Donovan's Fine Furnishings manufactures upscale custom furniture. Donovan's currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on di

rect labor hours to allocate its $1,290,000 of manufacturing overhead to individual jobs.​ However, Donna Cermak​, owner and​CEO, is considering refining the​ company's costing system by using departmental overhead rates.​ Currently, the Machining Department incurs $870,000 of manufacturing overhead while the Finishing Department incurs $420,000 of manufacturing overhead. Donna has identified machine hours​ (MH) as the primary manufacturing overhead cost driver in the Machining Department and direct labor​(DL) hours as the primary cost driver in the Finishing Department.
The Donovan's plant completed Jobs 450 and 455 on May 15. Both jobs incurred a total of 66 DL hours throughout the entire production process. Job 450 incurred 11 MH in the Machining Department and 55 DL hours in the Finishing Department​ (the other DL hour occurred in the Machining​Department). Job 455 incurred 44 MH in the Machining Department and 44 DL hours in the Finishing Department​ (the other two DL hours occurred in the Machining​Department).
Requirement 1. Compute the plantwide overhead rate assuming that Donovan's expects to incur 30,000 total DL hours during the year. First identify the​ formula, then compute the rate. ​(Round your answer to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

Requirement 2. Compute departmental overhead rates assuming that Donovan's
expects to incur 14,500 MH in the Machining Department and 17,500 DL hours in the Finishing Department during the year. First identify the​ formula, then compute the rate for each department.​(Round your answers to the nearest whole​dollar.)

Requirement 3. If Donovan's continues to use the plantwide overhead​ rate, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job​ 455? First identify the​ formula, then calculate the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be allocated to the jobs if the plantwide overhead rate is used.​(Round your answers to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

Requirement 4. If Donovan's uses departmental overhead​ rates, how much manufacturing overhead would be allocated to Job 450 and Job​ 455? Use the following table to calculate the amount of manufacturing overhead that would be allocated to the jobs if the departmental overhead rates are used. ​(Round your answers to the nearest whole​ dollar.)
Job 450
Job 455
Machining

Total overhead allocation
Requirement 5. Based on your answers to Requirements 3 and​ 4, does the plantwide overhead rate overcost or undercost either​ job? Explain. If Donovan's sells its furniture at​ 125% of​ cost, will its choice of allocation systems affect product​ pricing? Explain.
The single plantwide rate (overcosts/undercosts) Job 450 by $ __ and (overcosts/undercosts) Job 455 by $ ___.
Since Donovan's sets its sales price at​ 125% of​ cost, and the job cost is (affected/unaffected) by th eallocation system it uses, it sales price will (be affected/will not be affected) by the allocation system it uses.

Answer and Explanation:

1. The plant-wide overhead rate is:-

Plant-wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead ÷ Cost allocation base

= $1,290,000 ÷ 30,000

= $43

2. The departmental overhead rates is

For machining = Total departmental overhead ÷ Cost allocation bases

= $870,000 ÷ 14,500

= $60

For finishing = Total departmental overhead ÷ Cost allocation bases

= $420,000 ÷ 17,500

= $24

3. The manufacturing overhead is

For Job 450 = Plantwide overhead rate × Actual use of allocation base

= $43 × 66

= $2,838

For Job 455 = Plantwide overhead rate × Actual use of allocation base

= $43 × 66

= $2,838

4. The amount of manufacturing overhead is

For Job 450 = Machining + Finishing

= (60 × 11) + (24 × 55)

= $660 + $1,320

= $1,980

For Job 455 = Machining + Finishing

= (60 × 44) + (24 × 44)

= $2,640 + $1,056

= $3,696

5. The single plant-wide rate overcost Job 450 by ($2,838 - $1,980) $858 and under-costs Job 455 by ($2,838 - $3,696) $858

Therefore the job cost is affected and sales price would be unaffected

Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold: Periodic Inventory System with Sales Returns and Allowances
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

 73,450  COGS

Explanation:

From the beginning inventory we add up purchase and freight cost and subtract the return made to the suplier and discount and allowance granted.

This will be the total cost available for sale.

Then we subtract the ending inventory to get the COGS

  27,000 beginning inventory

+ 78,000 purchases

+      350 freight-in

-   3,900 return and allowance

<u>-   6,000 </u>discount  

 95,450   good available for sale

<u>- 22,000 </u>ending inventory

 73,450  COGS

The sales return impact the sales revenue not the COGS

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

b. inelastic

c. Yes - it decreased

Explanation:

Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

= -2/4 = -0.5

The absolute value is 0.5

If the absolute value of the coffiecnet of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded .

We can tell that the quantity demanded fell because of the negative sign in front of the percentage change in quantity demanded.

I hope my answer helps you

Cost of 1 can of coffee in US = $5

Cost of similar can of coffee in Belgium = EURO 7

Real Exchange Rate (Euro/$) =

Nominal Exchange rate × \frac{Price\ in\ domestic\ market}{Price\ in\ foreign\ market}

= 0.8 × 5/7

=4/7 cans of Belgium coffee per can of US coffee

Nominal exchange rate when adjusted for inflation is known as real exchange rate.

Real rate = Nominal rate - Inflation rate
