Leokris [45]

Answer:

A. $0.1 per can

B. $3,315

C. 0.098 per packaged can

Explanation:

a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.

Using this formula

Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000

Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can

Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can

b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =

Using this formula

Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged

Let plug in the formula

Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000

Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle

Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost

Using this formula

Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle

Let plug in the formula

Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017

Total packaging cost= $113,815

Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.

Using this formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500

Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315

Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315

c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements

First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula

Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost

Let plug in the formula

Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815

Total activity cost == $653,315

Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can

Using this formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles

Let plug in the formula

Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000

Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can

Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can

den301095 [7]

Answer:

$8,400

The computation of the total amount of the cash dividend is shown below:

= Outstanding number of shares × cash dividend per share

= 10,500 outstanding shares × $0.80

= $8,400

The cash dividend is computed only on outstanding shares i.e issues shares minus treasury shares

So, it will not be computed on authorized shares either on issued shares
