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.

Kryger [21]
<span>In the first hundred days of his presidency, FDR knew that he would have to provide relief to the U.S. citizens, create jobs and stimulate the economy. His first step was to bring back the peoples confidence in banks. Next, he had to help local relief agencies. He convinced congress to establish the Federal Emergency Relief Agency which sent funds to agencies. The FERA put money into public work programs to support people who were out of work. FDR also established the Civilian Conservation Corps which help put men to work on cleaning up national parks.</span>

Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A. $2.40 per Machine hour

B. Underapplied = $10,000

C. cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000 , overheads (credit) $10,000

Explanation:

A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year

Overhead Rate = Total  Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity

                         =   $300,000 / 125,000 Machine hours

                         =   $2.40 per Machine hour.

B) What is the amount of under- or over applied overhead at December 31st?

Under Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads

Over Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads

Actual Overheads = $322,000

Applied Overheads = $2.40 × 130,000 hours = $ 312,000

Underapplied = $10,000

C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.

cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000

overheads (credit) $10,000

A company inserts winning prize tickets into 10,000,000 of its products. 1 of the tickets is a large cash prize, 1,600,000 are s
netineya [11]

Answer: Large Cash Prize is A. 0000001

Small Cash Prizes is B. 0.16

Free Samples is C. About 0.84

Explanation:

Large Cash Price

The probability of winning 1 large Cash price is 1 out of 10 million so that would be,

= 1/10,000,000

= 0.0000001 which is option A

Small Cash Prices

Probability of winning a Mall Cash price is 1,600,000 out of 10,000,000 which would be,

= 1,600,000/10,000,000

= 0.16 which is Option B

Free Samples

Winning free samples of the Company's products would be,

= 10,000,000 - 1,600,000 - 1

= 8,399,999

Now we divide by 10,000,000

= 8399999/10,000,000

= 0.83999

= 0.84 so option C
