Answer:

Mexico's speciality is the manufacture of high-end vehicles and it exports those. They then import low-end vehicles that are usually manufactured at a low cost in other places.

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Annual demand (D) = 20000 units

Number of days per year = 250

Demand rate(d) = D/number of days per year = 20000/250 = 80 units

Production rate(p) = 655 units

Set up cost(S) = $1800

Holding cost (H) = $1.50

A) Optimum run size(Q) = sqrt of {2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}

= sqrt of {(2x20000x1800) /1.50[1-(80/655)]}

= Sqrt of [7200000/1.50(1-0.1221) ]

= sqrt of [72000000/(1.50 x 0.8779)]

= sqrt of (7200000/1.31685)

= Sqrt of 5467593.1199

= 2338 units

b) Maximum inventory ( I - max) = (Q/p) (p-d) = (2338/655)(655-80) = 3.5695 x 575 = 2052.46 or rounded off to 2052 units

Average inventory = I-max/2 = 2052/2 = 1026 units

C) Number of production setups per year = D/Q = 20000/2338 = 8.55 or rounded up to 6

d) optimal length of production run  = optimal run size /production rate = 2338/655 = 3.56 or rounded up to 4 days

Wildhorse Taxi Service uses the units-of-activity method in computing depreciation on its taxicabs. Each cab is expected to be d
9966 [12]

Answer:

depreciation expense 2021 = $6,200

depreciation expense 2022 = $6,700

Explanation:

depreciable value = $29,000 - $200 = $28,800

depreciation expense per mile driven = $28,800 / 144,000 = $0.20

number of miles driven during 2021 = 31,000

depreciation expense 2021 = 31,000 x $0.20 = $6,200

number of miles driven during 2020 = 33,500

depreciation expense 2022 = 33,500 x $0.20 = $6,700

Sanborn Industries has the following overhead costs and cost drivers. Direct labor hours are estimated at 100,000 for the year.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

d) 34.17

Explanation:

we must first calculate the total overhead expenses = $120,000 (ordering and receiving) + $297,000 (machine setup) + $1,500,000 (machining) + $1,200,000 (assembly parts) + $300,000 (inspection) = $3,417,000

since overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, then the predetermined overhead rate = total overhead expenses / total direct labor hours = $3,417,000 / 100,000 labor hours = $34.17 per labor hour

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Number of units that must be sold to earn the target profit is 3000 units.

The contribution margin ratio is 0.70

Explanation:

We will use the break even analysis modified for target profit to calculate the number of units needed to earn the desired

The break even point in units is calculated by dividing the fixed cost by the contribution margin per unit. To calculate the number of units required to earn the desired profit, we add the desired profit to fixed cost and divide it by the contribution margin per unit.

Contribution margin per unit = 250 - 75  =  $175

Number of units required to earn target profit = (325000 + 200000) / 175

Number of units required to earn target profit = 3000 units

The contribution margin ratio is = 175 / 250   =  0.7 or 70%

Dollar Sales required to earn target profit = $4,812,500
