Answer: D) the high cost of changing partners.
Explanation: The high cost of changing partners is often a disadvantage of the "few suppliers" sourcing strategy. The few suppliers sourcing strategy is one wherein companies rely on few suppliers in order to lower transaction and production costs, to keep materials and processes tightly regulated among others. It offers some advantages, some of which includes that suppliers are more likely to understand the broad objectives of the end customer ; there is creation of value by allowing suppliers to have economies of scale and the suppliers are often willing to provide technological expertise.

A mechanical engineer purchased a machine 1 year ago for $85,000 and is now seeing that it costs more to operate than anticipated. The engineer expected to use the machine for 10 years with annual maintenance costs of $22,000 and a salvage value of $10,000. Last year though, it cost $35,000 to maintain the machine and these costs are expected to increase to $36,500 this year and increase by $1500 each year after. The market value is now estimated to be $85,000-$10,000k, where k is the number of years since the machine was purchased. It is now estimated this machine will be useful for a maximum of 5 more years. Perform a replacement study now and determine the values of P, n, AOC, and S of this defender.
Answer:
P = -$75000
n = 5 years
AOC = $35000
and S = $10000
Explanation:
Considering that the machine that is expected to last 10 will only do for 5 years and that the market value is now $85000 - $10000
we can the say,
P = -($85000 - $10000)
= - $75000
n = 5 years which is the number of years it is expected to last
AOC = $35000
S = $10000 which is the savaged value on the machine
Absorption and variable costing. (CMA) Miami, Inc., planned and actually manufactured 250,000 units of its single product in 2017, its first year of operation. Variable manufacturing cost was $19 per unit produced. Variable operating (nonmanufacturing) cost was $13 per unit sold. Planned and actual fixed manufacturing costs were $750,000. Planned and actual fixed operating (nonmanufacturing) costs totaled $420,000. Miami sold 170,000 units of product at $41 per unit.
Required:
1. Miami's 2017 operating income using absorption costing is:
(a) $ 600,000
(b) $ 360,000
(c) $ 780,000
(d) $ 1,020,000
(e) None of above

Absorption Costing
Income Statement
Sales 170,000 units * $41 $ 6970,000
Variable manufacturing cost $19 *170,000 units = 3230,000
Actual fixed manufacturing costs $750,000
Contribution Margin $ 2990,000
Variable operating (non manufacturing) cost $13 *170,000 units =2210,000
Actual fixed operating (non manufacturing) costs $420,000
Operating Income $ 360,000
The difference b/w variable and absorption costing is that in variable costing the variable expenses are treated as product costs and fixed expenses as period costs. But in absorption costing the manufacturing expenses variable and fixed are treated as product costs and selling and administrative expenses both fixed and variable are treated as period costs.

Explanation:
a) Adjusting entries are end-of-the-period journal entries used to recognize income or expenses that occurred but are not accurately displayed in your records. They are made to comply with the accrual concept and the matching principle, which demand that expenses and income should matched to the period they were incurred, whether paid for or not.
b) The three-sided ledger accounts show the debit, credit, and balance columns. This means that it shows the balance per transaction of any particular account.
c) Mortgage interest is calculated as (6% of $37,200)/12, so as to accrue for one month only. Other expenses are calculated for one month only.
