tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

2040.

Explanation:

To reach the total manufacturing cost we need to calculate machining and assembling overhead rate first, in order to calculate the rate we need to divide manufacturing overhead cost on number of hours

Machining OH rate = 280000 / 50000 = 5.60  

Assembling OH rate = 360000/40000 = 9.00

 

manufacturing cost:    

                    machine Assembly Total  

Material  425                175             600  

labor               275                300             575  

Overhead                                                 865  

(50*5.60)       280

Darya [45]

Answer:

Part 1

D.E = $5,300

Part 2

a. Book Value = $61,900

b. Book Value = $122,500

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Cost of Buildings

<em>Separate the Cost of Land and the Cost of Building from the Purchase Price</em>

<u>Calculation of the Cost of Building</u>

Purchase Price ($175,000 x 30%)   $52,500

Building Renovations                      $20,000

Total                                                  $72,500

Step 2 : Depreciation calculation

<em>Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life</em>

                                      = ($72,500 - $19,500) ÷ 10

                                      = $5,300

After Year 2

<u>Buildings :</u>

Accumulated Depreciation = $10,600

Book Value = $72,500 - $10,600 = $61,900

<u>Land </u>

Book Value = $175,000 x 70% = $122,500

Note : Land is not depreciated
