Answer:

The decision is incorrect. It is cheaper to make in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Make in house:

Direct materials and direct labor 10

Variable factory overhead 6

Fixed factory overhead 4

The company recently decided to buy 10,000 fishing reels from another manufacturer for $18

We need to  calculate the unitary variable cost of production. Fixed costs are unavoidable, therefore they shouldn't be taken into account.

Variable cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead

Variable cost= 10 + 6= $16

The decision is incorrect. It is cheaper to make in house.

Given the following information from Power Enterprises’ direct materials budget, how much direct materials needs to be purchased
Kipish [7]

Answer:

the method to get the correct answer is so simple, here it it!

First you have to look at how much of an inventory is there. this means that since you have them, you don't have to produce that amount. so you deduct that amount from this month's production requirement.

$890,250 - $101,200 =  789,050

then you must look at how many of an inventory we have to keep at the end of this month! this means our inventory level can't reach 0 and we must have this as the balance at the end of the period. so we have to add this amount to the production requirement as an excess amount!

$789,050 + $105,300 = $894,350

$894,350 is the answer!

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Crane Company

If Crane Company uses LIFO, the value of the ending inventory is:

= $440.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                               Units   Unit Cost   Total Cost

1/1/20 inventory      150      $4.00         $600

1/15/20 Purchase,    70         5.10            357

1/28/20 Purchase,   70        5.30            371

Total                      240                       $1,328

1/31/20 inventory   110       $4.00         $440 ($4.00 * 110)

b) The LIFO method assumes that goods that are sold first are the last that were purchased.  Therefore, the cost of the ending inventory is usually based on the cost of the earlier inventory purchased.  In our case, the cost per unit was based on the beginning inventory balance.
