Tancredi Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Machining and Customizing. The company used the following data at the be

olganol [36]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Fixed overhead= 33,500

Total variable overhead= (1.8*5,000) + (3*5,000)= 24,000

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

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (33,500 + 24,000) / 10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5.75

Now, we can determine the total cost for each Job:

Job E:

Direct material= $12,800

Direct labor= $17,600

Allocated overhead= (3,400 + 2,000)*5.75= $31,050

Total cost= $61,450

Job J:

Direct material= $7,000

Direct labor= $1,600

Allocated overhead= (1,600 + 3,000)*5.75= $26,450

Total cost= $35,050

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(A) $731,250

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break-even point in sales dollars is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses or Fixed cost) ÷ (Contribution ratio)

where,

Contribution ratio = Contribution margin ÷ sales

= $208,000 ÷ $650,000

= 0.32 or 32%

And, the fixed expense is $234,000

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $234,000 ÷ 32%

= $731,250

Yanka [14]

Answer:

Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000

Explanation:

Relevant costs saved by outsourcing production:

Direct materials $3.70

Direct labor $12.00

Variable manufacturing overhead $2.30

Fixed manufacturing overhead $9.00 * 1/3 = $3

Total cost per part $21.00

Total savings per year = $21 * 29,000 = $609,000

Additional rental income = $79,000

Total = $688,000

Cost of purchasing 29,000 parts = $23 * 29,000 = $667,000

Financial advantage of accepting supplier's offer = $21,000