Balser Corporation manufactures and sells a number of products, including a product called JYMP. Results for last year for the manufacture and sale of JYMPs are as follows: Sales $ 960,000 Less expenses: Variable production costs $ 464,000 Sales commissions 144,000 Salary of product manager 100,000 Fixed product advertising 160,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead 132,000 1,000,000 Net operating loss $ (40,000 ) Balser is trying to decide whether to discontinue the manufacture and sale of JYMPs. All expenses other than fixed manufacturing overhead are avoidable if the product is dropped. None of the fixed manufacturing overhead is avoidable. Assume that dropping Product JYMP would result in a $90,000 increase in the contribution margin of other products. If Balser chooses to discontinue JYMP, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) of eliminating this product should be:
Answer:
$2,000 disadvantage
Explanation:
The computation of the annual financial advantage or disadvantage of eliminating the product is shown below:
Sales $960,000
Less Variable production costs ($464,000)
Less Sales commission ($144,000)
Less salary of product manager ($100,000)
Less fixed product advertising ($160,000.00)
Less contribution margin from other products ($90,000)
Income from JYMP 2,000.00
This is the financial disadvantage for eliminating the product of $2,000 so the company should continue to manufactured the JYMP
And the fixed cost is not considered here as it is not relevant because it has fixed in nature does not have create any impact whether company should manufactured the product or not
Cawley Company makes three models of tasers. Information on the three products is given below.Tingler Shocker Stunner Sales $296,000 $504,000 $200,000 Variable expenses 145,000 190,000 135,000 Contribution margin 151,000 314,000 65,000 Fixed expenses 114,840 225,160 92,000 Net income $36,160 $88,840 $(27,000) Fixed expenses consist of $290,000 of common costs allocated to the three products based on relative sales, as well as direct fixed expenses unique to each model of $29,000 (Tingler), $79,000 (Shocker), and $34,000 (Stunner). The common costs will be incurred regardless of how many models are produced. The direct fixed expenses would be eliminated if that model is phased out.James Watt, an executive with the company, feels the Stunner line should be discontinued to increase the company’s net income.
(a) Compute current net income for Cawley Company. Net income $ ______
(b) Compute net income by product line and in total for Cawley Company if the company discontinues the Stunner product line. (Hint: Allocate the $290,000 common costs to the two remaining product lines based on their relative sales.)
Tingler Net Income $ _______
Shocker Net Income $ _______
Total Net Income $ _______
(c) Should Cawley eliminate the Stunner product line?
Why or why not?
Net income would _____ from $ ______to $ ________.
Answer:

Fixed Expenses 136,300 261,700 398,000
Net Income 14,700 52,300 67,000
c1) Cawley should not eliminate the Stunner product line.
c2) Net income would decrease from $98,000 to $67,000 if the Stunner product line is eliminated.
Explanation:
a) The decision to be made is whether to eliminate a product line or not. In making such decisions, the relevant costs to be considered are avoidable costs. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable and should not be taken into account.
b) Stunner makes a Net Income of $31,000 without the allocated common fixed expenses. This shows that the allocated common fixed expenses is actually causing Stunner to record Net Loss. And when Stunner is eliminated the company is not better off.
c) Allocation of Fixed Expenses based on Sales:
Tingler = 296/800 * $290,000 = $107,300 Plus direct cost of $29,000 = $136,300
Shocker = 504/800 * $290,000 = $182,700 Plus direct of of $79,000 = $261,700

Great Adventures Problem
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Tony and Suzie see the need for a rugged all-terrain vehicle to transport participants and supplies. They decide to purchase a used Suburban on July 1, 2022, for $15,600. They expect to use the Suburban for five years and then sell the vehicle for $6,300. The following expenditures related to the vehicle were also made on July 1, 2022:_________.
1. The company pays $2,700 to GEICO for a one-year insurance policy.
2. The company spends an extra $6,600 to repaint the vehicle, placing the Great Adventures logo on the front hood, back, and both sides. An additional $2,900 is spent on a deluxe roof rack and a trailer hitch.
3. The painting, roof rack, and hitch are all expected to increase the future benefits of the vehicle for Great Adventures. In addition, on October 22, 2022, the company pays $2,200 for basic vehicle maintenance related to changing the oil, replacing the windshield wipers, rotating the tires, and inserting a new air filter.

4. Record the depreciation expense and any other adjustments related to the vehicle on December 31, 2022. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.)
Answer and Explanation:
The Journal entry is shown below:-
Amount should be capitalized for new vehicle = Cost + Painting and new logo cost + Deluxe Roof rack and trailer hitch
= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.
Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 per year
In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
So, the Journal entry is
Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880
To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880
(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)
Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.
The journal entry will include a depreciation account as well as accumulated depreciation.
