Answer:
A. $0.1 per can
B. $3,315
C. 0.098 per packaged can
Explanation:
a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.
Using this formula
Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged
Let plug in the formula
Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000
Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can
Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can
b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =
Using this formula
Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged
Let plug in the formula
Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000
Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle
Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost
Using this formula
Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle
Let plug in the formula
Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017
Total packaging cost= $113,815
Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
Using this formula
Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost
Let plug in the formula
Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500
Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315
Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315
c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements
First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula
Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost
Let plug in the formula
Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815
Total activity cost == $653,315
Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can
Using this formula
Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles
Let plug in the formula
Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000
Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can
Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can
