, thus expanding the supply curve to the right. This results in a lower price for coffee beans, which consequently boosts the quantity sold. Additionally, a decrease in coffee bean prices results in an increased supply of coffee cups, which in turn reduces their price while elevating the quantity of coffee cups sold. Given that coffee cups and donuts are complementary products, the decreased coffee bean prices stimulate a rise in demand for donuts, elevating both the price and quantity of donuts sold.

Answer:

a) Kate will yield 100 tomatoes and no heads of lettuce.

b) Jim will yield 0 tomatoes and 180 heads of lettuce.

Explanation:

Due to better climatic conditions for growing tomatoes at Kate's plot, she should prioritize those for superior quality. Additionally, her lettuce yield per square foot is lower than Jim's (3 heads compared to his 6). This means Kate could cultivate 60 heads and Jim could produce 120 heads of lettuce on 20 square feet (double). Thus, she should skip lettuce cultivation due to both quality and quantity considerations.

The same reasoning applies to Jim's tomato production. If he grows tomatoes, he’ll only manage 60 at a 20-square-foot plot, in contrast to Kate's 100. Therefore, he should refrain from growing tomatoes.
