Answer:

Capacity Limits (Fixed Overhead)

Explanation:

Cost are generally divided into Variable and Fixed Cost. Every operation, machine or factory are limited to a particular capacity. As is the case in question, the machine capacity of Simple Semiconductors 12,000 unit. Production above the capacity of the machine would result to a strain in the machine hence the increased cost as a result of regular maintenance.

The cost of materials and labor (variable cost) have not increased. To produce above 12,000 units, a new machine should be purchased. This would effectively increase the capacity while forcing down the unit cost of the product if they are producing at their optimum capacity.

Multiple Choice Question 71 Boswell Company manufactures two products, Regular and Supreme. Boswell’s overhead costs consist of
seropon [69]

Answer:

Allocated MOH=  $5,250,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Overhead costs:

Machining = $5,000,000

Assembling= $2,500,000

Regular:

Direct labor hours= 10,000

Machine hours= 10,000

Number of parts= 90,000

Supreme:

Direct labor hours= 15,000

Machine hours= 30,000

Number of parts= 160,000

First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for each department. For Machining, we will use the machine hours. For Assembling, we will use the direct labor hours.

To calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

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

<u>Machining:</u>

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 5,000,000/ (10,000 + 30,000)= $125 per machine hour

<u>Assembling:</u>

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate=  2,500,000/(25,000)= $100 per direct labor hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to supreme.

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= (125*30,000) + (100*15,000)= $5,250,000
