Christmas Timber, Inc., produces Christmas trees. The trees are produced through a cutting and pruning process. Machine maintena

nce and janitorial labors are performed throughout the production process by nonproduction employees. Maintenance and janitorial costs are allocated based on machine hours used and the number of trees in each department, respectively. The company estimates that the cutting and pruning areas typically have about 6 and 54 trees, respectively, in them at 1 time. The company also estimates that the cutting process requires about 9 times as many machine hours as the pruning process. The total costs of each department are as follows:
Maintenance Department $7,800
Janitorial Department 5,000
Cutting Department 54,500
Pruning Department 11,000

Using the direct method of support department cost allocation, determine the total cost of each production department after allocating all support costs to the production departments.

Answer:

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

Explanation:

<em>The direct method does not consider the impact of reciprocal servicing arrangement when allocating the overhead  of service centers and only allocates overhead to the production cost centers only.</em>

Allocation of Overhead

Janitorial overhead

Cutting = 6/(6+54)×   $5,000 = $500

Pruning =54/(6+54) ×  $5,000= $4,500

Maintenance overhead

Cutting = 9/(9+1)×   $7,800 = $7020

Pruning =1/(9+1) ×  $7,800= $780

Total cost of production department

Cutting = 54,500 + 500 + 7020= 62,020

Pruning department = 11,000 + 4,500 + 780 = 16,280

Cutting = $62,020

Pruning = $16,280

20. Which of the following is not a difference between monopolies and perfectly competitive markets? a. Monopolies can earn prof
Naily [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market has a large number of buyers and sellers. The firms are price takers and the price is determined by the market forces. Thus the monopoly firms face a horizontal demand curve. This horizontal line represents price, average revenue, and marginal revenue. The equilibrium is obtained where price, (average revenue and marginal revenue) is equal to marginal cost. There is no restriction on entry and exit of firms in the long run. That's why firms face a break-even in the long run.  

While in a monopoly market there is a single firm. This firm fixes price higher than marginal cost. The demand curve of the monopoly is a downward sloping showing relatively elastic demand. A monopoly firm can earn profits in both the short run as well as the long run.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Manson will incur a loss of $10,300 by buying the part.

Explanation:

Purchases = 10,300 * $6 = $61,800

Variable cost = 10,300 * $5 = $51,500

Fixed cost = 10,300 * $3 = $30,900

Analysis:

<u>Details               Make ($)           Buy ($)         Net ($) </u>

Purchase                  0                  61,800          61,800

Variable              51,500                   0              51,500

Fixed                  30,900              30,900        <u>     0    </u>

Loss                                                                  <u> 10,300   </u>

Therefore, Manson will incur a loss of $10,300 by buying the part.

Explanation:

Eclypso Company

                                        Product X        Product Y

Unit selling price               $10.00               $10.00

Less

Unit variable costs:

Manufacturing                     $ 6.00            $ 7.00

Selling                                   1.00                 1.00

Total variable costs              $ 7.00            $ 8.00

Contribution Margin per unit  3                   2          

Monthly fixed costs are as follows:

Manufacturing                               $ 90,000

Selling and administrative             50,000

Total fixed costs                           $140,000

Weighted Contribution Margin per unit =  ($3 *  80% + $ 2 * 20%)= 2.4+ 0.4=              

                                                                                $ 2.8

Combined Break Even Volume = Fixed Costs/ Weighted Contribution Margin Per unit

Combined Break Even Volume = $ 140,000/ 2.8=50,000
