onceptual Connection: For each situation, identify the possible root cause(s) of the activity cost (such as plant layout, proces

s design, and product design). a. A manual insertion process takes 30 minutes and 8 pounds of material to produce a product. Automating the insertion process requires 15 minutes of machine time and 7.5 pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is $12, the cost per machine hour is $8, and the cost per pound of materials is $10. b. With its original design, a gear requires 8 hours of setup time. By redesigning the gear so that the number of different grooves needed is reduced by 50%, the setup time is reduced by 75%. The cost per setup hour is $50. c. A product currently requires 6 moves. By redesigning the manufacturing layout, the number of moves can be reduced from 6 to 0. The cost per move is

Answer:

Explanation:

For each situation, identify the possible root cause or causes of activity cost, among these:

1. Plant Layout

2. Process design

3. Product design

(A) PROCESS DESIGN

The design of the process of production is the root cause of activity cost here. From the rates given, it's clear that the manual method of production costs more time and money than the mechanical production method.

A minor cause of activity cost here is the PRODUCT DESIGN; the cost of which varies with the use of labour and the use of machine.

(B) PRODUCT DESIGN

Change in design of the gear (removal of some component parts) reduces set up time and cost.

(C) PLANT LAYOUT

Redesign of manufacturing plant saves the time and cost of moves.

In 2015, the city of Berkeley instituted a tax on sugar-sweetened sodas. Suppose that the tax increased the price of a typical s
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

(g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Increase in price of typical soda = 10 cents

Total consumed = 150,000 sodas [er day

Dropped quantity = 75,000 sodas

So by considering the above information, the per day compensating variation of the tax varies from 0 and - 7,500

Since the sugar sweetened sodas is treated as a normal goods. Moreover, people can substitute the other goods also if there is an increase in a price of the good

The -7,500 is come from = (-75,000 × 0.10)

The options are as follows

(a) Greater than -$15k because soda is a luxury good with income (b) -$15k because that is the old consumption level times the value of the tax (c) Between -S7.5k and -$15k because soda is a luxury good elasticity > 1 with income elasticity >1 (d) Between -$7.5k arti -$15k because residents can substitute to other products (e) -$7.5k because that is the new consumption level times the value of the tax ()-$7.5k because that is the change in consumption times the value of the tax (g) Between 0 and -S7.5k because residents can substitute to other products (h) Between 0 and -$7.5k because because beverages are typically necessity goods with 6) Nothing because there was no effect on income G) It is impossible to say without knowing consumers' marginal rate of substitution income elasticity less than 1

Determine the balance in Finished Goods Inventory on October 31 and November 30 under absorption costing and variable costing. C
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:Please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, amounts of production costs like Direct Material, direct labour and Variable/Fixed manufacturing overheard were not given, we will explain the absorption cost and variable cost in detail so that the student would be able to calculate absorption cost and variable cost balances easier.

Absorption costing Method

Total Manufacturing costs are allocated to Finished goods Product. Absorption Costing method assigns or allocates the total cost of Manufacturing or total production costs to units of Finished Goods produced. each unit of finished goods thus represents total costs of production per unit or Total Manufacturing/Production cost is the Balance of Finished Goods.

Total Manufacturing/Production cost = direct labor cost + direct material cost + variable and fixed Manufacturing overheads cost.

Finished Goods Balance = Total Manufacturing/Production cost

A unit of Finished Goods = Total Manufacturing costs/units produced

Variable costing method

Variable costing method fixed manufacturing costs are treated as an expense,  Variable Manufacturing costs are the only allocated to inventory. The value or Balance of inventory consist of Variable Manufacturing cost like Direct labor, Direct Material and Variable Manufacturing costs. Finished Goods Balance equals total Variable Manufacturing cost
