Answer:

Inflation rates for Canada = 3.3%

Inflation rates for Mexico = 9.1%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For Canada

CPI in 2014 = 120

CPI in 2015 = 124

For Mexico

CPI in 2014 = 210

CPI in 2015 = 229.1

Now,

The inflation  = [( Current CPI - Base year CPI) ÷ Base year CPI ] × 100%

Therefore,

For Canada

Inflation = [ (124 - 120 ) ÷ 120 ] × 100%

= 3.3%

For Mexico

Inflation = [ (229.1 - 210 ) ÷ 210 ] × 100%

= 9.1%

Explanation:

Machine hours is used to measure factory overhead as against the goods produced. This method is usually applied in production environment using machine, and where the most activities are done by machines.  On the other hand direct labor is used when the production of goods and services is done by human hands, and not machines. While Machine hours is the appropriate overhead allocation rate for Department A, Direct Labor hours will be appropriate for Department B. Hence Batches will be appropriate for Department C.

Given the following data, calculate the total product cost per unit under variable costing. Direct labor $ 3.50 per unit Direct
labwork [276]

Answer:

$7.05

Explanation:

Given that

Direct labor = $3.50 per unit

Direct material = $1.25 per unit

Variable overhead = $41,400

Total fixed overhead = $150,000

Produced units = 18,000

The computation of total product cost per unit under variable costing is shown below:-

Total Variable overhead = Variable overhead ÷ Produced units

= $41,400 ÷ $18,000

= $2.3

Total product cost per unit = Direct labor + Direct material + Total variable overhead

= $3.50 + $1.25 + $2.3

= $7.05

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Maximum price= $11.9

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assuming a production level of 6,300 ​units:

Direct materials $ 4.20

Direct labor $ 4.30

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 3.40

The fixed overhead costs are unavoidable

Because the fixed overhead costs are unavoidable, we will concentrate on the variable costs.

The maximum price would be the total variable cost:

Total variable cost= 4.2 + 4.3 + 3.4= $11.9

Maximum price= $11.9
