Answer:
a) expected revenue = 20,000 tons x $600 = $12,000,000 per year
initial investment = $3,000,000 + $300,000 = $3,300,000
contribution margin per unit = $600 - $450 = $150
total contribution margin = $150 x 20,000 = $3,000,000
annual fixed costs = $850,000
depreciation expense per year = $750,000
tax rate = 38%
required return rate = 18%
after tax salvage value = $280,000 x (1 - 38%) = $173,600
NCF₀ = -$3,300,000
NCF₁ = [($3,000,000 - $850,000 - $750,000) x 0.62] + $750,000 = $1,618,000
NCF₂ = $1,618,000
NCF₃ = $1,618,000
NCF₄ = $1,618,000 + $300,000 + $173,600 = $2,091,600
NPV = $1,296,797.61
IRR = 36.36%
b) our best case scenario:
expected revenue = 20,000 tons x $660 = $13,200,000 per year
initial investment = $2,550,000 + $285,000 = $2,835,000
contribution margin per unit = $660 - $450 = $210
total contribution margin = $210 x 20,000 = $4,200,000
annual fixed costs = $850,000
depreciation expense per year = $637,500
tax rate = 38%
required return rate = 18%
after tax salvage value = $322,000 x (1 - 38%) = $199,640
NCF₀ = -$2,835,000
NCF₁ = [($4,200,000 - $850,000 - $637,500) x 0.62] + $637,500 = $2,319,250
NCF₂ = $2,319,250
NCF₃ = $2,319,250
NCF₄ = $2,319,250 + $285,000 + $199,640 = $2,803,890
NPV = $3,655,445.13
IRR = 74.34%
our worst case scenario:
expected revenue = 20,000 tons x $540 = $10,800,000 per year
initial investment = $3,450,000 + $315,000 = $3,765,000
contribution margin per unit = $540 - $450 = $90
total contribution margin = $90 x 20,000 = $1,800,000
annual fixed costs = $850,000
depreciation expense per year = $862,500
tax rate = 38%
required return rate = 18%
after tax salvage value = $238,000 x (1 - 38%) = $147,560
NCF₀ = -$3,765,000
NCF₁ = [($1,800,000 - $850,000 - $862,500) x 0.62] + $862,500 = $916,750
NCF₂ = $916,750
NCF₃ = $916,750
NCF₄ = $916,750 + $315,000 + $147,560 = $1,379,310
NPV = -$1,060,302.54
IRR = 3.56%
BensonBenson & Company is an architectural firm specializing in home remodeling for private clients and new office buildings for corporate clients. charges customers at a billing rate equal to % of the client's total job cost. A client's total job cost is a combination of (1) professional time spent on the client ( per hour cost of employing each professional) and (2) operating overhead allocated to the client's job. allocates operating overhead to jobs based on professional hours spent on the job. estimates its five professionals will incur a total of 10,000 professional hours working on client jobs during the year.
AllissaAllissa LarsonLarson hired BensonBenson to design her kitchen remodeling. A total of 35 professional hours were incurred on this job. In addition, LarsonLarson's remodeling job required one of the professionals to travel back and forth to her house for a total of 155 miles. The blueprints had to be copied four times because LarsonLarson changed the plans several times. In addition, 14 hours of secretarial time were used lining up the subcontractors for the job.
All operating costs other than professional salaries (travel reimbursements, copy costs, secretarial salaries, office lease, and soforth) can be assigned to the three activities. Total activity costs, cost drivers, and total usage of those cost drivers are estimated as follows:
Activity Total Activity Cost Cost Driver Usage Total Usage by Corporate Clients Total usage by Private Clients

