Answer:

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4

VladimirAG [237]

Answer and explanation:

Althea is covered by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (<em>EEOC</em>). The EEOC is an agency of the federal government of the United States that enforces federal laws regarding discrimination of <em>race, sex, age, religion, ethnicity, national origin or impairment</em>. Althea was fired with the excuse that it is not "appropriate" for an African American deejay to play music on a white Christian music station. This is reason enough to sue the radio station for discrimination.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

For each situation, identify the possible root cause or causes of activity cost, among these:

1. Plant Layout

2. Process design

3. Product design

(A) PROCESS DESIGN

The design of the process of production is the root cause of activity cost here. From the rates given, it's clear that the manual method of production costs more time and money than the mechanical production method.

A minor cause of activity cost here is the PRODUCT DESIGN; the cost of which varies with the use of labour and the use of machine.

(B) PRODUCT DESIGN

Change in design of the gear (removal of some component parts) reduces set up time and cost.

(C) PLANT LAYOUT

Redesign of manufacturing plant saves the time and cost of moves.
