Answer:

a) Price Relative for Halibut is 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster is 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna is 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

Explanation:

a) The Price Relative for a good refers to it's current price divided by it's base price times 100. It therefore measures a change in price across different periods.

Writing the formula as stated is,

Price Relative = Current Price / Base Price * 100

Price Relative for Halibut = 2.33/2.01 * 100

= 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster = 3.09/3.62 * 100

= 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna = 1.97/1.87 * 100

= 105.35

= 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index enables us to see how prices in a particular basket has changed over a period of time. It is calculated as follows,

Weighted Price Index = (Sum of Weighted Current Price ) / ( Sum of weighted Base Price) * 100

Sum of Weighted Current Price = (75,190 * 2.33) + (83,080 * 3.09) + ( 50,779 * 1.97)

= 538,124.53

Sum of Weighted Base Price = (75,190 * 2.01) + (83,080 * 3.62) + ( 50,779 * 1.87)

= 546,838.23

Weighted Price Index = (538,124.53 / 546,838.23) *100

= 98.4

The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1. Overhead rate = Overhead costs / Direct material costs

Overhead rate = $684,000 / $1,900,000

Overhead rate = 0.36

Overhead rate = 36%

2. How much direct labor cost and overhead cost are assigned to this job?

Total cost of job in process                      $71,000

Less: Overhead applied                            $7,920

          ($22,000 * 36%)

Less: Material cost of job in process        <u>$22,000</u>

Direct labor cost                                        <u>$41,080</u>

Hence, direct labor cost is $41,080 and Overhead cost is $7,920
