lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

e. under-applied by $4,000

Explanation:

The overhead rate was calcualte considering labor cost:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

144,000 / 240,000 = 0.60

Each dollar of labor cost applies 60 cent of overhead

applied overhead:

$220,000 labor cost x 0-60 each = 132,000 applied overhead

now we compare against the 136,000 actual overhead

as we didn't met the value and fell short, we have underapplied the overhead.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

She must sell 7,500  copies to mantain the profits when price changes to $15.

Explanation:

  • Let's start with a definition of profit or benefit: Benefit=(Price-Cost)\times{Quantity}
  • At the beggining, she obtained a profit of $75,000: She sold 5,000 copies, and she got $20-$5=$15 dollars for each of the 5,000. units sold, which means a benefit of 15\times5,000=75,000 dollars.
  • Then, if she wants to keep the $75,000 profits when prices falls to $15, she must sell more copies:75,000=(15-5)\times{NewQuantity}. Then, the quantity she must sell to mantain the profit constant at $75,000 is New quantity=7,500.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Contribution Margin from proposal

Cross Trainer Shoes $360,000

Running Shoe $340,000

Explanation:

Preparation of differential analysis for Rocket Shoe Company

DIFFERENTIAL ANALYSIS

Cross Trainer Shoes Running Shoe

Differential Revenue 984,000 900,000

Differential costs:

Direct Material (192,000) (200,000)

Direct labor (72,000) (60,000)

Variable factory overhead (48,000) (60,000)

Variable selling expense (312,000) (240,000)

Differential cost (624,000) (560,000)

Contribution Margin from proposal 360,000 340,000

Differential Revenue

Cross Trainer Shoes(41*24,000)=$984,000

Running Shoe(45*20,000) =$900,000

Differential costs:

Direct Material

Cross Trainer Shoes (8*24,000)=192,000

Running Shoe(10*20,000)=200,000

Direct labor

Cross Trainer Shoes (3*24,000)=72,000

Running Shoe(3*20,000)=60,000

Variable factory overhead

Cross Trainer Shoes (2*24,000)=48,000

Running Shoe(3*20,000)=60,000

Variable selling expense

Cross Trainer Shoes (13*24,000)=312,000

Running Shoe(12*20,000)=240,000

Differential cost is the addition of direct materials +direct labor + Variable factory overhead+Variable selling expense

Contribution Margin from proposal

Cross Trainer Shoes 984,000-624,000=360,000

Running Shoe 900,000-560,000=340,000

Since Cross trainer shoes had $360,000 this means that cross trainer shoes would contribute more than Running shoe which had $340,000 because Cross trainer shoes contribution margin is higher.
