Oak Island Amusements Center provides the following data on the costs of maintenance and the number of visitors for the last thr

Semmy [17]

Answer:

a. (i) $1.40

(ii) $190,000

b. $3,410,000

Explanation:

The computation of fixed cost of maintenance annually and the variable cost of maintenance per visitor is shown below:-

a. (i) Variable cost per visitor = (Maintenance cost at highest number of visitors - Maintenance cost at lowest number of visitors) ÷ (Highest number of visitor - Lowest number of visitor)

= ($3,830,000 - $2,773,000) ÷ ($2,600,000 - $1,845,000)

= $1,057,000 ÷ $755,000

= $1.40

(ii) Fixed cost of maintenance = Total costs - Variable cost at that level

= $2,773,000 - $1,845,000 × $1.40

= $2,773,000 - $2,583,000

= $190,000

b. The computation of estimated maintenance costs is shown below:-

Estimated maintenance costs = Fixed costs + Variable cost per visitors × Number of visitors

= $190,000 + 2,300,000 × $1.40

= $190,000 + $3,220,000

= $3,410,000

To assign overhead costs to each product, the company:_____.

mina [271]

Answer:

a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.

Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.

Hence, to assign overhead costs to each product, the company multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;

Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.

The dolphin might understand comprehension. Knowing the placement of words, the tones of the words and the letters they consist is one thing. But understanding what the phrase or sentence means is comprehending. Knowing that if you change the placements of words within the sentence, it would give different meanings, is a manifestation of comprehension.
