The management of Bullinger Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on a
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$5,160

Explanation:

Predetermined Overhead Rate on Capacity = Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead / Estimated Capacity for the Year

Predetermined Overhead Rate on Capacity = $34,840 / 29,000 MH

Predetermined Overhead Rate on Capacity = $1.20 MH

Actual use of capacity = 24,700 hours

Unused hours = 29,000 hours - 24,700 hours

Unused hours = 4,300 hour

Cost of unused capacity = 4,300 hours * $1.20 MH

Cost of unused capacity = $5,160

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Discounted payback period shall be as follows:

a. 1 year 7.36 months

b. 2 years 3.27 months

c. 3 years 2.9 months

Explanation:

a. Payback period in case of cash outflow = $5,700

For calculating the pay back period we shall firstly discount the cash flows to present value @14 %.

Year         Cash Flow         PV Factor           PV of Cash Flow       Cumulative

                                                                                                            Cash Flow

0                 -  $5,700            1                             - $5,700                    -5,700

1                     $4,400         0.877                         $3,858.8                -$1,841.2

2                    $3,900         0.770                         $3,003                    $1,161.8

Since the cumulative cash flows are positive in 2nd year payback period =

1 + \frac{1,841.2}{3,003} \times 12 = 1 year and 7.36 months

b. Payback period in case of cash outflow = $7,800

For calculating the pay back period we shall firstly discount the cash flows to present value @14 %.

Year         Cash Flow         PV Factor           PV of Cash Flow       Cumulative

                                                                                                            Cash Flow

0                 -  $7,800            1                             - $7,800                    -7,800

1                     $4,400         0.877                         $3,858.8                -$3,941.2

2                    $3,900         0.770                         $3,003                    -$938.2

3                    $5,100          0.675                         $3,442.5                  $2,504.3

Since the cumulative cash flows are positive in 3rd year payback period =

2 + \frac{938.2}{3,442.5} \times 12 = 2 years and 3.27 months

b. Payback period in case of cash outflow = $10,800

For calculating the pay back period we shall firstly discount the cash flows to present value @14 %.

Year         Cash Flow         PV Factor           PV of Cash Flow       Cumulative

                                                                                                            Cash Flow

0               -  $10,800            1                          - $10,800                   -$10,800

1                   $4,400         0.877                         $3,858.8                 -$6,941.2

2                  $3,900         0.770                         $3,003                    -$3,938.2

3                  $5,100          0.675                         $3,442.5                   -$495.7

4                  $4,300          0.592                        $2,545.6                   $2,049.9

Since the cumulative cash flows are positive in 4th year payback period =

3 + \frac{495.7}{2,049.9} \times 12 = 3 years and 2.9 months

Final Answer

Discounted payback period shall be as follows:

a. 1 year 7.36 months

b. 2 years 3.27 months

c. 3 years 2.9 months
