Answer:
a. $392, 265
Explanation:
Given that:
i. Purchasing department, overhead allocation rate is $77 per purchase order.
ii. Assembly department, overhead allocation rate is $5 per part.
iii. Packaging department, overhead allocation rate is $4 per unit.
iv. Direct material cost is $70 per unit.
v. Each stereo has 50 parts.
Total parts required = 1200 x 50
= 60000
vi. 45 purchase order was required for 1200 stereos.
Thus:
i. $77 x 45 = $3465
ii. $5 x 60000 = $300000
iii. $4 x 1200 = $4800
iv. $70 x 1200 = $84000
Therefore,
total cost for 1200 stereos = $3465 + $300000 + $4800 + $84000
= $392, 265
The barter system is a form of trading in which goods are exchanged directly for other goods without the use of money or as an intermediary, without a medium of exchange. The invention of money supplemented the barter system by providing a nonperishable medium of exchange.
