Answer:

Total Activity Cost = $238,750

Activity Cost per unit = $477.50/unit

Explanation:

Activity Rate for each Activity of Company Southeastern Papers:

Production = $220,000 / 1,100 mh = $200/mh

Setup = $117,000 / 260 setups = $450/setup

Moving = $21,000 / 600 moves = $35/move

Shipping = $105,000 / 1,000 customer orders = $105/customer order

Product Engineering = $102,000 / 170 test runs = $600/test run

Computer Paper Total Activity Cost and Activity Per Unit Cost:

Production = 400 mh x $200 per mh = $80,000

Setup = 80 setups x $450 per setup = $36,000

Moving = 230 moves x $35 per move = $8,050

Shipping = 310 customer order x $105 per customer order = $32,550

Product Engineering = 50 test run x $600 per test run = $30,000

Total Activity Cost = $80,000 + $36,000 + $8,050 + $32,550 + $30,000 = $186,600

Activity Cost Per Unit = $186,600 / 1,000 units = $186.60/unit

Newsprint Total Activity Cost and Activity Per Unit Cost:

Production = 500 mh x $200 per mh = $100,000

Setup = 30 setups x $450 per setup = $13,500

Moving = 70 moves x $35 per move = $2,450

Shipping = 140 customer order x $105 per customer order = $15,225

Product Engineering = 15 test run x $600 per test run = $9,000

Total Activity Cost = $100,000 + $13,500 + $2,450 + $15,225 + $9,000 = $140,175

Activity Cost Per Unit = $140,175 / 1,250 units = $112.14/unit

Specialty Paper Total Activity Cost and Activity Per Unit Cost:

Production = 200 mh x $200 per mh = $40,000

Setup = 150 setups x $450 per setup = $67,500

Moving = 300 moves x $35 per move = $10,500

Shipping = 550 customer order x $105 per customer order = $57,750

Product Engineering = 105 test run x $600 per test run = $63,000

Total Activity Cost = $40,000 + $67,500 + $10,500 + $57,750 + $63,000 = $238,750

Activity Cost Per Unit = $238,750 / 500 units = $477.50/unit

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98
