Answer:

Month 1 = 5.3 Days

Month 2 = 4.9 Days

Month 3 = 3.9 days

Month 4 = 4.5 Days

Explanation:

The computation of throughput time for each month is shown below:-

Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time

Month 1 = 0.7 Days + 0.6 Days + 0.6 Days + 3.4 Days

= 5.3 Days

Month 2 = 0.7 Days + 0.6 Days + 0.5 Days + 3.1 Days

= 4.9 Days

Month 3 = 0.7 Days + 0.4 Days + 0.4 Days + 2.4 Days

= 3.9 days

Month 4 = 0.4 Days + 0.6 Days + 0.8 Days + 1.7 Days

= 4.5 Days

Therefore for computing the throughput time for each month we simply applied the above formula.

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as a.period costs
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as Product costs and expenses when the goods are sold, Option D.

Explanation:

Indirect costs are also manufacturing overheads which cannot be directly put on the product but they have to be allocated in some way. So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.

Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.

Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$9,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the total fixed overhead variance is shown below:

= Actual fixed overhead costs - Budgeted fixed overhead

where,

Budgeted fixed overhead  is $360,000

And, the Actual fixed overhead cost is computed below:

= Actual fixed overhead × Actual production  ÷ budgeted production

= $360,000 × 11,700 units ÷ 12,000 units

= $351,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $351,000 - $360,000

= $9,000 unfavorable

stich3 [128]

Bear in mind that when given a series of cashflows, the expected return is the Internal Rate of Return (IRR).

Initial investment = $32

First cashflow = $1.25

Second cashflow = $1.31

Third cashflow = $1.38 + $65 selling price = $66.38

IRR = 29.93%
