Bismark Inc, a large manufacturer of heavy equipment components, has determined the following activity cost pools and cost driver levels for the year:
Activity Cost Pool Activity Cost Activity Cost Driver
Machine Setup $600,000 15,000 setup hours
Material handling 90,000 3,000 tons of materials
Machine operation 420,000 12,000 machine hours
The following data are for the production of single batches of two products, Camshafts and Swing Drives during the month of August:
Camshafts Swing Drives
Units produced 1,500 900
Machine hours 4 5
Direct labor hours 300 500
Direct labor cost $7,000 $12,000
Direct materials cost $40,000 $30,000
Tons of materials 10 7
Setup hours 5 8
Determine the unit costs of Camshafts and Swing Drives using ABC. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Camshafts $ _____
Swing Drives $_____
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Machine Setup= 600,000 / 15,000= $40 per setup hour
Material handling= 90,000 / 3,000= $30 per ton of material
Machine operation= 420,000 / 12,000= $35 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate costs to each product:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Camshafts:
Machine Setup= 40*5= $200
Material handling= 30*10= $300
Machine operation= 35*4= $140
Total allocated costs= $640
Swing Drives:
Machine Setup= 40*8= $320
Material handling= 30*7= $210
Machine operation= 35*5= $175
Total allocated costs= $705
Finally, the unitary cost:
Camshafts:
Total cost= 40,000 + 7,000 + 640= $47,640
Unitary cost= 47,640 / 1,500= $31.76
Swing Drives:
Total cost= 30,000 + 12,000 + 705= $42,705
Unitary cost= 42,705 / 900= $47.45
Advanced Enterprises reports year−end information from 2019 as follows: Sales (160,250 units) $969,000 Cost of goods sold (641,000) Gross margin 328,000 Operating expenses (268,000) Operating income $60,000 Advanced is developing the 2020 budget. In 2020 the company would like to increase selling prices by 13.5%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 10%. All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant. Assume that cost of goods sold is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost. What is budgeted cost of goods sold
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $576,900
Explanation:
The budgeted cost of goods sold will be the sales volume in 2020 multiplied by cost per unit .
Sales volume in year 2020= (100-10)% × sales figure for 2019
= 90% × 160,250= 144,225
Cost of goods sold per unit = cost of goods sold in 2019/Sales units in 2019
= 641,000/160250=$4
Cost of goods sold = $4× 144,225 = $576,900
Cost of goods sold = $576,900

The Tradition Corporation is considering a change in its cash-only policy. The new terms would be net one period. The required return is 2.4 percent per period. Based on the following information, what is the break-even price per unit that should be charged under the new credit policy? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Current Policy New Policy ?
Price per unit $ 93 ?
Cost per unit $ 44 $ 44
Unit sales per month 2,675 2,750
X Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
Break-even price $ 92.87 x
Answer: $93.86
Explanation:
The break even price simply refers to the price that's required to make a normal profit. From the information given, the break even price will be:
= [($93-$44) × 2675)/2750) + 44] × ( 1 + 2.3%)
= [$49 × 2675)/2750)+44] × (1+0.024)
= [(49 × 2675)/2750)+44] × 1.024
= [(131075/2750) + 44] × 1.024
= (47.66 + 44) × 1.024
= 91.66 × 1.024
= $93.86
Therefore, the break even price is $93.86
Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $65,000 and ends the year with inventory of $55,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts. Purchase on February 17 $ 220,000 Purchase on May 6 140,000 Purchase on September 8 170,000 Purchase on December 4 420,000 Required: Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
COGS= $960,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventroy= $65,000
Ending inventory= $55,000
Total Purchase= 220,000 + 140,000 + 170,000+ 420,000= $950,000
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
COGS= beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending inventory
COGS= 65,000 + 950,000 - 55,000
COGS= $960,000
Sheila and Jim live in an island where they are the only two workers. Sheila can either catch 10 fish or gather 40 pounds of berries each day, and Jim can either catch 8 fish or gather 24 pounds of berries each day. Both of them work 200 days per year. At current world prices 1 fish trades for 3.5 pounds of berries. Who has the comparative advantage in producing berries
Answer:
SHEILA
Explanation:
A person has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other people.
Sheila's opportunity cost in producing berries = 10/40 = 0.25
Jim's opportunity cost in producing berries = 8/24 = 0.33
Sheila has a lower opportunity cost in the production of berries and thus has a comparative advantage in the production of berries

Explanation:
Money can be used to pay your current debts at a later date since $100 will still be $100 in the future. They might lose some of its value due to inflation, but they do not spoil or rot, and will probably be accepted in the future. imagine trying to pay an old debt with rotten tomatoes or an old cow.
