Four hundred and eighty minutes of production time are available per day. The schedule calls for the production of 80 units per

day. Each unit of the product requires 30 minutes of work. What is the theoretical minimum number of workstations?

Answer:

<em>The theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

Explanation:

Given the total time available per day = 480 minutes

the cycle time which is the time required or spent to produce a unit can be obtained as;

Cycle time = Total time / Demand per day

Cycle time = 480 / 80 = 6 minutes

hence 6 minutes is the cycle time  for one unit.

The theoretical number of stations can be calculated thus;

Theoretical number of stations = Time for one unit / Cycle time

= 30/6 = 5 workstations

<em>Therefore the theoretical minimum number of workstations are five workstations</em>

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Ending inventory is <u>$24,917</u>.

Explanation:

Lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value method implies that whichever is lower between the cost per unit and the net realizable value per unit is used to value the ending inventory of an item.

The ending inventory can therefore be determined as follows:

<u>For Cameras:</u>

Units = 113

Cost per unit = $61

net realizable value per unit = $74

We choose cost per unit since it is lower and we have:

Cameras ending inventory = 113 * $61 = $6,893

<u>For Blu-ray players:</u>

Units = 153

Cost per unit = $77

net realizable value per unit = $50

We choose net realizable value per unit since it is lower and we have:

Blu-ray players ending inventory = 153 * $50 = $7,650

<u>For iPods:</u>

Units = 133

Cost per unit = $86

net realizable value per unit = $78

We choose net realizable value per unit since it is lower and we have:

iPods ending inventory = 133 * $78 = $10,374

<u>Calculation of ending inventory:</u>

Ending inventory = Cameras ending inventory + Blu-ray players ending inventory + iPods ending inventory = $6,893 + $7,650 + $10,374 = $24,917

On January 1, 2021, the Allegheny Corporation purchased equipment for $115,000. The estimated service life of the equipment is 1
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

1. $11,000 each year

2. $23,000 and $18,400

3. $15,000 and $12,500

Explanation:

The calculation of the depreciation expense for the 2021 and 2022 is shown below:

1. Straight-line method:

= (Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) ÷ (estimated service life)

= ($115,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= ($110,000) ÷ (10 years)  

= $11,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life  i.e for 2021 also the same depreciation is applied i.e $11,000

2. Double-declining balance method:

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is

= One ÷ estimated service life

= 1 ÷ 10

= 10%

Now the rate is double So, 20%

In year 1, the original cost is $115,000, so the depreciation is $23,000 after applying the 20% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $(115,000 - $23,000) × 20% = $18,400

3. Units-of-production method:

= (Purchase value of equipment - estimated residual value) ÷ (estimated production units)

= ($115,000 - $5,000) ÷ ($220,000 units)

= ($110,000) ÷ (220,000 units)  

= $0.5 per units

For 2021, it would be

= Production units in 2021 year × depreciation per unit

= 30,000 units × $0.5

= $15,000

Now for the 2022, it would be  

= Production units in 2022 year × depreciation per unit

= 25,000 units × $0.5

= $12,500

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

  • a. Absorption costing only  --  8. Includes gross profit on the income statement
  • 2. Required by generally accepted accounting principles.
  • b. Variable costing only  --  6. Generally provides the most useful report for setting long-term prices.

  • 4. Operating income is impacted by changes in inventory level.
  • c. Both absorption and variable costing  --  7.May be used in a manufacturing company
  • 1.Treats fixed selling cost as a period cost.

Explanation:

  • The absorption costing includes that all the manufacturing costs which are given to the units produced and the cost of a finished product will be the cost of the direct material and labor.
  • Variable cost is a method that assigned the variables costs to the inventories and means that overall cost changes to expenses in a time of occurrence.
  • Both of these costs are related to the method of the production and costs that are incurred in the production and in which method the company uses to make.

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $45,862.29

Explanation:

This question relates to the Present value of an Annuity.

The original price would be the present value of the payments and since the payments are constant over a period, they are an annuity

Interest/ r = 2.25/12 months = 0.1875%

Periods/ n = 4 * 12 months = 48 months

= Payment * (( 1 - ( 1 + r) ^ n)/ r)

= 1,000 * (( 1 - ( 1 + 0.1875%)^48) / 0.1875%)

= $45,862.29
