Wilder Company manufactures two models of its banjo, the Basic and the Luxury. The Basic model requires 10,000 direct labor hour
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The inspecting costs should be allocated to the Basic model using ABC costing is $30,600

Explanation:

The computation of the inspecting cost is shown below:

= Total number of basic model inspection + the total number of inspection

where,

Total number of basic model inspection equals to

= Number of units produced ÷ every units produced

= 3,400 units ÷ 100

= $34

And, the total number of inspection equals to

= Total inspection cost ÷ number of inspection

= $84,600 ÷ $94

= 900

The number of inspection includes

= total number of basic model inspection + the total number of luxury model inspection

= $34 + $60 (600 units ÷ 10)

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= 900 × $34

= $30,600

Hot Shot Delivery Inc. provides the following year end data:
damaskus [11]

Answer:

c. 42.6%

Explanation:

Average total assets = $410,000+$257,000/2

Average total assets = $667,000

Average total assets = $333,500

Net income = $112,000

Interest expenses = $30,000

Return on total assets = Net income + Interest expenses / Average total assets

Return on total assets = $112,000 + $30,000 / $333,500

Return on total assets = 0.42388060

Return on total assets = 42.39%