What is depreciation?Depreciation can be defined as the amount deducted from the asset because of the wear and tear of the asset after its use Which will reduce the price of the asset.
Capitalization for a new car should be calculated as follows: Cost + Painting and Logo Cost + Deluxe Roof Rack and Trailer Hitch
= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900
= $25,100
We factored in the price of the painting, a luxurious roof, and a trailer hitch because such expenses should raise the car's potential future value.
Depreciation is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) x Years.
= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5
= $3,760 annually
For the year ending December 31, 2022, the depreciation expense for the automobile operated for only 6 months (July to December) is
= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12
= $1,880
The journal entry is therefore
depreciation costs (dr.) $1,880
accumulated depreciation $1,880

Which factors are relevant to the time a consumer spends looking at a product on the shelf prior to selection? The article "Effects of Base Price Upon Search Behavior of Consumers in a Supermarket" (J. Econ. Psycho., 2003: 637-652) reported the following data on elapsed time (sec) for fabric softener purchasers and washing-up liquid purchasers; the former product is significantly more expensive than the latter. These products were chosen because they are similar with respect to allocated shelf space and number of alternative brands. Calculate a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the means for the two products.
Answer:
Shown below.
Explanation:
In this case we need to compute a 90% confidence interval for the true difference between the mean elapsed time (sec) for fabric softener purchasers and washing-up liquid purchasers.
It is provided that these products were chosen because they are similar with respect to allocated shelf space and number of alternative brands.
The (1 - α)% confidence interval for the true difference between the means, when the population standard deviations are not known, is given as follows:
[tex]CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm t_{\alpha/2, (n_{1}+n_{2}-2)}\times S_{p}\times\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}}[/tex]
Here,
[tex]\bar x_{1}=\text{sample mean for fabric softener purchasers}\\\bar x_{2}=\text{sample mean for washing-up liquid purchasers}\\S_{p}=\text{pooled standard deviation}[/tex]
The formula to compute the value of [pooled standard deviation is:
[tex]S_{p}=\sqrt{\frac{(n_{1}-1)s_{1}^{2}+(n_{2}-1)s_{2}^{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}}[/tex]
Analysis reveals that a company had a net increase in cash of $22,750 for the current year. Net cash provided by operating activities was $20,500; net cash used in investing activities was $11,250 and net cash provided by financing activities was $13,500. If the year-end cash balance is $27,750, the beginning cash balance was: Multiple Choice $5,000. $17,750. $50,500. $45,500. $44,500.
Answer:
The correct answer = $5,000
Explanation:
First of all, let us find the difference between the total cash provided and the total cash used up within the period:
Total cash provided = operating activities + financing activities
Total cash provided = 20,500 + 13,500 = $34,000
Total cash used up = investing activities = $11,250
Retained balance from the activities of the period = Total cash provided - Total cash used up
= 34,000 - 11,250 = $22,750
Retained balance from the activities of the period = $22,750
However, we are told that the year-end cash balance = $27,750. This means that the excess cash on the retained balance from operating activities within the period is from the beginning cash balance, and this is calculated as follows:
year-end cash balance = Retained balance from the activities + beginning cash balance
27,750 = 22,750 + beginning cash balance
∴ beginning cash balance = 27,750 - 22,750 = $5,000
∴ beginning cash balance = $5,000

Target unitary variable cost= $240 per unit
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales in units= 2,000
Selling price= $470
Total cost= $800,000 per year
Fixed costs= $320,000 per year.
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= total cost - total fixed costs
Total variable cost= 800,000 - 320,000
Total variable cost= 480,000
Now, we can calculate the target unitary variable cost:
Target unitary variable cost= 480,000/2,000
Target unitary variable cost=$240 per unit
Assume you are going to receive a payment of $1,000 in 5 years. You'd like to know what that cash flow would be worth in 2 years. To calculate the answer, you use the given interest rate to obtain an equivalent cash flow expressed in year 2 dollars. This is an example of calculating a...
