Answer:
The right answer is:
(a) 5916 units
(b) 5046 units
Explanation:
Given:
Sales,
= $59
Variable cost,
= $30
Fixed cost,
= $171,564
Increased sale,
= $64
Now,
(a)
Contribution margin will be:
= 
= 
= 
($)
hence,
Breakeven will be:
= 
= 
= 
(b)
Contribution margin will be:
= 
= 
= 
($)
hence,
Breakeven will be:
=
= 
= 
Answer:
$270,000
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the overhead cost of the material handling parts
Since each wind stock require 3 parts then the overhead cost can be calculated as follows
= 3 × 20,000
= 60,000
The overhead cost of machining hours can be calculated as follows
Since 5 minutes is spent in the machining department then overhead cost is
= 5× 20,000
= 100,000
The overhead cost of packaging number of finished units can be calculated as follows
= 2 × 20,000
= 40,000
Total overhead cost= 100,000 + 60,000 + 40,000
= 200,000
The total cost of direct materials and labor can be calculated as follows
= 3.5 × 20,000
= 70,000
Therefore the total cost of producing 20,000 windstocks is
= Total overhead cost + total cost of direct materials and labor
= 200,000 + 70,000
= $270,000
Hence the total cost of producing 20,000 windstocks is $270,000
Answer:
C. The company paid a lower cost per hour for labor than allowed by the standards.
Explanation:
direct labor rate/price variance = (AR - SR) x AH
Any favorable variance will result from a lower actual rate than the standard rate. Any difference in the actual number of hours will result in a variance of labor efficiency.
In this case, assuming that actual hours were the same as standard hours, 5,000 x 5 = 25,000 direct labor hours were employed. This means that the actual rate was:
-8,000 = (AR - 15) x 25,000
AR - 15 = -8,000 / 25,000 = 0.32
AR = $14.68
