Answer:

A. Fixed Overhead rate = $30 per labour hour and $1.2 per unit of input

B. Fixed Overhead Variance = $2,000 (favorable)

C. Production volume overhead variance = $3,600 (unfavorable)

Explanation:

Pear watches

A.

Budgeted Fixed Overhead in 2015 = $648,000

Planned Direct Labour Hours = 21,600 hours

Fixed overhead Allocation basis is per Direct labor hour

Allocation rate per Direct labour hour = $648,000 / 21,600 = $30 per direct labour hour

If 540,000 units is expected to be produced in 21,600 labour hours;

Units that will be produced In 1 labour hour = 540,000/21,600 = 25 units

Therefore if 1 labour hour costs the firm $30 and only 25 units can be produced in 1hour, one unit will cost:

$30 / 25 = $1.20

B.

If the business planned same volume each month = 540,000 divided by 12 = 45,000 units monthly

At the rate of $1.20 per unit.

Budgeted Fixed Overhead in October = $54,000

However the firm did 48,000 units in October and incurred actual Fixed Overhead of $52,000

Variance = Budgeted Fixed Overhead less Actual Fixed Overhead

= $54,000 - $52,000 = $2,000 (favorable)

C.

Production volume overhead variance = budgeted unit rate x (Budgeted Volume less Actual Volume)

= $1.2 x (45,000 - 48,000 units )

= $1.2 x -3,000

= -$3,600 (unfav)

The ACME manufacturing company is weighing its options to source Component X. Supplier A would cost $3000 per order plus $2.50 f
raketka [301]

Question Completion:

Since the options are not provided, it is assumed that ACME requires 2,000 units of Component X monthly.  Which supplier should the company choose?

Answer:

ACME Manufacturing Company

The supplier that should be chosen is:

Supplier A.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quantity of component X required monthly = 2,000 units

Cost of buying from supplier A = $3,000 + ($2.50 * 2,000) = $8,000

Cost of buying from supplier B = $6 * 2,000 = $12,000

Cost of buying from supplier C = $5 * 2,000 = $10,000

b) This cost decision depends on the quantity of component X required by ACME manufacturing.  If the quantity were to be less than or equal to 1,100 units, another supplier other than supplier A might be preferred.  Again, if there are other considerations apart from cost, supplier A might not be chosen.  The implication is that the choice of a supplier for a component depend on many factors.
