Pineapple Motor Company manufactures two types of speciality electric motors, a commercial motor and a residential motor, throug

h two production Assembly and Testing. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering using the muitiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Pineapple:
Assembly Department 360,000.00
Testing Department 900,000.00
Total 1,260,000.00
Direct machine hours were estimated as follows:
Assembly Department 3,000 hours
Testing Department 6,000
Total 9,000 hours
In addition, the direct machine hours (dmh) used to produce a unit of each product in each department were determined from engineering records, as follows:
Commercial Residential
Assembly Department 14 dmh 1.1 dm
Testin Department 2.8 2.2
Total machine hours per unit 4.2 dmh 3.3 dmh
Required:
a. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base.
b. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the commercial and residential motors under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method, using direct machine hours as the allocation base for each department.
c. Recommend to management a product costing approach, based on your analyses in (a) and (b).

Answer:

a. Single Plant wide  Factory Overhead  Rate = $ 140 per machine hour

Overhead Rate of  Assembly Department $ 120 per machine hour

Overhead Rate of  Testing Department=    $ 150 per unit per machine hour.

Total Overhead per Unit    Commercial  $ 588      Residential $  462      

Explanation:

Pineapple Motor Company

Assembly Department  Factory Overhead 360,000

Testing Department  Factory Overhead 900,000

Total  Factory Overhead 1,260,000

Direct machine hours were estimated as follows:

Assembly Department 3,000 hours

Testing Department 6,000

Total 9,000 hours

                                      Commercial              Residential

Assembly Department       1.4 dmh                    1.1 dmh

Testing Department             2.8                           2.2

Total machine hours per unit 4.2 dmh           3.3 dmh

Single Plant wide  Factory Overhead  Rate = Total  Factory Overhead 1,260,000/Total 9,000 hours

a. Single Plant wide  Factory Overhead  Rate = $ 140 per machine hour

Overhead Allocated to Assembly Department = No of Hours * Rate

                      = 3000  * $ 140 = $ 420,000

Overhead Allocated to Testing Department = No of Hours * Rate

                      = 6000  * $ 140 = $ 840,000

b. Overhead Rate of  Assembly Department = Factory Overhead / Machine Hours= 360,000/3,000 hours = $ 120 per machine hour

                     

Overhead Rate of  Testing Department=   Factory Overhead / Machine Hours=  900,000/ 6000 hours=  $ 150 per unit per machine hour.

Overhead Allocated

                                         Commercial              Residential

Assembly Department       1.4 *120                   1.1 dmh *120

                                               168                          132

Testing Department             2.8*150                    2.2*150

<u>                                                420                             330                    </u>

<u>Total Overhead per Unit     $ 588                       $  462              </u>

c. ABC approach is better as it gives an estimate of the overhead per unit both for the Commercial and Residential department using the assembly and testing overheads rates separately. The single plant wide rate gives a mere estimate of the overall costs.

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

D) the company does not have a legal obligation to pay dividends when promised.

Explanation:

No corporation has a legal obligation to distribute dividends to common stock shareholders, even if they make a lot of money, or they have a lot of cash available. The only thing shareholders can do to change a corporation's dividend distribution policy is to elect a new board of directors.

In Mirembe's case I doubt that she has enough money for to board to pay attention to her. If Mirembe really needs an annual return, then she should invest her money in bonds.

yuradex [85]

Question

The question is incomplete, hence the tutor added a piece of information

The Corporation applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine-hours. The predetermined overhead rate is $14 per machine-hour. What amount would be

Assuming the actual machine hours worked is 3,500

<em>Note the actual machine was added by the tutor</em>

Answer:

Applied overhead =$49,000

Explanation:

<em>Overheads are charged to units produced by the means of an estimated overhead absorption rate. This rate is computed using budgeted overhead and budgeted activity level.  </em>

<em>Pre-determined overhead absorption rate (POAR) = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted machine hours</em>

The POAR is given as $14 per machine hour

Applied (absorbed) overhead = POAR × Actual machine hours

Applied overhead = $14 ×  3,500 =$49000

Applied overhead =$49,000

Suppose the U.S offered a tax credit for firms that built new factories in the U.S. Then __________a The demand for loanable fun
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

When the united states offered a tax credit to the firms that built the new factories then this will increase the demand for loanable funds because every firm wants to built a new factory, so that they are eligible for the tax credit given by the U.S.

This increase in the demand for loanable funds at the ongoing interest rate would shift the demand curve of loanable funds rightwards and this economy is experiencing a situation where the demand of loanable funds is greater than the supply. This will create a shortage of loanable funds.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

7.74%

Explanation:

The yield to call would be the internal rate of return considering the cahsflow until the bodn is called. W can solve for that using excel IRR function;

We list the cashflow in order.

F0 -1180

F1 105

F2 105

F3 105

F4 105

F5 1205 (105 coupon payment plus 1100 principal)

We now write the function and get the YTC
