Rustafson Corporation

1. Computation of the activity rate for each activity cost pool:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Rate

Labor-related $6.50 per DLH

Machine-related $0.25 per MH

Machine setups $42 per setup

Production orders $36 per order

Product testing $24 per test

Packaging $15 per package

General factory $13.60 per DLH

2. Computation of the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead divided by total direct labor hours

= $358,800/8,000

= $44.85

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated Overhead Cost Expected Activity Activity Rate

Labor-related $ 52,000 8,000 direct labor-hours $6.50 (52,000/8,000)

Machine-related $ 15,000 20,000 machine-hours $0.25 ($15,000/20,000)

Machine setups $ 42,000 1,000 setups $42 ($42,000/1,000)

Production orders $ 18,000 500 orders $36 ($18,000/500)

Product testing $ 48,000 2,000 tests $24 ($48,000/2,000)

Packaging $ 75,000 5,000 packages $15 ($75,000/5,000)

General factory $ 108,800 8,000 direct labor-hours $13.60 ($108,800/8,000)

Total overhead = $358,800

Total direct labor hours = 8,000 DLH

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead divided by total direct labor hours

= $358,800/8,000

= $44.85

mr Goodwill [35]

A group becomes a team when C. accountability shifts from strictly individual to both individual and collective.

All of the choices can be used to identify a team over a group but when the accountability shifts from one person to both the individual and group. A team is when a group of people work together and effectively finish their tasks. Working as a team helps build moral but also make sure that everyone is an active participant in the task.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Finished goods inventory final balance= 12, 495

Explanation:

PRODUCTION COST COMPONENTS

Direct materials 12,385
Direct work 10,600
Lease and utilities 9,600

TOTAL PRODUCTION COST = 32,585

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED = 6,650

UNIT COST= (Total Production Cost / Total Units Produced) = 32,585 / 6,650 = 4.9

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY = (Total Units Produced – Total Units Sales) = 6,650 – 4,100 = 2,250

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY AMOUNT = (Final goods Inventory * Unit Cost) = 2,250 * 4.9 = 12,495
