Answer:

The company's high-volume products are overcosted.

Explanation:

Vanguilder is currently using a <em>traditional costing </em>which is easy because it often just divides some types of costs equally between different items.

To understand this we take the assumption given in the question that Vanguilder combines all manufacturing overhead into a single cost pool and allocates this overhead to products by using machine hours.

So, lets say that Vanguilder is producing 2 products then how will you divide the machine hours between these 2 products?

It's Easy;

The total cost of machine hours divided by units produced and we get the $ amount for each product. But what if product 1 uses more machine hours then product 2?

Is it still fair to write down same amount of machine hours for each product.

We should write bigger machine hour cost for the product 1, right?

This is where Activity Based Costing is different from Traditional Costing.

However, <em>Activity Based Costing</em> finds ways to divide or allocate these costs more proportionally or fairly.

We can write a higher cost for product which use more machine hours.

Hence the following option would be correct:

<em>The company's high-volume products are overcosted. </em>

As, low-volume products require less production allocated using overhead (such as machine hours) than high-volume products. Therefore low-volume product are  undercosted, while high-volume product are overcosted.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Void

Explanation:

Void is the term of law, which is defined as the contract is not valid currently, and the parties of the contract are not held to its terms. The void contract is the one which is generally unenforceable.

The contract could be void because of many reasons like the contract need one party to perform that act which is impossible or in that case, where one party is not mentally incompetent.

So, in this case, the contract is most likely to be void as the contract with the party who is mentally incompetent, though the party has not been adjudged through court.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:

= $4,000 + $22,000 - $4,500

= $21,500

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Alternative A

Let the break even point be X, then

Total Revenue = Total Expense

60*X = (300000 + 25*X)

35*X = 300000

X = 8571.43 Units

Alternative B

Let the break even point be Y, then

60*Y = (250000 + 30*Y)

30*Y = 250000

Y = 8333.33 Units
