Blast it! said David Wilson, president of Teledex Company. "We’ve just lost the bid on the Koopers job by $4,000. It seems we’re

either too high to get the job or too low to make any money on half the jobs we bid."
Teledex Company manufactures products to customers’ specifications and uses a job-order costing system. The company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply its manufacturing overhead (assumed to be all fixed) to jobs. The following estimates were made at the beginning of the year:
Department
Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant
Direct labor $215,000 $107,500 $322,500 $645,000
Manufacturing
overhead $376,250 $430,000 $96,750 $903,000
Jobs require varying amounts of work in the three departments. The Koopers job, for example, would have required manufacturing costs in the three departments as follows:
Department
Fabricating Machining Assembly Total Plant
Direct materials $4,500 $500 $2,900 $7,900
Direct labor $5,800 $800 $7,700 $14,300
Manufacturing overhead ? ? ? ?
The company uses plant-wide overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead cost to jobs.
Required:
1. Assuming use of a plant-wide overhead rate:
A. Compute the rate for the current year.
B. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job.
2. Suppose that instead of using a plant-wide overhead rate, the company had used a separate predetermined overhead rate in each department. Under these conditions:
A. Compute the rate for each department for the current year.
B. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job.
3. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs at 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead).
A. What was the company's bid price on the Koopers job if a plant-wide overhead rate had been used to apply overhead cost?
B. What would the bid price have been if departmental overhead rates had been used to apply overhead cost?
4. At the end of the year, the company assembled the following actual cost data relating to all jobs worked on during the year.
Department
Fabricating Machining Assemble Total Plant
Direct materials $205,000 $17,500 $129,000 $351,500
Direct labor 225,000 123,000 277,000 625,000
Manufacturing
overhead $387,000 $463,000 $86,400 $936,400

Answer:

1. Assuming use of a plant-wide overhead rate:

A. Compute the rate for the current year.

  • = $903,000 / $645,000 = $1.40 per $ of direct labor cost

B. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job.

  • = $14,300 x 1.4 = $20,020

2. Suppose that instead of using a plant-wide overhead rate, the company had used a separate predetermined overhead rate in each department. Under these conditions:

A. Compute the rate for each department for the current year.

  • fabricating = $376,250 / $215,000 = $1.75 per $ of direct labor cost
  • machining = $430,000 / $107,500 = $4 per $ of direct labor cost
  • assembly = $96,750 / $322,500 = $0.30 per $ of direct labor cost

B. Determine the amount of manufacturing overhead cost that would have been applied to the Koopers job.

  • fabricating = $5,800 x 1.75 = $10,150
  • machining = $800 x $4 = $3,200
  • assembly = $7,700 x $0.30 = $2,310
  • total = $15,660

3. Assume that it is customary in the industry to bid jobs at 150% of total manufacturing cost (direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead).

A. What was the company's bid price on the Koopers job if a plant-wide overhead rate had been used to apply overhead cost?

  • total production costs = $7,900 + $14,300 + $20,020 = $42,220
  • bid price = $42,220 x 1.5 = $63,330

B. What would the bid price have been if departmental overhead rates had been used to apply overhead cost?

  • total production costs = $7,900 + $14,300 + $15,660 = $37,860
  • bid price = $37,860 x 1.5 = $56,790

4. There are no requirements for question 4.

Mary’s hourly wage is twice that of John’s. John’s and Dennis’ hourly wages together total $60. If Dennis earns 1/3 of John’s ra
kolezko [41]

Answer: $90

Explanation: This problem can be solved by using following equation :-

Let John's hourly wage rate be J, Mary's hourly wage rate be M and Dennis hourly wage rate be D, therefore :-

Mary's rate will be :-

M = 2J............equation 1

AND,

J + D = $60 ..... equation 2

Similarly,

D = 1/3J

Now,putting the value of D in equation 2 we get,

J + 1/3J = $60

J  = $45

Putting the values of J in equation equation 1 we get,

M = 2 * $45

   = $90

So, Mary's hourly wage rate is $90

When starting a business, more women choose ________ industries that tend to have lower average sales levels.
Zarrin [17]

When starting a business, more women choose service industries that tend to have lower average sales levels. Those industries that do not directly produce tangible things are known as service industries (such as agriculture and manufacturing).  The supply chain is the process through which items generated in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors are delivered to final customers.

Some service industries involved in this process include transportation, wholesale trade, and retail trade. Others are offered straight to customers. These include public administration, health care, education, information services, legal services, and financial services. Everything else falls under the category of service industries, which also includes banking, communications.

Accounting professors earn more than English professors at most universities. Explain this with a supply and demand graph.
GenaCL600 [577]
I will assume here (since I don't have more information) that each school needs one English and one Accounting professor, but that more people are ready to teach English than accounting (this assumption might be wrong, but it's what  think)

therefore the supply is bigger for the English professors than for the Accounting professors -this means that the accounting professors can ask for bigger salary (the bigger the supply, the smaller the prize)
