Answer:

Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.

Explanation:

Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.

The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.

Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 34.0 meters of material at $0.20 per meter and 0.30 direct labor hours at $19.00 p
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Total standard cost = $103.7

Explanation:

<em>Standard cost is the sum of the standard material cost , standard labour cost and standard overhead</em>

Overhead  = OAR × direct labour hour

               = $16 × (0.30×$19.00)= 91.2

Standard cost = (34.0×$0.20) + (0.30×$19.00) +  91.2 = $103.7

Standard cost = $103.7

Direct materials               37,000                   50,000

Work in process                38,000                   41,000

Finished goods                 22,000                   34,000

The following information was taken from XYZ Company's accounting records

for 2020:

Sales revenue ...........................................   $630,000

Direct materials purchased ..............................       ?

Depreciation, factory equipment .........................     34,000

Prime costs .............................................    250,000

Utilities (60% for factory; 40% for office building) ....     20,000

Net income ..............................................     10,000

Direct labor ............................................       ?

Advertising .............................................     75,000

Production supervisor's salary ..........................     81,000

Additional information:

1.  Direct labor comprised 35% of the conversion costs for 2020.

2.  The actual overhead cost for 2020 was equal to the overhead applied

   to production. Thus there was no overhead variance for 2020.

A) Calculate XYZ Company's direct labor cost for 2020.

B) Calculate the direct materials purchased by XYZ Company in 2020.

C) Calculate XYZ Company's sales commissions for 2020.

Answer is:

a) Total overhead = 34000+12000+25000+56000+81000 = 208000

Direct labor = 208000*35/65 = 112000

b) Direct material used = 250000-112000 = 138000

Direct material purchase = 138000+50000-37000 = 151000

c) Sales and administrative expense other than sales commission = 113000

Sales commission = 630000-443000-113000-10000 = 64000
