Answer:

b. 1,2,3,4

Explanation:

Lets first understand what relevant cost is? Relevant cost is any cost that influences the decision of a decision maker. Therefore, the first four items are relevant in the decision of whether to sell the X-547 or to further process it.

Explanation for each item is as follows:

1- Selling price of X-547:

The selling price is relevant because it will help to determine the revenue generated from selling X-547 at the split off point and which could also be used for comparative purposes, if suppose the decision of further processing is chosen.

2- Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene:

The variable cost of processing X-547 is indeed relevant too, because at this stage management is not in a position to take a decision until they explore the possibilities coming out of processing X-547, therefore, in order to come to a decision making position the management will need to know the variable cost of processing X-547, making it relevant in the decision.

3- The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene:

There is sometimes a fear (i.e fear of increase in step-fixed costs as a result of processing a product or fear of loss of control over costs) felt by the management when trying to process certain products for further development therefore those fixed costs which can be avoided during processing X-547 can also influence (i.e encourage) the decision of further processing X-547, making it relevant.

4- The selling price of Xylene:

The last but not the least, the selling price of Xylene. If the management finds that if X-547 is further processed into Xylene and it sells at a highly favorable/lucrative price, creating a huge margin for them then definitely they would be encouraged to taking the decision of further processing it.

Production estimates for August for Jay Company are as follows:
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

c.$1,080,000 for A; $648,000 for B

Explanation:

For computing the total direct material purchase first we have to find out the production units which are shown below:

As we know that

Production units = Ending inventory units + sales units - beginning inventory units

= 9,000 units + 75,000 units - 12,000 units

= 72,000 units

Now the total direct material purchase for Material A and Material B is

For Material A

= 72,000 units × 3 lbs × $5 per lb

= $1,080,000

For Material B

= 72,000 units × 0.5 lbs × $18 per lb

= $648,000

Therefore, the third option is correct

Kwik taxi service uses the units-of-activity method in computing depreciation on its taxicabs. Each cab is expected to be driven
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Explanation:

Depreciation cost :

2016: <u> expected useful life</u>

           Cost - salvage value       X    usage

= <u>140,000</u>

24,300-700

=5.93*28,000 = $166,101.69

2017:  <u>expected useful life</u>

           Cost - salvage value       X    usage

= <u>140,000</u>

24,300-700

=5.93*33,000 = $195,762.71

Depreciation Expense:

2016:<u> (cost-salvage value)*actual activity performed</u>

             total estimated useful life

= <u>(24,300-700)*28,000</u>

          140,000

=$4,720

2017: <u>(cost-salvage value)*actual activity performed</u>

             total estimated useful life

= <u>(24,300-700)*33,000</u>

          140,000

=$5,562.86