Total operating overhead. . . . $234,000
Required:
a. Calculate the current indirect cost allocation rate per professional hour.
b. Calculate the total amount that would be billed to LarsonLarson given the current costing structure.
c. Calculate the activity cost allocation rates that could be used to allocate operating overhead costs to client jobs.
d. Calculate the amount that would be billed to LarsonLarson using ABC costing.
e. Which type of billing system is more fair to clients? Explain.
Answer:
Benson & Company
a. Current indirect cost allocation rate per professional hour = Total overhead divided by 10,000 professional hours
$234,000/10,000
= $23.40
b. Total amount that would be billed to Larson with the current costing structure:
= $23.40 * 35
= $819.00
c. Overhead Rates based on ABC:
Transport to clients = $0.60 ($9,000/15,000)
Blueprint copying = $35.00 ($35,000/1,000)
Office support = $38.00 ($190,000/5,000)
d. Larson's Job based on ABC:
Transport to clients = $93 ($0.60 * 155)
Blueprint copying = 140 ($35.00 * 4)
Office support = 532 ($38.00 * 14)
Total $765
e. With Benson Company using ABC billing system to charge Larson, the system is fairer to clients generally, because it takes into consideration the volume of each activity consumed per client. Customers are charged based on actual activities consumed, and not based on some arbitrary figures. It is more reflective of the cost structure of the business and offers the best quality service to customers because price is determined by volume of activities.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Professional hours spent on Larson job = 35 hours
Travel = 155 miles
Blueprints copies = 4
Secretarial time = 14 hours
Other operating costs:
Activity Total Activity Cost Driver Total Usage by Total Usage by
Cost Usage Corporate Clients Private Clients
Transportation Round-trip mileage
to clients $9,000 to clients 1,500 miles 13,500 miles
Blueprint
copying 35,000 Number of copies 250 copies 750 copies
Office support 190,000 Secretarial time 2,600 secretarial 2,400 secretarial hours hours
Total operating overhead $234,000
Estimated professional hours = 10,000
Overhead Rate = $23.40
Larson's Job:
Overhead cost = $23.40 * 35 = $819.00
Overhead Rates based on ABC: Larson's Job
Transport to clients = $0.60 $93 ($0.60 * 155)

Luzadis Company makes furniture using the latest automated technology. The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to products on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimates $900,000 of total manufacturing overhead for an estimated activity level of 75,000 machine-hours.
During the year, a large quantity of furniture on the market resulted in cutting back production and a buildup of furniture in the company’s warehouse. The company’s cost records revealed the following actual cost and operating data for the year:
Machine-hours 76,000
Manufacturing overhead cost $637,000
Inventories at year-end:
Raw materials $20,000
Work in process (includes overhead applied of $36,480) $115,800
Finished goods (includes overhead applied of $91,200) $289,500
Cost of goods sold (includes overhead applied of $480,320) $1,524,700
Required:
a. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead.
b. Assume that the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
c. Assume that the company allocates any underapplied or over appliedoverhead proportionally to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
d. How much higher or lower will net operating income be if the underapplied or overapplied overhead is allocated to Work in Process, Finished Goods, and Cost of Goods Sold rather than being closed to Cost of Goods Sold?
Answer:
Please solution below
Explanation:
a. Compute the under applied or over applied overhead
First, we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead / Estimated total machine hours
= $900,000 / 75,000 hours
= $12.0 per hour
But;
Actual manufacturing overhead = $637,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to work in process during the year = 76,000 actual MHs × $12.00 per MH $912,000
Over applied overhead cost = $275,000
b. Journal entry
Cost of goods sold Dr $275,000
To Manufacturing over head applied Cr $275,000
c. The over applied over head would be allocated using the following percentages;
Overhead applied during the year ;
Work in process = $36,480. 6%
Finished goods = $91,200. 15%
Cost of goods sold = $480,320 79%
Total = $608,000 100%
The entry to record the allocation of the overhead applied would be ;
Work in process [6% × $275,000] = $16,500
Finished goods [15% × $275,000] = $41,250
Cost of goods sold [79% × $275,000] = $217,250
d. Comparing the two method;
Cost of goods sold if the over applied overhead is closed to the cost of goods sold [$1,524,700 + $275,000] = $1,799,700
Cost of goods sold if the overhead applied is closed to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold = [$1,524,700 + $217,250] =
$1,741,950
Difference in cost of goods sold = $57,750

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Other current liabilities 2,003 1,695
Total current liabilities $15,575 $16,539
(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.
Total cash received (in $ millions) = $Answer
(c) Use the financial statement effects template to show the effect of the cash Costco received during 2016 for membership fees and the recognition of membership fees revenue for 2016.

