Answer:
Rest of question:
... equals marginal cost.
Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.
As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.
This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.
Answer:
unitary product cost= $102
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Manufacturing costs Direct materials per unit $60
Direct labor per unit $22
Variable overhead per unit $8
Fixed overhead for the year $528,000
Units produced= 44,000
The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable<u>. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead. </u>
Fi<u>rst, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead:</u>
Unitary fixed overhead= 528,000/44,000= $12
<u>Now, the unitary product cost:</u>
unitary product cost= 60 + 22 + 8 + 12
unitary product cost= $102
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is the rate that is computed by taking the estimated manufacturing overhead and the same would be divided by allocation factor that could be estimated direct labor, estimated direct hours, etc in order to assign the overhead cost
So according to the given situation, the first option is correct i.e. predetermined overhead rate
It is and should be the managers job to do that
Answer:
a.
Date Account Title Debit Credit
Jan. 31 Product Warranty Expense $15,160
Product Warranty Payable $15,160
<u>Working:</u>
Product warranty expense = Amount of sales for January * Estimated product warranty
= 379,000 * 4%
= $15,160
b.
Date Account Title Debit Credit
Jan. 31 Product Warranty Payable $355
Supplies $250
Wages payable $105
The costs of the warranty will be taken from the liability account for warranties because the warranty payable account represents that the company owes warranty repairs which the customer just came to collect.
