In the previous question about the book sliding across the table, what is the acceleration of the book? It is a 275 g book initially pushed to the right across a table with an initial speed of 1.3 m/s. A 0.37 N friction force acts on the book, slowing it down.  Show your work or explain your reasoning.

A company uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 22,100 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $570,180. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 22,050 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $569,000. The balance in the manufacturing overhead account at the end of the year was: (Do not round intermediate calculations)

Describe the trichromatic theory of color vision and explain (don’t just state the weakness, explain why it is a weakness for this theory!!!) the major weakness of this theory.

A company manufactures two products: Product K8R and Product XX20. The company uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. It is considering implementing an activity-based costing (ABC) system that allocates its manufacturing overhead to four cost pools. The following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for Products K8R and XX20. The overhead costs have been attributed to four activity cost pools and the activity measures and activity have been determined as shown below.  Activity Cost PoolActivity MeasureTotal CostTotal ActivityMachiningMachine-hours$ 247,00013,000 Machine-hoursMachine setupsNumber of setups$ 60,000150 setupsProduct designNumber of products$ 56,0002 productsOrder sizeDirect labor-hours$ 260,00010,000 Direct labor-hoursActivity MeasureProduct K8RProduct XX20Machine-hours10,0003,000Number of setups11040Number of products11Direct labor-hours6,0004,000For the first question, show your work and label the first answer – PLANTWIDE OVERHEAD1. Using the plantwide overhead rate, how much manufacturing overhead cost would be allocated to Product XX20?For the second question, show your work and label the first answer – ABC OVERHEAD2. If the ABC system is implemented, how much manufacturing overhead cost would be allocated to Product XX20?

Use the high-low method to estimate the variable and fixed components of this cost. Compute the variable component first. Then compute the fixed component, rounding off to the nearest whole dollar. Those estimates are closest to:Note: Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.
