Setler79 [48]

Answer:

If the company's volume increases to 3,900 units, the total cost per unit will be $69 per unit

Explanation:

Variable cost per unit = variable cost/3,400 = $132,600/3,400 = $39

If the company's volume increases to 3,900 units:

Total Variable cost = Variable cost per unit x 3,900 = $39 x 3,900 = $152,100

Total fixed cost will not change = $117,000

Total cost = Total Variable cost + Total fixed cost = $152,100 + $117,000 = $269,100

The total cost per unit = Total cost/3,900 = $269,100/3,900 = $69 per unit.

A soda manufacturer has two operating departments: mixing and bottling. mixing has 600 employees and bottling has 400 employees.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Cost allocation is a technique of allocating the organization's costs among the various cost centers of the organization. Thus, the office costs allocated to the Bottling department are equal to $128,000.

<h3>What are allocation costs?</h3>

Cost allocation is a technique of supplying relief to shared carrier organization's cost facilities that offer a product or provider. In turn, the related cost is assigned to internal clients' price centers that devour the goods and services.

As per the given information,

Total office costs: $320,000

We have given total number of employees for mixing = 600

And total number of employees for bottling = 400

office costs = $320,000

So total number of employees is equal to 600 plus 400 is 1000 employees.

\rm\,Allocation \,Base\, For\, Mixing: \frac{600}{1,000} = 0.6 \\\\So allocated amount for mixing is 0.6 \times \$320,000 = \$192,000\\\\Allocation \,Base\, for\, Bottling\, = \dfrac{400}{1,000} = 0.4\\\\So allocated amount for bottling = 0.4 \times \$320,000= \$128,000

Thus, the office costs allocated to the Bottling department is equal to $128,000.