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
Group of answer choices:
A. Present Value
B. Future Value
C. Discounted Value
D. Annuity
E. Lump Sum
The correct option is C,discounted value
Explanation:
The worth of the cash flow which is $1,000 is given with reference to the worth in 5 years' terms,hence restating the cash flow to its worth in two years' time is discounting to its two years' worth.
The answer cannot be present value since the cash flow is not being discounted to today's equivalent amount.
Also,future value is not correct since future value of $1,000 is already provided in the question
Andy Anderson is the only supplier of email updates on avalanche conditions in the mountains above the two towns of Vanee and Keno. The marginal cost of producing these updates is zero (with zero fixed costs) and the inverse demand for these updates in Vanee is p = 42-q and p = 9-q in Keno. Suppose that in each of the two towns, all of the demand comes from one customer. Andy cannot identify which customer is which. To get around this, he creates two kinds of packages, one containing 42 updates and one containing 9. He allows his customers to simply buy one and only one of the kind of package that they prefer. What is the maximum price Andy could charge for the large package if he wants the Vanee customer to buy the package of 42 and the Keno customer to buy the package of 9?
Answer:
Explanation:
He will charge for smaller package Equal to consumer surplus of keno customer with q = 9
Price of small package = 1 / 2 * 9 * 9
=40.5
If veno willingness to pay for 9 updates is
= 1 / 2 * 9 * 9 + 9 * (42 - 9)
= 40.5 + 9 * 33
= 40.5 + 297 = 337.5
So he will get surplus of (337.5 - 40.5 = 297 by buying smaller package.
Veno willingness to pay for larger package = 1/2 * 42 * 42 = 882
To make veno buy larger package ,andy need to make sure that veno also get same CONSUMERs surplus by buying larger package.
So price for larger package = 882 - 297 = 585
A manufacturing company that has only one product has established the following standards for its variable manufacturing overhead. The company bases its variable manufacturing overhead standards on direct labor-hours. Standard hours per unit of output 3.20 DLHs Standard variable overhead rate $ 10.55 per DLH The following data pertain to operations for the last month: Actual direct labor-hours 9,400 DLHs Actual total variable manufacturing overhead cost $ 95,780 Actual output 2,700 units What is the variable overhead efficiency variance for the month?
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 8,018 Unfavorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.
Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance
Hours
2,700 units should have taken (2,700 × 3.20) 8640
but did take (actual hours) 9,400
Efficiency variance in hours 760 unfavorable
standard variable overhead cost per hour $10.55
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 8,018 Unfavorable
Variable overhead efficiency variance $ 8,018 Unfavorable
Pricing Strategy, Sales Variances Eastman, Inc., manufactures and sells three products: R, S, and T. In January, Eastman, Inc., budgeted sales of the following. Budgeted Volume Budgeted Price Product R 125,900 $26 Product S 156,500 22 Product T 22,500 21 At the end of the year, actual sales revenue for Product R and Product S was $3,220,000 and $3,358,000, respectively. The actual price charged for Product R was $25 and for Product S was $20. Only $11 was charged for Product T to encourage more consumers to buy it, and actual sales revenue equaled $645,150 for this product. Required: 1. Calculate the sales price and sales volume variances for each of the three products based on the original budget. Sales price variance Sales volume variance Product R $ $ Product S $ $ Product T $ $ 2. Suppose that Product T is a new product just introduced during the year. What pricing strategy is Eastman, Inc., following for this product? Check My Work
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
Sales price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual units sold
Product R : ($25 - $26) * 123000 = $123000 unfavorable
Product S:($20 - $22) * 162700 = $325400 unfavorable
Product T: ($10 - $20) * 54000 = $540000 unfavorable
Sales volume variance = (Actual units - Budgeted units) * Standard price
Product R : (120000 - 123000) * 26 = $78000 favorable
Product S:(150000 - 162700) * 22 = $279400 favorable
Product T: (20000 - 54000) * 20 = $680000 favorable
Notes:
Actual units:
Product R = $3075000/ $25 = 123000
Product S = $3254000/$20 = 162700
Product T = $540000/$10 = 54000 units
Which of the following situations leads to an unplanned increase in inventories of $2.0 trillion? A. real GDP = $5.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $7.0 trillion B. real GDP = $5.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $5.0 trillion C. real GDP = $6.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $4.0 trillion D. real GDP = $8.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $5.0 trillion E. More information is needed about planned investment and actual investment.
