The period manufacturing costs of a company is comprised of $2,000,000 in direct materials, $1,000,000 in direct labor, and $500
shutvik [7]

Answer:

The Direct material cost per unit is = 285.714 per unit

The  Direct labor per unit is= 142.857 per unit

The Overhead cost per unit is  = 71.4285 per unit

Explanation:

Solution

We recall that:

The total direct material= $2000000

The total direct labor= $1000000

The units in products = 7000 units

The total Overheads= $500000

Now,

The direct materials on machinery is = $ 800,000(40%)

The direct labor on machinery  is= $ 600,000(60 %)

The machinery on overheard  is = $ 250,000(50 %)

The direct materials on assembly is  = $ 1200,000

The Direct labor on assembly is  = $ 400,000

The Overhead on assembly  is = $ 250,000

Thus,

The hybrid manufacturing cost statement is represented or shown below

Particular   Machinery (40%)in $     Assembly (60%)in $  Total in $

Now,

Particular = Direct material,

Machinery (40%)in $  = 800000

Assembly 60% in $ = 1200000

Total in $ =2000000

Grand total = 1650000

Particular = labor

Machinery (40%)in $  = 600000

Assembly 60% in $  = 400000

Total in $ = 1000000

Grand total = 1850000

Particulars = Overhead

Machinery (40%)in $ =250000

Assembly 60% in $ = 250000

Total in $ = 500000

Grand total = 3500000

Thus,

The Direct material cost per unit = 2000000/7000 = 285.714 per unit

The  Direct labor per unit = 1000000/700 = 142.857 per unit

The Overhead cost per unit = 500000/7 = 71.4285 per unit

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Diversification for pooling risks

Explanation:

When a company wants to diversify it goes into various products in order to reach a larger market. This is the opposite of specialisation where the company focuses on one market or product.

When a company wants to diversify it will not be a good idea to do it because they want to pool risk.

Pooling of risk involves centralisation of process so that risk due to variability will be reduced.

Change Real income

Change in real income ($) = 30,720 - 30,000
