Answer:

Variable cost per mile = 0.22 per mile

Total fixed cost = $312

Explanation:

If she drives 2,900 miles then,

Total operating cost = $950

If she drives 4,000 miles then,

Total operating cost = $1,192

Using high low method,

variable cost per mile:

=\frac{(1,192-950)}{(4,000-2,900)}

=\frac{242}{1,100}

= 0.22 per mile

Hence,

Total fixed cost = 1,192 - (4,000 × 0.22)

                          = 1,192 - 880

                          = $312

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

e. Joint products: products made from common raw materials and shared production processes.

f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.

g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.

LO 4.6Why is the manufacturing overhead account debited as expenses are recognized and then credited when overhead is applied?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead records all the expenses like salaries payable which come under indirect labor. Manufacturing overhead includes all those indirect costs which are related to the factory-like - factory rent, factory repairs, depreciation on factory equipment, property taxes

For recognized expense, the journal entry would be

Factory overhead A.c Dr

        To Expenses A/c  

(Being expense recognized)

Since the cost is actually incurred so this above entry should be made

And, the journal entry for applied overhead is shown below

Work in progress inventory A/c Dr XXXXX

      To Factory overhead A/c XXXXX

(Being overhead applied is recorded)

Since applied overhead is based on predetermined overhead rate so we credit the factory overhead and debit the work in progress inventory

2,000,000 - 333,33 = 1,666,667

Last, the new percentage of ownership

5,000 stock / 1,666,667 = 0.02999 = 0.30%
