question 125

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The index of refraction for air, Ia, is 1.0003. The index of refraction for water, Iw, is 1.3. If $\frac { \mathrm { I } _ { \mathrm { W } } } { \mathrm { I } _ { \mathrm { a } } } = \frac { \sin \mathrm { A } } { \sin \mathrm { W } }$ , and $\mathrm { A } = 31.5 ^ { \circ }$ , find $\mathrm { W }$ to the nearest tenth.

• A) \(22.7 ^ { \circ }\)
• B) \(23.7 ^ { \circ }\)
• C) \(21.7 ^ { \circ }\)
• D) \(20.7 ^ { \circ }\)

Direct Labor-Hours

A measure of the total hours worked by employees who are directly involved in the manufacturing process or production of goods.

Predetermined Overhead Rate

A rate used to apply manufacturing overhead to products or job orders, calculated before the period begins by dividing estimated overhead costs by an estimated allocation base.

Machine-Hours

A measurement of the amount of time machines are operated in the production process, used as an allocation base for applying manufacturing overhead.
