Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine-hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $283,725 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 126,100 hours. For the year, $303,850 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,200 hours are used.
Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e. g. 1.52.)

$2.25 per hour

Explanation:

Given that,

Total estimated overhead costs = $283,725

Estimated machine usage = 126,100 hours

Overhead costs are incurred = $303,850

Hours used = 130,200

Manufacturing overhead rate:

= Total estimated overhead costs ÷ Estimated machine usage

= $283,725 ÷ 126,100 hours

= $2.25 per hour

Therefore, the manufacturing overhead rate for the year is $2.25 per hour.

the third answer is correct.

of the three mortgage options that demarco and tanya have to choose from, the balloon payment mortgage would be their best option, over adjustable payment and fixed payment plans.ultimately, the balloon payment plan would save demarco and tanya overall, in interest, would cost less monthly, and they would only have to make these payments for 8 years, opposing to 30 years for adjustable or fixed payment plans. 

overall, demarco and tanya would save $80,811 if they chose balloon payments over fixed payments, and would save $116,711 if they choose balloon payments over adjustable payments. benefits with choosing fixed payments over adjustable payments is that, in the end, the payments will still be $836.30 a month, while with adjustable payments, the initial monthly payments will be $763.38 to $1082.70 a month, ultimately leading to a more costly purchase. benefits with choosing fixed payments over balloon payments are not present. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over is that it has a lower interest rate, and starts with lower monthly payments initially. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over balloon payments include a lower interest rate, and lower initial monthly payments. benefits in choosing balloon payments over fixed payments include lower interest rates, lower overall price, lower monthly payments, takes less time to pay off, and does not require a downpayment. benefits in choosing balloon payments over adjustable payments include, lower monthly payments (when averaged), takes less time to pay off, and lower overall price.

hence, option c, balloon payments, is the best option for demarco and tanya to make this purchase, for it will save them a minimum of $80811, and a maximum of $116,711.