Answer: C. real GDP = $6.0 trillion and aggregate planned expenditures = $4.0 trillion
Explanation:
Unplanned Inventory arises when Real GDP is larger than Planned Expenditure because it must satisfy the below formula,
Real GDP = Planned + Unplanned expenditure
For Option C,
Real GDP = 6.0 trillion,
Planned expenditure = 4.0 trillion
Unplanned Expenditure = Real GDP - Planned Expenditure
= $6.0 trillion - $4.0 trillion
= $2.0 trillion
Therefore Option C is correct as it led to a $2.0 trillion increase in Expenditure which translates to inventory.
Which of the following statements is FALSE? Group of answer choices The right discount rate for a cash flow is the rate of return available in the market on other investments of comparable risk and term. To compensate for the risk that they will receive less than promised if the firm defaults, investors demand a lower interest rate than the rate on U.S. Treasuries. The equivalent after-tax interest rate is r(1 - τ). The actual cash flow that the investor will get to keep will be reduced by the amount of any tax payments.
Answer:
To compensate for the risk that they will receive less than promised if the firm defaults, investors demand a lower interest rate than the rate on U.S. Treasuries.
Explanation:
Investors are risk averse, this means that they will always prefer those investments with lower risks. Since US treasuries are considered the safest investments, they are used to calculate the risk free rate.
When investors invest in other securities (not US government) they will always demand a higher return because a private entity or even a state or local government can default on a their debt. That difference between the return yielded by a US security and the return from any other investment is called the risk premium.
Debtors are interested in the times interest earned ratio because they want to a.know the tax effect of lending to a corporation b.be sure their debt is backed by collateral c.know what rate of interest the corporation is paying d.have adequate protection against a potential drop in earnings jeopardizing their interest payments
Answer: d.have adequate protection against a potential drop in earnings jeopardizing their interest payments
Explanation:
The Times Interest Earned Ratio is a measure that allows for the analysis of if a company can keep up it's debt payments.
It is calculated by dividing the Earnings before Interest and Tax by the Interest Expense of the debt.
The higher the number, the better because it means that they can keep up debt payments several times over.
As Debtors therefore, this figure is important because missing a debt payment is very bad for credit ratings and this matrix helps them realise if they can keep paying for debt even if their Earnings drop.
The stock of Cooper Corporation is 70% owned by Carole and 30% owned by Carole's brother, Chris. During 2017, Chris transferred property (basis of $100,000 and FMV of $120,000) as a contribution to the capital of Cooper. During February 2018, Cooper adopted a plan of liquidation and subsequently made a pro rata distribution of the property back to Carole and Chris. At the time of the liquidation, the property had an FMV of $80,000. What amount of loss can be recognized by Cooper on the distribution of property?
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Since 100% of Cooper Corporation's stock were owned by Carole and Chris (who are siblings), then no one can recognize any loss or gain from the contribution of property (nor the distribution of property). Under section 351, no gain or loss can be recognized for the contribution of property in exchange for stocks in a controlled corporation.
Since the contribution was made through a carryover basis transaction less than 5 years before the liquidation, the distribution is carried out in the same way.

Suppose that annual output in year 1 in a 3-good economy is 3 quarts of ice cream, 1 bottle of shampoo, and 3 jars of peanut butter. In year 2, the output mix changes to 5 quarts of ice cream, 2 bottles of shampoo, and 2 jars of peanut butter. If the prices in both years are $4 per quart for ice cream, $3 per bottle of shampoo, and $2 per jar of peanut butter, what was the economy's GDP in year 1? What was its GDP in year 2?
Answer:
$21
$30
Explanation:
GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year.
