a.  Calculate the coefficient of variation for each alternative.  

A?  

B?  

C?

D?  

b.  If the firm wishes to minimize​ risk, which alternative do you​ recommend? ​ Why?

Explanation:

Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation/Expected Return * 100%

                                                   Standard

                          Expected         deviation            Coefficient of

Alternative          return               of return             variation

A                          20%                  8.5%                   42.5%

B                          25%                  8.6%                   34.4%

C                          19%                   6.6%                   34.21%

D                          16%                   4.9%                   30.63%

(b)

Coefficient of Variation, CV, denotes the risk per unit of return. This implies that a low CV means a low risk per unit of return. Hence, the firm can minimize risk by opting for option D which gives the lowest CV and therefore offers the lowest risk

Answer:

a) Financial advantage   <u> $2,208 </u>

b) The company should accept the special order, as it will increase its profit by $2,208

Explanation:

<em>The relevant costs for decision to accept the special order are  </em>

<em>I Incremental Revenue from the special order  </em>

<em>2. incremental variable cost </em>

<em>3. The cost of the special tool</em>

Unit variable cost = 143 + 90 + 8 + 7 = $240

<em>Note that that the increase in material cost of $8 and the variable manufacturing overhead of $7 are relevant to the special order decision. Hence they are added.</em>

<em>And the balance of manufacturing overhead would be incurred either way. Therefore , they are not relevant for the decision</em>

                                                                                                       $

Sales revenue from special order

(22× $361.00)                                                                               7942

Variable cost of special order

(22× $240 )                                                                                    (5280 )

Cost of special tool                                                                      <u> (454)</u>

Financial advantage                                                                    <u> 2,208 </u>

The company should accept the special order, as it will increase its profit by $2,208

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Part 1.  Compute the company%u2019s predetermined overhead rate for the year

Predetermined overhead rate  = $15 / Computer Hour

Part 2. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Underapplied Overheads are: $1,350,000 -  $900,000 = $450,000

Part 3.  Assume the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead directly to cost of goods sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry.

Cost of goods sold $450,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000 (credit)

Part 4. Company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold on the basis of the amount of overhead applied during the year that remains in each account at the end of the year:

Work In Process $18,000 (debit)

Finished Goods $73,008 (debit)

Cost of Goods Sold $315,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000(credit)

Explanation:

Part 1.  Compute the company%u2019s predetermined overhead rate for the year

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted Activity

                                                    = $1,275,000/ 85,000

                                                    = $15 / Computer Hour

Part 2. Compute the underapplied or overapplied overhead for the year.

Applied Overheads = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate

                                 = 60,000 × $15

                                 =  $900,000

Actual Overheads = given = $1,350,000

Applied Overheads $900,000 < Actual Overheads $1,350,000, thus we have an underapplied situation

Therefore Underapplied Overheads are: $1,350,000 -  $900,000 = $450,000

Part 3.  Assume the company closes any underapplied or overapplied overhead directly to cost of goods sold. Prepare the appropriate journal entry.

Cost of goods sold $450,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000 (credit)

Part 4. Company allocates any underapplied or overapplied overhead to work in process, finished goods, and cost of goods sold on the basis of the amount of overhead applied during the year that remains in each account at the end of the year:

Allocations:

                                         Totals          Weighted Average%       Allocation

Work In Process              $43,200                   4%                           $18,000

Finished Goods              $280,800               26%                           $73,008

Cost of Goods Sold        $756,000               70%                          $315,000

Total                                $1,080,000            100%                         $450,000

Journals:

Work In Process $18,000 (debit)

Finished Goods $73,008 (debit)

Cost of Goods Sold $315,000 (debit)

Overhead Account $450,000(credit)
