Fogerty Company makes two products, titanium Hubs and Sprockets. Data regarding the two products follow: Direct Labor-Hours per

Unit Annual Production Hubs 0.60 15,000 units Sprockets 0.20 50,000 units Additional information about the company follows:
a. Hubs require $39 in direct materials per unit, and Sprockets require $18.
b. The direct labor wage rate is $12 per hour.
c. Hubs are more complex to manufacture than Sprockets and they require special equipment.
d. The ABC system has the following activity cost pools:
Estimated Activity Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Overhead Cost Hubs Sprockets Total Machine setups (number of setups) $ 28,980 140 112 252 Special processing (machine-hours) $ 92,000 4,600 0 4,600 General factory (organization-sustaining) $ 89,000 NA NA NA
Required:
1. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.
2. Determine the unit product cost of each product according to the ABC system. (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Fogerty Company

1. Computation of the activity rate for each activity cost pool:

a. Machine setups = Total machine setups overhead costs/total machine setups

= $28,980/252 = $115 per machine set up

b. Special processing = Total special processing overhead costs/total machine hours

= $92,000/4,600 = $20 per machine hour

c. General factory = $89,000/65,000 = $1.369 per unit produced

2. Determination of the unit product cost of each product using ABC system:

                                           Hubs              Sprockets

Total production costs   $825,640         $1,101,340

Units produced                 15,000               50,000

Unit product cost =          $55.04               $22.03

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Activity Cost Pool            Overhead      Hubs       Sprockets     Total

(Activity Measure)               Costs

Machine setups

 (number of setups)         $ 28,980        140              112            252

Special processing

 (machine-hours)             $ 92,000   4,600                 0          4,600

General factory

(organization-sustaining) $ 89,000         NA               NA            NA

Direct labor-hours per unit                   0.60             0.20

Total units produced                          15,000           50,000       65,000

Direct materials required per unit         $39                $18

Direct labor wage rate per hour            $12                 $12

b) Total direct labor-hours                 9,000            10,000        19,000

c) Activity rate for each activity cost pool:

1. Machine setups = Total machine setups overhead costs/total machine setups

= $28,980/252 = $115 per machine set up

2. Special processing = Total special processing overhead costs/total machine hours

= $92,000/4,600 = $20 per machine hour

3. General factory = Total general factory overhead costs divided by total units produced

= $89,000/65,000 = $1.3692 per unit produced

d) Overhead Allocation:

                                          Hubs             Sprockets          Total

Machine setups               $16,100            $12,880        $28,980

Special processing          96,000                 0                96,000

General factory                20,540             68,460          89,000

Total overhead costs   $132,640            $81,340      $213,980

e) Total costs per product

                                          Hubs               Sprockets             Total

Direct materials costs     $585,000         $900,000         $1,485,000

Direct labor costs            $108,000          $120,000           $228,000

Total overhead costs      $132,640             $81,340            $213,980

Total production costs   $825,640         $1,101,340         $1,926,980

Units produced                 15,000               50,000

Unit product cost =          $55.04               $22.03

f) Activity based costing system (ABC) is a costing technique that accumulates according to activity pools and allocates costs based on the activities carried out.  For example, the general factory overhead costs, could be allocated based on direct labour hours, machine hours, or total units of production.  It calculates the allocation rate based on the accepted activity pool.

Difference between per<br> behaviour and organisational behaviour
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Organiational behaviour looks at the individual behaviour, then moves to group behaviour, progressively to the organization behaviour, which you can also call the organization culture.

torisob [31]

Answer:

perceptual screen

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Carl has most likely created a perceptual screen to shield him from all the competing messages. This term refers to a psychological window through which we interact with people that influences the quality, accuracy and clarity of the communication. Which seems to be the case with Carl, and why he no longer notices new groups or signs.

The present value interest factor for an annuity with an interest rate of 8 percent per year over 20 years is ____.
lianna [129]

The present value factor of an annuity that will mature in 20 years at an interest rate of 8% is <u>9.8181474.</u>

<h3>What is the present value interest factor?</h3>

It can be found by using the present value of an annuity formula of:

= Amount x ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ - number of periods) / Rate

As there is no amount, solving gives:

= ( 1 - ( 1 + 8%) ⁻²⁰) / 8%

= 9.8181474

In conclusion, it is 9.8181474.

If you were wrongfully put
Neko [114]

Answer:

If you were wrongfully put  into an insane asylum, how  would you convince them  that you're actually sane and  not just pretending to be  sane? Why?

When one seeks for an asylum, at that moment in time there is no choice of the location or group of people it could be once it is far away from war zone or trouble or danger zone where one can find peace at least. Then if it is an insane asylum, the only way to prove of his sanity by doing what is termed as wrong, i mean doing what seems to others as wrong which would depict his sanity that is different from others. while pretending to be like others that are insane would only paint such an individual as insane as well because it would take time to prove such not to be insane.