Robin, who is a head of household and age 42, provides you with the following information from his financial records for 2019. Robin itemizes deductions. Regular income tax liability $142,125 PositiveAMT adjustments 30,000 AMT preferences 100,000 Taxable income 481,000 Calculate Robin's AMT for 2019. a.$12,636. b.$3,757. c.$12,032. d.$15,126.
Answer:
$15,158.
Explanation:
We can calculate the Robin's AMT for 2019 by first deducting the AMT exemption for 2019 and then multiplying it by the rate of 26% FOR 2019.
DATA
AMT preferences 100,000
PositiveAMT adjustments 30,000
Total AMT = $100,000 + $30,000 = $130,000
Solution
Exemption for 2019 = $71,700.
Robin's AMT for 2019 = ($130,000 - $71,700) × 26%
Robin's AMT for 2019 = $15,158.

Please discuss the following two scenarios: Both scenarios consist of a loan of $1000 on Jan.1 - to be paid back on Dec. 31. A is the lender and B is the debtor.
Scenario 1: On Nov. 7th, A calls B to see how he is doing. B says he is not doing well. A asks if B will be able to pay the $1000 on Dec. 31. B says probably not. A asks how much B will have and B says about $700. A tells B to pay him $700 on Dec. 31 and that he will not owe him the additional $300. A puts it in writing. On Dec. 31, B pays the agreed upon $700. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants the additional $300.
Scenario 2: Same situation, but on the Nov. 7th phone call, A tells B to pay him the $700 now and then he will not owe him the additional $300. It is put in writing. B pays $700 on Nov. 7th. Then on January 15th, A calls B and tells him that he wants to additional $300. In which scenario can A get the additional $300.
In which scenario can A get the additional $300? It could be in both scenarios, neither or one of them. What do you think?
Answer:
Neither
Explanation:
When A creates a deal of B paying only $700 now or on 31st December with a written commitment that he will not owe $300, it means A has decided to write off the $300. Had A not created any written document and just asked B to pay $700 now and then later on reminded and demanded $300 it would have been fine. A would still be legally right in maintaining that B still owes the balance $300.
However, giving a written commitment of waving off the $300 on payment of $700 now or by 31st Dec which B accepts and also adheres to by paying means that B has fulfilled the new agreement. As A has only floated the new agreement, he cannot go back from his own statements.

Explanation:
Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:
Answer:
539,000.00
Explanation:
As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.
For Etuck327,
The selling price is $39
Variable expense is $28
Break-even in units is 49,000 books.
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs
=$39- $28
=$11
if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then
49,000= fixed cost / 11
fixed costs = 11 x 49000
Fixed costs = 539,000.00
Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Order quantity books
c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point
Answer:
A. Continuous review system
B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books
C. Reorder point=987
Explanation:
a. In order To manage inventory, the company is using what is called Continuous review system
b. Calculation to find the order quality
Using this formula
Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)
Let plug in the morning
Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)
Order quantity = 2,049 Books
(138*358=49,404)
C. Calculation for reorder point
First step is to find the σL
73 % S.L. - z = 0.613
Using this formula to find the σL
σL = (Lσ^2)
Let plug in the formula
σL=√(7(13)^2)
σL= 34.39
Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula
R = d bar(L) + zσL
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)
Reorder point = 966+21
Reorder point=987

f. Assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the a location base in both production departments. What is the departmental predetermined overhead rate in the Assembly department? (Round your answer to
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
a) To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (77,200 + 3,000 + 14,000) / 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.42 per machine hour
b) To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Job E:
Allocated MOH= 5,000*9.42
Allocated MOH= $23,550
c) Total cost= 21,600 + 22,600 + 47,100
Total cost= $91,300
d) Selling price= 91,300*1.2= $109,560
e) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (24,000/3,000) + 1
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9 per machine hour
f) Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (53,200/7,000) + 2
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $9.6 per machine hour

