Waterway Industries is planning to sell 800 buckets and produce 1080 buckets during March. Each bucket requires 200 grams of plastic and one-half hour of direct labor. Plastic costs $10 per 200 grams and employees of the company are paid $15 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at a rate of 110% of direct labor costs. Waterway has 300 kilos of plastic in beginning inventory and wants to have 500 kilos in ending inventory. How much is the total amount of budgeted direct labor for March?

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above,

One bucket requires;

200 grams of plastic and one half of direct labor

The plastic costs $10 per 200 grams and the employees are paid $15 per hour.

Therefore, one bucket costs (material and labor) :

= $10 + $15 × (1/2)hour = $17.5 per plus 1.10 × $7.50 = $25.75

For 1,080 buckets

$25.75 × 1,080 = $27,810

Therefore, the total amount of budgeted direct material for March is $27,810

Suppose you've just inherited $10,000 from a relative. You're trying to decide whether to put the $10,000 in a non-interest-bearing account so that you can use it whenever you want (that is, hold it as money) or to use it to buy a U.S. Treasury bond.
The opportunity cost of holding the inheritance as money depends on the interest rate on the bond.
For each of the interest rates in the following table, compute the opportunity cost of holding the $10,000 as money.
Interest Rate on Government Bond (Percent) Opportunity Cost (Dollars per year)
8 _____ (10,000.00 / 800.00 / 0.08 / 8.00 / 125,000.00)
10 _____ (10,000.00 / 10.00 / 100,000.00 / 1,000.00 / 0.10)
What does the previous analysis suggest about for money?
a. The quantity of money demanded decreases as the interest rate rises.
b. The quantity of money demanded increases as the interest rate rises.
c. The supply of money is independent of interest rate.
