Answer:

Th answer is: A) Rent a car.

Explanation:

If the consumer rents the car he will spend $60 ($30 per day x 2 days) in rent and $240 (= $5 per hour x 48 hours) in used time. His total cost will be $300.

If the consumer buys a plane ticket he will spend $400 and $10 ($5 per hour x 2 hours) in used time. His total costs will be $410.

Since both marginal utilities are the same, we have to choose the alternative with the lowest possible cost; rent a car.

Job-Order Costing and Decision Making [LO2-1, LO2-2, LO2-3]
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

a. $21 per machine hours

b. $4,855          

Explanation:

a. The computation of the plantwide predetermined overhead rate is shown below:

Plantwide predetermined overhead rate is

= Variable overhead cost rate per machine hour + Fixed overhead cost rate per machine hour

= $2 + (fixed manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Estimated machine hours)

= $2 + ($4,275,000 ÷  225,000 machine hours)

= $2 + $19

= $21 per machine hour

b. Now the total manufacturing cost assigned is

Particulars                                      Amount

Direct material                               $1,702        

Direct labor                                $1,221

Variable manufacturing overhead $168

(84 × $2)

Total variable cost                        $3,091

Add:

Fixed manufacturing overhead

(84 × $21)                                $1,764

Total manufacturing cost assigned

to Job P90                                    $4,855