An example of a pioneering cost is the cost of Multiple Choice hiring management personnel. competing with existing multinationals. promoting a new product. transport fees. retaining employees.
Answer:
C. promoting a new product.
Explanation:
A foreign direct investment (FDI) can be defined as an investment made by an individual or business entity (investor) into an investment market (industry) located in another country. The investor here, shares a different country of origin from the country where his investment is located.
When establishing a foreign direct investment, investors are required to consider some basic entry decisions such as free market, political stability, low inflation rates, pioneering costs etc.
In a foreign investment, pioneering cost arises because the business investment differs from that in the firm's domestic market and such it is necessary that, the firm dedicate a good deal of time, money (expenses) and efforts to learning and adapting to the market rules, policies and processes.
Hence, an example of a pioneering cost is the cost of promoting a new product, cost of enlightening and education of customers etc.
Brazil has a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate. The typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident. Answer the following questions solely from the perspective of new growth theory:
Which of the following best explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects in light of the key tenets of new growth theory.
A. Since economic growth is driven by international trade in technology and capital, if Brazil opens its borders, its literacy and reading rates will improve as the country experiences economic growth.
B. Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
C. Since it has been demonstrated that technological advancement and not human capital is the key determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates should not affect its potential economic growth rate.
D. Since technologically advanced physical capital is necessary for economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its economic growth rate will be lower because there are not enough skilled workers to operate sophisticated machinery.
Answer:
B)Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed about Brazil having a population of about 210 million, with about 150 million over the age of 15. And Of these, an estimated 25 percent, or 37.5 million people, are functionally illiterate, and also compare how the typical literate individual reads only about two nonacademic books per year, which is less than half the number read by the typical literate U.S. or European resident.
From the view of New growth theory,the option that explains the implications of Brazil's literacy and reading rates for its growth prospects is that Since the development of human capital is an important determinant of economic growth, Brazil's literacy and reading rates suggests its potential economic growth rate is lower.
New growth theory, which was attributed to Paul Romer, explains about Economic growth in the long run in related to internal factors of with knowledge as well as human capital. In this scenario Brazil should arrive to make sure the literacy rate among people is increased as possible
Ming borrows X for 10 years at an annual effective interest rate of 8%. If he pays the principal and accumulated interest in one lump sum at the end of 10 years, he would pay 468.05 more in interest than if he repaid the loan with 10 level payments at the end of each year. Calculate X.
Answer:
X = $700
Explanation:
the future value of X = X · (1 + 8%)¹⁰ = 2.158925X
X = annual payment · 6.7101 (PV annuity factor, 8%, 10 periods)
annual payment = X / 6.7101
2.158925X = 10 annual payments + 468.05
2.158925X = 10X/6.7101 + 468.05
2.158925X = 1.490291X + 468.05
0.668634X = 468.05
X = 468.05 / 0.668634 = $700
if you payback the loan in one lump sum at the end of 10 years, you will pay = $700 x 2.158925 = $1,511.25
or you could make 10 annual payments = $700 / 6.7101 = $104.32, in total you would pay $1,043.20
the difference between both = $1,511.25 - $1,043.20 = $468.05
A deposit of $10,000 is made a year from now, a second deposit of $10,000 is made at the end of the year 5, and a deposit of $3000 is made at the end of year 8. The account earns 6% interest. You want to withdraw an equal amount, X at the end of each year for the next 10 years. What is the amount of X if the goal is to empty the account
Answer:
$4068.77
Explanation:
We calculate the Future value of all the three deposits at the end of year 8
FV = CF1 *(1+r)^8-1 + CF5*(1+r)^8-5 + CF8 * (1+r)^8-8
FV = 10000 *(1+0.06)^7 + 10000*(1+0.06)^3 + 3000 * (1+0.06)^0
FV = 15,036.30 + 11,910.16 + 3,000
FV= $29,946.46
We have to calculate the annuity payments that have a Present value = $29,946.46
PV = PMT * 1-(1+r)^-n / r
PV = 29,946.46, PMT= ?, r = 6%, n = 10
29,946.46 = PMT * 1-(1+0.06)^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 1.06^-10 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 1 - 0.558395 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 0.441605 / 0.06
29,946.46 = PMT * 7.36008
PMT = 29,946.46/7.36008
PMT = 4068.768274257889
PMT = $4068.77
Thus, amount of X is $4068.77 if the goal is to empty the account.

Seiko’s current salary is $85,000. Her marginal tax rate is 32 percent and she fancies European sports cars. She purchases a new auto each year. Seiko is currently a manager for an Idaho Office Supply. Her friend, knowing of her interest in sports cars, tells her about a manager position at the local BMW and Porsche dealer. The new position pays only $75,000 per year, but it allows employees to purchase one new car per year at a discount of $15,000. This discount qualifies as a nontaxable fringe benefit. In an effort to keep Seiko as an employee, Idaho Office Supply offers her a $10,000 raise. Answer the following questions about this analysis.
Problem 12-41
Part a a. Assuming it has a 21 percent marginal tax rate, what is the annual after-tax cost to Idaho Office Supply to provide Seiko with the $10,000 increase in salary?
Answer:
$7,900
Explanation:
Given that:
Assuming a marginal tax rate of 21%
Salary Raise = $10000
Annual after-tax cost to Idaho :
Salary raise ( 1 - marginal tax rate)
$10000 ( 1 - 21%)
$10000( 1 - 0.21)
$10000 - $2100
= $7,900

