Total Year for direct labor                                       $ 130,200

Explanation:

Computation of raw material purchases

<u>Raw material consumption</u>

Qtr No of Units per qtr Total Requirement

1        9,000 * 7 gms per unit =      63,000 gms

2      12,000 * 7 gms per unit =      84,000 gms

3       11,000 * 7 gms per unit =      77,000 gms

4       10,000 * 7 gms per unit =     <u>70,000</u> gms

Total Year                                     294,000 gms

Raw Material Purchases for each quarter

Purchases = Closing inventory + Consumption - Opening inventory

1 21,000 (84,000gms * 25 % ) + 63,000 - 15.750 =  68,250 gms  

2 19,250 (77,000gms* 25 %) + 84,000 - 21,000 =  82,250 gms

3 17,500 ( 70,000gms* 25 %) + 77,000-19,250 =  75,250 gms

4 8,000 ( As per data) + 70,000-17.500            =  60,500 gms

Total year purchases =                                       =  286,250 gms

<u>Cost of purchases</u>

Quarter 1    68,250 gms  * $ 1.20     = $  81,900

Quarter 2   82,250 gms * $ 1.20      = $  98,700

Quarter 3   75,250 gms * $ 1,20     =  $ 90,300

Quarter 4   60,500 gms * $ 1,20    =   <u>$ 72,600</u>

Total purchases                                   $ 343,500

Computation of cash disbursements for purchases

Quarter 1 Payments = Opening Payables + 60 % of quarter 1

$ 5,600 + ( 60 %* $ 81,900) = $ 5,600 + $ 49,140 =               $ 54,740

Quarter 2 payments

(40 % of quarter 1) + ( 60 % of quarter 2)

($ 81,900 * 40 %) + ( $ 98,700 * 60 %)

$ 32,760 + $ 59,220                                               =                $ 91,980

Quarter 3 payments

(40 % of quarter 2) + ( 60 % of quarter 3)

($ 98,700 * 40 %) + ( $ 90,300 * 60 %)

$ 39,480 + $ 54,180                                                =                $ 93.660    

Quarter 4 payments

(40 % of quarter 3) + ( 60 % of quarter 4)

($ 90,300 * 40 %) + ( $ 72,600 * 60 %)

$ 36,120 + $ 43,560                                                =               <u> $ 79,680</u>

Total payments for purchases for the year                            $ 320,060

Computation of direct labor cost  

No of units * Estimated Direct labor hours * Labor rate per hour

Quarter 1  =    9,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         $  27.900

Quarter 2  =   12,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =        $  37.200

Quarter 3       11,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         $  34.100

Quarter 4       10,000 * 0.20 per unit * $ 15.50               =         <u>$  31.000</u>

Total cost for Direct labour                                                        $ 130,200

Altoona Corporation has two divisions, Hinges and Doors, which are both organized as profit centers. The Hinge Division produces
Luden [163]

Answer:

Minimum transfer price = $21

Explanation:

<em>Transfer price is the price at which goods are exchange between branches or divisions of the same group</em>

<em>Where  a division is operating at the less than the existing capacity, to optimist the group profit, the minimum transfer price should be set as follows</em>

Minimum transfer price = Variable cost

Note that the fixed of $12 per unit (i.e 33-21) is irrelevant for this purpose, whether or not Hinges produces, it will be incurred either way.

It is worthy of note that there is no opportunity cost associated with any transfer to the Doors division because Hinges is currently having excess capacity.

Therefore, any offering price equal to or above the variable cost of $21 would be acceptable and optimize the group profit.

Hence, the minimum transfer price = $21

Assume selected financial data for Sun Health Group and Select Medical Corporation, two companies in the health-care industry, a
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of receivables turnover ratio and average collection period for Sun Health and Select Medical is shown below:-

For Sun health

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)

= $3,630 ÷ (($300 + $287) ÷ 2)

= $3,630 ÷ 293.5

= 12.4 times

Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 12.37 times

= 29.5 days

For Sun medical

Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio = Net Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

= Net Sales ÷ ((Accounts Receivables at the beginning + Accounts Receivables at the end) ÷ 2)

= $3,940 ÷ (($499 + $438) ÷ 2)

= $3,940 ÷ 468.5

= 8.4 times

Average Collection Period = Number of days in a year ÷ Accounts Receivables Turnover Ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.41 times

= 43.4 days
