Answer:

(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years

(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%

Explanation:

Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850

The useful life is 5 years

The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year

The salvage value is $107,100

(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows

= cost/amount of cash flow

= 283,850/81,100

= 3.5 years

(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows

First we calculate the depreciation expense

= 283,850-107,100/5

= 176,750/5

= 35,350

Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses

= 283,850-35,350

= 248,500

Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100

= 248,500/283,850 × 100

= 0.875 × 100

= 87.5%

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours. The company estimates that their overhead for the year will
aev [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: underapplied by $2,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours.

The company estimates that their overhead for the year will be $180,000 and that they will use 72,000 direct labor hours.

During the year, Martinez Manufacturing used 75,000 direct labor hours and actual overhead costs were $190,000

We need to calculate if the overhead was under or over applied and in what amount.

Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate= 180000/72000= $2.5 an hour

Now, we can calculate the amount of overhead allocated:

Overhead allocated= 75000 hours*2.5= $187,500

Over/under applied= actual overhead - allocated overhead= 190,000 - 185,500= $2,500 underapplied