Assume that your father is now 50 years old, plans to retire in 10 years, and expects to live for 25 years after he retires - that is, until age 85. He wants his first retirement payment to have the same purchasing power at the time he retires as $55,000 has today. He wants all his subsequent retirement payments to be equal to his first retirement payment. (Do not let the retirement payments grow with inflation: Your father realizes that if inflation occurs the real value of his retirement income will decline year by year after he retires). His retirement income will begin the day he retires, 10 years from today, and he will then receive 24 additional annual payments. Inflation is expected to be 3% per year from today forward. He currently has $100,000 saved and expects to earn a return on his savings of 4% per year with annual compounding.
Required:
To the nearest dollar, how much must he save during each of the next 10 years (with equal deposits being made at the end of each year, beginning a year from today) to meet his retirement goal? (Note: Neither the amount he saves nor the amount he withdraws upon retirement is a growing annuity.) Do not round intermediate steps.
Answer:
$87,696
Explanation:
your father wants to get the same distribution during the whole 25 years that he is retired, but we must first determine the initial adjusted to inflation. The $55,000 that he currently earns will be equivalent to $55,000 x (1 + 3%)¹⁰ = $73,915.40 in 10 years.
Since your father wants to start collecting the distributions immediately after he retires, this is an annuity due. Using the present value of an annuity due formula, we can determine the money that he will need to have in 10 years.
PV = annual distribution x annuity factor
annual distribution = $73,915.40PV annuity due factor, 25 periods, 4% = 16.24696PV = $73,915.40 x 16.24696 = $1,200,900.55
That PV now becomes our future value that must be saved.
Since your father already has $100,000 in his account, that will turn into $100,000 x (1 + 4%)¹⁰ = $148,024.43
This means that he is $1,200,900.55 - $148,024.43 = $1,052,876.12 short.
Using the future value of an ordinary annuity formula, we can determine his annual contribution:
annual contribution = FV / annuity factor
FV = $1,052,876.12
FV annuity factor, 4%, 10 periods = 12.006
annual contribution = $1,052,876.12 / 12.006 = $87,695.83 ≈ $87,696

Smithson Company uses a job-order costing system and has two manufacturing departments— Molding and Fabrication. The company provided the following estimates at the beginning of the year:
Molding Fabrication Total
Machine-hours 20,000 30,000 50,000
Fixed manufacturing
overhead costs $800,000 $300,000 $1,100,000
Variable manufacturing
overhead per machine-hour $5.00 $5.00
During the year, the company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed, and sold only two jobs—Job D-75 and Job C-100. It provided the following information related to those two jobs:
Job D-75: Molding Fabrication Total
Direct materials cost $375,000 $325,000 $700,000
Direct labor cost $200,000 $160,000 $360,000
Machine-hours 15,000 5,000 20,000
Job C-200: Molding Fabrication Total
Direct materials cost $300,000 $250,000 $550,000

2-D. What is Delph's cost of goods sold for the year?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
1)
a) First, we need to calculate the total estimated overhead:
Total overhead= 1,100,000 + (5*50,000)= 1,350,000
Now, we can determine the overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,350,000/50,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $27 per machine hour
b)
Job D-75:
Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead
Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 27*20,000
Total cost= $1,600,000
Job C-200:
Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 27*30,000
Total cost= $1,760,000
c) Selling price= 150% of manufacturing costs
Job D-75= 1,600,000*1.5= $2,400,000
Job C-200= 1,760,000*1.5= $2,640,000
d) COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 0 + (1,600,000 + 1,760,000) - 0
COGS= $3,360,000
2)
a)
Molding= (800,000/20,000) + 5= $45 per machine hour
Assembly= (300,000/30,000) + 5= $15 per machine hour
b)
Job D-75:
Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 45*20,000
Total cost= $$1,960,000
Job C-200:
Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 15*30,000
Total cost= $1,400,000
c)
Job D-75= 1,960,000*1.5= $2,940,000
Job C-200= 1,400,000*1.5= $2,100,000
d) COGS= 0 + (1,960,000 + 1,400,000) + 0
COGS= $3,360,000
