Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production:

Estimated inventory (units), August 1 12,000

Desired inventory (units), August 31 2,000

Expected sales volume (units), August 75,000

For each unit produced, the direct materials requirements are as follows:

Direct material A ($5 per pound) 3Ibs

Direct material B ($15 per pound) 1/2 Ib

First, we need to determine the number of pounds required.

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 75,000 + 2,000 - 12,000= 65,000 units

Purchases in pounds:

Direct material A= 65,000*3= 195,000

Direct material B= 65,000*0.5= 32,500

Total pounds= 227,500

Now, the cost of direct material:

Direct material cost:

Direct material A= 195,000*5= $975,000

Direct material B= 32,500*15= $487,500

Total= $1,462,500

Exercise 2-10 Applying Overhead Cost to a Job [LO2-2] Sigma Corporation applies overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct lab

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

See explanations below.

Explanation:

1. Yes. Overhead should be applied to job W at year-end. Overhead is applied to every jobs whether or not they are completed at year end.

b. To calculate the amount of overhead to be applied to job W, we need to calculate first the overhead application rate based on direct labor cost through job V.

Direct labor cost. $8,000

Overhead applied $6,000

Overhead rate = [ Overhead applied / Direct labor cost ] × 100

= [6,000/8,000] × 100

= 75%

Overhead to be applied to job W

Direct labor cost $4,000

Overhead rate 75%

Overhead to be applied = $3,000

It therefore means that $3,000 should be applied to job W.

2. Because job W was not completed at the year end, it would then be included in the work in process inventory in the financial statements of Sigma Corporation at year end.

How did speculative investing weaken the stability of the stock market?

tiny-mole [99]

Heavy speculation is a bad idea in any market since it has a tendency to inflate prices to unrealistic levels. That is basically what many investors prior to the Great Depression did when they thought the market would keep going higher and higher. They borrowed money, sold their houses, etc.. to buy into the stock market thanks to that kind of speculation without even considering the underlying reasons for why the market is there in the first place.
