Answer:

C) ​performance of the contract is commercially impracticable.

Explanation:

Contract law contemplates certain situations where performing the contract is either difficult or impossible and therefore the party is not liable for breaching the contract.

Commercial impracticability applies to contracts where the performance of at least one party is impracticable and cannot be accomplished.

In this case, Quinn cannot perform his duty since the price of scrap steel increased beyond any reasonable price contemplated in the contract. Since Quinn is not responsible for setting the price of scrap steel, he is not liable for breaching the contract.

Answer:

A. $2.40 per Machine hour

B. Underapplied = $10,000

C. cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000 , overheads (credit) $10,000

Explanation:

A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year

Overhead Rate = Total  Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity

                         =   $300,000 / 125,000 Machine hours

                         =   $2.40 per Machine hour.

B) What is the amount of under- or over applied overhead at December 31st?

Under Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads

Over Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads

Actual Overheads = $322,000

Applied Overheads = $2.40 × 130,000 hours = $ 312,000

Underapplied = $10,000

C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.

cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000

overheads (credit) $10,000
