Answer:

500,000÷ 200,000 = 2.5

Explanation:

inventory turnover is calculated as

cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

From the information of Baxter department store's financial statement, cost of goods sold can be calculated as

Opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory

100,000 + 700,000 - 300,000 = 500,000

cost of goods sold = 500,000

Average stock is calculated as opening inventory + closing inventory ÷ 2

100,000 + 300,000 ÷ 2 = 200,000

Average inventory = 200,000

Therefore inventory turnover = 500,000÷ 200,000 = 2.5

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Unitary cost= $765.38

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company makes 430 units of product D28K a year, requiring a total of 690 machine-hours, 40 orders, and 10 inspection-hours per year.

The product's direct materials cost is $35.82 per unit and its direct labor cost is $29.56 per unit.

Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

We don't have enough information to allocate overhead.

Assuming the overhead gets allocated based on machine hours, I will invent an overhead rate and cost to allocate.

Estimated overhead= 300,000

Machine hours= 690

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 300,000/690= $434.78 per machine hour

A unit uses:

690/430= 1.61 machine hours

Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Unitary cost= 35.82 + 29.56 + (1.61*434.78)= $765.38

It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;

✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.

✓There is a lack of standardization.

✓There is difficulty in accumulating
