Answer:
Purchase= 14,500 pounds
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
the total pounds needed for production in the current period is 14,000. Beginning inventory= 2,000 pounds
Desired ending inventory= 2,500 pounds
To calculate the direct material purchase, we need to use the following formula:
Purchase= direct material for the period + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchase= 14,000 + 2,500 - 2,000
Purchase= 14,500 pounds
Answer:
Wally and Pay More Incorporated
The loan resulted in any income to Wally of $3,960 ($4,320 - $360), which would have been a cost he would have incurred had he borrowed the loan at the prevailing federal interest rate.
On the other hand, it resulted in a lost revenue (expense) of $3,960 ($4,320 - $360) which Pay More Incorporated could have earned if it had loaned it at the prevailing federal interest rate. This expense is a compensation expense.
Explanation:
Pay More's Loan to Wally = $36,000
Interest rate = 1%
Prevailing interest = $4,320
Interest paid = $360
Difference between prevailing interest and interest paid by Wally = $3,960 ($4,320 - $360).
Answer:
Overhead Rate based on:
Direct labor hours: $12.5 per labor hour
Direct labor expense: 50% of labor cost e.g. $0.5 for every dollar of labor cost
Machine hours: $7.5 per machine hour
Explanation:
Overhead rate is calculated by dividing the total estimated manufacturing overhead to the relevant activity base selected e.g. machine hours, labor hours, labor cost etc.
Overhead rates are calculated for different bases are as follows:
Direct labor hours: $750,000 / 60,000 = $12.5 per hour
Direct labor Expense: $750,000 / 1,500,00 = 50% ($0.5 for every dollar cost of direct labor)
Machine hours: $750,000 / 100,000 = $7.5 per machine hour.
