The question is reproduced in the table below for clarity                        

                               Oven                                  Contribution

                         Hours Required                 Margin Per Unit

Muffins                        0.2                                           $4

Coffee Cakes        0.3                                        $5

Answer:

Total contribution margin = $ 60,000.00

Explanation:

<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in  such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>

Therefore Crane Company should alocate the oven hours to maximise the contribution per unit of oven hour. This is done as follows:

Step 1

<em>Calculate he contribution per oven hour and rank the product</em>

                                                                      cont/hr                   ranking

Muffin                        $4/0.2 hour =              20                     <em> 1st</em>

Coffee cakes                 $5/0.3 hour=        16.67                      2nd

<em>Because Muffin generates the highest contribution per hour of Oven, Crane should allocate all the resource to it</em>

Step 2

<em>Calculate the Total contribution from the production of Muffin</em>

Total contribution margin = 20 per her × 3000

                                        = $ 60,000.00

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Muffins

Contribution hours = 0.2

Margin per unit = $4

Coffee Cakes

Contribution hours = 0.3

Margin per unit = $5

Required margin per unit contribution hours, muffins = 4/0.2

= $ 20

Required margin per unit contribution hours, coffee cakes = 5/0.3

= $ 16.67

For the most profitable product, muffins = $ 20 per unit contribution hours.

At 3000 hours of oven contribution hours,

Contribution margin = $ 20 × 3000

= $ 60,000 per unit.

forsale [732]

Answer:

$33,600

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

But first we have to determined the following things

Depreciation rate

= 1 ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 0.1

It is double-declining so the rate is also double i.e. 0.20

Now in the first year, the depreciation expense is

= $40,000 × 0.20

= $8,000

Now in the second year, the depreciation is

= ($40,000 - $8,000) × 0.20

= $25,600

So, the accumulated depreciation at the end of 2019 is

= $8,000 + $25,600

= $33,600

Here the residual value is not relevant. hence, ignored it

Pepsi [2]

The Pre-determined Overhead rate is the rate Thomlin Company forecasted that the company would incur total overhead for the current year.

They forecasted total overhead of $11,597,000 with 164,000 total machine hours.

Since the rate is based on Machine Hours the rate would be,

= Total Forecasted Overhead / Total Forecasted Machine Hours

= 11,597,000 / 164,000

= 70.71

= $71

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Annual depreciation (year 1)= $1,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Buying price= $36,000.

Useful units= 300,000 units of product.

Salvage value= $6,000

During its first year, the machine produces 14,000 units of product.

To calculate the depreciation expense for the first year under the units of production method, we need to use the following formula:

Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in units]*units produced

Annual depreciation= [(36,000 - 6,000)/300,000]*14,000

Annual depreciation= 0.1*14,000= $1,400
