Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system. A single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is comp

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total number of direct labor hours= (1,000*2) + (2,000*7)= 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000 / 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $75 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we allocate overhead to each unit and calculate the unitary cost:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 75*2= $150

Unitary cost= 150 + 8 + 10= $168

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 75*7= $525

Unitary cost= 525 + 6 + 11= $542

<u>Finally, using activity-based costing:</u>

Mercon Wurcon Total

Engineering design time (in hours) 1,000 1,000 2,000

Direct labor-hours 2,000 14,000 16,000

Engineering= 600,000 / 2,000= $300 per design hour

Direct labor= 600,000 / 16,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*2 + 300*1= $375

Unitary cost= 375 + 8 + 10= $393

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*7 + 300*0.5= $412.5

Unitary cost= 412.5 + 6 + 11= $429.5

uppose your firm has decided to use a divisional WACC approach to analyze projects. The firm currently has four divisions, A thr

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

WACC for A: 9.05%

WACC for B: 9.50%

WACC for C: 12.20%

WACC for D: 12.65%

Explanation:

WACC for a division will be equal: Percentage of Debt in capital employed by the Division x Cost of Debt + Percentage of Equity in capital employed by the Division x Cost of equity = 50% x 6% + 50% x ( Risk free rate + Beta of each Division x Risk premium) = 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x Risk premium)

Risk premium for the 4 Divisions is equal to (Cost of equity for the whole firm - Risk free rate) / beta = 9%

Thus WACC for a division will be equal: 3% + 50% x ( 4% + beta of each Division x 9%).

Substitute beta of each Division from A to D provided in the question, we have: WACC for A: 9.05%; WACC for B: 9.5%; WACC for C: 12.2%; WACC for D: 12.65%.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

One of the great dangers in allocating common fixed corporate costs is that such allocations can make a product line look less profitable than it really is.

Explanation:

Therefore, care must be exercised so that a product line is not eliminated because the common fixed costs have been allocated to it such that it becomes unprofitable. This is why it is necessary to identify activity cost pools into which such fixed costs can be accumulated and from which they can be allocated to product lines. Using ABC costing approach, for instance, offers a means of escape because the system tries to allocate costs based on the level of usage or consumption of such common costs by each product line instead of using arbitrary allocation formulas.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The question is not complete.

Here is the complete question:

Chuck, a single taxpayer, earns $75,000 in taxable income and $10,000 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (Use the US tax rate schedule)

Required:

a. If Chuck earns an additional $40,000 of taxable income, what is his marginal tax rate on this income?

b. What is his marginal rate if, instead, he had $40,000 of additional deductions?

Here are the answers:

a. 24%

b. 12%

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate is an incremental tax rate that is paid out of the taxable income of a tax payer. It represents the rate at which the last unit of dollar of the taxable income is taxed. The marginal rate for each income bracket is supplied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Chuck Marginal Tax Rate

a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:

= $75,000 + $40,000

= $115,000

Marginal tax rate for $115,000 is 24% according IRS tax rate schedule.

b) If instead, it is an additional deduction of $40,0000, the marginal tax rate will be:

= $75,000 - $40,000

= $35,000

The marginal tax rate for taxable income of $35,000 is 12% according IRS tax rate schedule.

Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.

It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.
