Direct Method, Reciprocal Method, Overhead Rates Macalister Corporation is developing departmental overhead rates based on direc

t labor hours for its two production departments—Molding and Assembly. The Molding Department employs 19 people, and the Assembly Department employs 77 people. Each person in these two departments works 2,180 hours per year. The production-related overhead costs for the Molding Department are budgeted at $196,000, and the Assembly Department costs are budgeted at $81,000. Two support departments—Engineering and General Factory—directly support the two production departments and have budgeted costs of $204,000 and $411,000, respectively. The production departments’ overhead rates cannot be determined until the support departments’ costs are properly allocated. The following schedule reflects the use of the Engineering Department’s and General Factory Department’s output by the various departments. Engineering General Factory Molding Assembly Engineering hours — 1,900 2,100 7,900 Square feet 116,340 — 365,640 72,020 For all requirements, round allocation ratios to four significant digits and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar. Required: 1. Calculate the overhead rates per direct labor hour for the Molding Department and the Assembly Department using the direct allocation method to charge the production departments for support department costs. Round final answers to the nearest cent. Overhead rate per DLH Molding $ 14.06 Assembly $

The major advantage of reciprocal method is that it fully takes into account the interdepartmental services        

and is therefore considered a more accurate method than direct and step method for departmental cost allocation.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the firm's ROE is 20%

Explanation:

The tax burden is 0.9

The interest burden is 0.6

The return on sales margin is 13%

The turnover ratio is 2.62

The leverage ratio is 1.1

Calculate the ROE

ROE = 0.9 * 0.6 * 0.13 * 2.62 * 1.1

=0.2 or 20%

Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

<u>Desing A:   </u>23,024,370‬

<u>Desing B:   </u>22,520,274.6

It should purchase desing B as the capitalized cost is lower.

Explanation:

We consider annuity for the overhauls and then, perpetuity to consider this incinerators will last indefinitely.

maintenance cost: 800,000 / 0.05 = 16,000,000

<u>Overhaul: </u>

The company will need to fund 1,250,000 every 5 years. We need to determinate the annuity to obtain this future value:

FV \div \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = C\\

PV 1,250,000

time 5

rate 0.05

1250000 \div \frac{(1+0.05)^{5} -1}{0.05} = C\\

C  $  $ 226,218.498

<u>Then at perpetuity:</u>

$ 226,218.498  / 0.05 = 4,524,370

<u>Desing A capitalized cost:</u>

2,500,000 + 16,000,000 + 4,524,370 = 23,024,370‬

We do the same for Desing B:

investment: 5,750,000

maintenance: 600,000 / 0.05 = 12,000,000

overhaul:

3000000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.05)^{-10} }{0.05} = C\\

C  $ 238,513.725

238,513.73/0.05 =  4,770,274.6

Capitalized cost: 5,750,000 + 12,000,000 + 4,770,274.6 = 22,520,274.6‬

Enok, a prospective franchise owner, is looking to keep his monthly costs as low as possible. The franchisor he is checking out
Reika [66]

Answer:

(3) $3,750,000

Explanation:

The computation of the expect monthly sales to be as high is shown below:

Given that

Sales per month = $300,000

Royalty payments = 8% of sales

So, the expected monthly sales would be

= Sales per month ÷ Royalty payments percentage

= $300,000 ÷ 8%

= $3,750,000

We simply divided the sales per month by the royalty payment percentage i.e 8%
