jasenka [17]

Answer:

a. The purchase price of the old computer when replacing it with a new computer with improved features - <u>Irrelevant cost</u>

Sunk costs are considered irrelevant and the price of the old computer is a sunk cost as it has already been incurred.

b. The cost of renovations when deciding whether to build a new office building or to renovate the existing office building - <u>Relevant</u>

The cost of renovations will help the company decide which alternative is cheaper between building a new office or renovating.

c. The original cost of the current stove when selecting a new, more efficient stove for a restaurant. - <u>Irrelevant </u>

Like the first, this is a sunk cost so it is irrelevant.

d. Local tax incentives when selecting the location of a new office complex for a company’s headquarters. -<u> Relevant</u>

Local tax incentives could reduce cost of operation so is relevant when choosing headquarter location.

e. The fair market value (trade-in value) of the existing forklift when deciding whether to replace it with a new, more efficient model. - <u>Relevant</u>

The existing machine can be traded in for part of the cost of a new one using its market value to reduce the cost of the new one. It is relevant.

f. Fuel economy when purchasing new trucks for the delivery fleet. - <u>Relevant. </u>

Higher fuel economy can reduce cost of transportation so is a relevant cost.

g. The cost of production when determining whether to continue to manufacture the screen for a smartphone or to purchase it from an outside supplier. - <u>Relevant.</u>

This is a relevant cost because the it will help the company decide the cheaper alternative.

h. The cost of land when determining where to build a new call center. - <u>Relevant.</u>

Some land will be in areas that will have higher real estate prices. Your preferred cost of land will help determine which areas to look for locations in.

i. The average cost of vehicle operation when purchasing a new delivery van. - <u>Relevant.</u>

If this cost is too high it will increase expenses. It is a relevant cost to note for cost maximisation.

j. Real estate property tax rates when selecting the location for a new order processing center. - <u>Relevant</u>

Real estate taxes need to be known so that cost estimation can be made on the order processing center.

The Bata Aerobics Company manufactures two models of steppers used for aerobics exercises. To manufacture each luxury model requ

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

to maximize profit it will produce:

400 units of luxury

none of standard.

Explanation:

luxury:

20 lb of pastic and 9 min of labor and 40 dollars profit

standard:

30lb plastic 6 of labor and $15

We calculate the contribution per constrain resourse:

<u>labor hours</u>

40 / 9 = 4.44

15 / 6 = 2.5

<u>materials</u>

40/20 = 2

15 / 30 = 0.5

As luxury provides better contribution in both categories we will maximize his production.

60 hours x 60 min per hours = 3,600 min

3,600 / 9 min = 400 units of luxury steppers

12,600/20 = 630 units of luxury

Once we use the labor hours we cannot keep producing, so we maximize the profit at 400 units of luxury at the given scenario.

As there is no amounft left for standard we don't produce any

lara [203]

Answer:

Wexpro, Inc. gains $11500 (59500-48000) by processing further X15. It is a financial advantage to compete with a more complex product. X15 should be processed further.

Explanation:

Wexpro, Inc., produces several products from processing 1 ton of clypton, a rare mineral.

Material and processing costs total $60,000 per ton, one-fourth of which is allocated to product X15.

60000*0,25=$15000

Seven thousand units of product X15 are produced from each ton of clypton. The units can be sold at the split-off point for $9 each.

<u>Sales before split-off point: </u>

<u />

Sales 7000u*$9= $63000

Material and processing cost= $15000

Total=$48000

The units can be processed further at a total cost of $9,500 and then sold for $12 each.

<u>Sales after split-off point:</u>

Sales= 7000*12=$84000

Split-off cost= $9500

Material and processing cost= $15000

Total= $59500

Wexpro, Inc. gains $11500 (59500-48000) by processing further X15. It is a financial advantage to compete with a more complex product. X15 should be processed further.

Plimpton Company produces countertop ovens. Plimpton uses a standard costing system. The standard costing system relies on direc

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hours Required Per Unit = 2

Production Volume = 100,000

Total Hours required = 200,000 units

1. The standard fixed overhead rate will be:

= Fixed overhead/Total hours required

= $770,000/200,000

= $3.85/hour

The standard variable overhead rate will be:

= Variable Overhead /Total Hours required

= $440,000/200000

= $2.22 /hour

2. The applied fixed overhead will be:

= standard fixed overhead rate × actual production × hours required per unit

= 3.85 × 97000 × 2

= $746,900

The applied variable overhead will be:

= standard variable overhead rate × actual production × hours required per unit

= 2.22 × 97000 × 2

= $430,680

The total fixed overhead variance will be:

= Actual overhead - Standard overhead

= $435600 - $430680

= $4920

The total variable overhead variance will be:

= $780000 - $746900

= $33100

3. The spending variance of the total fixed overhead variance will be:

= (3.85 × 200000) - 780000

= -10000

The volume variance of the total fixed overhead variance will be:

= 746900 - (3.85 × 200000)

= -23100

4. The variable overhead spending variance will be:

= (2.22 × 196000) - 430680

= -480

The variable overhead efficiency variances will be:

= 430680 - (2.22 × 196000)

= -4440

5. Based on the information given, the variances will be:

Volume Variance = -23100

Efficiency Variance = -4440

Spending Variance = (-480-10000) = -10480