GDP in year 1 = (3 × $4) + (1 ×$3 ) + (3 x $2) =$21
GDP in year 2 = ( 5 x $4) + (2 x$3 ) + (2 x $2) = $30

Direct Materials and Direct Labor Variances At the beginning of June, Bezco Toy Company budgeted 10,000 toy action figures to be manufactured in June at standard direct materials and direct labor costs as follows: Direct materials $10,500 Direct labor 4,800 Total $15,300 The standard materials price is $0.7 per pound. The standard direct labor rate is $12 per hour. At the end of June, the actual direct materials and direct labor costs were as follows: Actual direct materials $9,500 Actual direct labor 4,400 Total $13,900 There were no direct materials price or direct labor rate variances for June. In addition, assume no changes in the direct materials inventory balances in June. Bezco Toy Company actually produced 8,800 units during June. Determine the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances. Round your per unit computations to two decimal places, if required. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance = -$260 Unfavorable
Direct labor time variance = -$176 Unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the direct materials quantity and direct labor time variances is shown below:-
Direct material quantity variance = (Standard Direct material ÷ Company budgeted × Produced units) - Actual direct material
= ($10,500 ÷ 10,000 × 8,800) - $9,500
= ($1.05 × 8,800) - $9,500
= $9,240 - $9,500
= -$260 Unfavorable
Direct labor time variance = (Standard Direct labor ÷ Company budgeted × Produced units) - Actual direct labor
= ($4,800 ÷ 10,000 × 8,800) - $4,400
= $0.48 × 8,800) - $4,400
= $4,224 - $4,400
= -$176 Unfavorable
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
The area manager of the Red, White, and Brew Restaurants is considering two possible expansion alternatives. The required investments, expected controllable margins, and the ROIs of each are as follows:
Project Investment Controllable Margin ROI
Phoenix $120,000 $30,000 25%
Chicago $540,000 $50,000 9.25%
The Red, White, and Brew segment has currently $2,000,000 in invested capital and a controllable margin of $250,000.
1. Which one of following projects will increase the Red, White, and Brew division’s ROI?
O Both the Phoenix and Chicago optionsO Only the Phoenix optionO Only the Chicago optionO Neither the Phoenix nor the Chicago options
Answer:
Only the Phoenix
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
ROI of Red, White And Brew Segment = Controllable Margin ÷ Total Investment × 100
$250,000 ÷ $2,000,000 × 100 = 12.5%
ROI of Phoenix = 25%
ROI of Chicago = 9.25%
So only phoenix will increase the red, white and brew division’s ROI, Because Chicago ROI is less than ROI of Red, White and Brew Segment.
Bakers' Town Bread is selling 1,500 shares of stock through a Dutch auction. The bids received are as follows: 200 shares at $17 a share, 400 shares at $15, 700 shares at $14, 400 shares at $13, and 200 shares at $11 a share. How much cash will the company receive from selling these shares of stock?
Answer:
$19,500
Explanation:
A Dutch auction is one of many common Auction types to buy or sell goods. Most generally, it means an auction where the auctioneer starts with a high selling price and decreases it until some buyer accepts the offer or arrives at a fixed reserve price.
Therefore in the given case, the cash received by the company from selling the shares of stock is
= 1,500 shares × $13
= $19,500
The $13 represent the highest bid price
Zanny Moldings has the following estimated costs for the upcoming year:
Direct materials used $25,800
Direct labor costs $62,600
Salary of factory supervisor $37,600
Advertising expense $33,800
Heating and lighting costs for factory $22,000
Depreciation on factory equipment $5600
Sales commissions $8100
The company estimates that 2100 direct labor hours will be worked in the upcoming year, while 2700 machine hours will be used during the year. The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour is closest to:____________
A) $72.
B) $51.
C) $29.
D) $31.
Answer:
D) $31.
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined overhead rate is shown below:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead ÷ estimated direct labor hours
where,
Estimated manufacturing overhead is
= Salary of factory supervisor + Heating and lighting costs for factory + Depreciation on factory equipment
= $37,600 + $22,000 + $5,600
= $65,200
And, the direct labor hours is 2,100
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $65,200 ÷ 2,100
= $31
