EcoSacks manufactures cloth shopping bags. The controller is preparing a budget for the coming year and asks for your assistance

. The following costs and other data apply to bag production:
Direct materials per bag 1.0 yard cotton at $4 per yard 0.2 yards canvas finish at $12 per yard Direct labor per bag 0.5 hour at $18 per hour Overhead per bag Total overhead per unit $3.40

You learn that equipment costs and building occupancy are fixed and are based on a normal production of 600,000 units per year. Other overhead costs are variable. Plant capacity is sufficient to produce 750,000 units per year.

Labor costs per hour are not expected to change during the year. However, the cotton supplier has informed EcoSacks that it will impose a 20 percent price increase at the start of the coming budget period. No other costs are expected to change.

During the coming budget period, EcoSacks expects to sell 540,000 bags. Finished goods inventory is targeted to increase from the current balance of 120,000 units to 210,000 units to prepare for an expected sales increase the year after next as a result of legislation in several states regarding plastic bags. Production will occur evenly throughout the year. Inventory levels for cotton and canvas are expected to remain unchanged throughout the year. There is no work-in-process inventory.

Required

Answer:

A.

Full Year production plan = 630,000

And Monthly production = 630,000 / 12 = 52,500 units

B.

Total Material costs = $4,536,000

C.

Total Labor Costs = $5,670,000

D.

Overheads = $2,142,000

Explanation:

Ecosacks

Production plan

Opening Stock = 120,000

Planned sales volume = 540,000

Therefore production required to cover sales = sales plan minus Opening stock = 420,000 units

Expected closing stock = 210,000

We will have to produce additional 210,000 units to achieve this closing stock

= 420,000 + 210,000 = 630,000 units.

Production is expected to stay even all year through;

This implies monthly production = 630,000 / 12 = 52,500 units

B.

Material costs.

Cotton: 1 yard makes 1 bag and it is priced at 20% higher from last year ($4 x 120%) per yard

Cotton costs = 630,000units x 1yd x ($4 x 120%) = $3,024,000

Canvas Finish: 0.2 yard required for 1 bag and it is priced at $12 per yard

Canvas finish cost = 630,000 x 0.2 x 12 = $1,512,000

Total Material costs = $4,536,000

C.

Labor costs = 0.5hr per bag and it costs $18 per hour

Labour costs = 0.5 x 18 x 630,000

= $5,670,000

D.

Overhead costs = $3.40 x 630,000 = $2,142,000

Suppose that the central bank must follow a rule that requires it to increase the money supply when the price level falls and de
Ann [662]

Answer:

A). Decrease the money supply so interest rates rise.

Explanation:

This could be explained simply because change in money supply results in changes in price levels and/or a change in supply of goods and services. An increase in money supply results in a decrease in the value of money because an increase in money supply causes a rise in inflation. As inflation rises, the purchasing power, or the value of money, decreases.

A change in interest rates is one way to make that correspondence happen. A fall in interest rates increases the amount of money people wish to hold, while a rise in interest rates decreases that amount. A change in prices is another way to make the money supply equal the amount demanded.

On October 1, year 14, Park Co. purchased 200 of the $1,000-face-value, 10% bonds of Ott, Inc., for $220,000, including accrued
lana [24]

Answer:

Bond receivable - Ott Inc 200,000

Premium on B.R Ott Inc       14,400

Interest receivables             10,000

Net:                                     224,400

Explanation:

As Park Co uses straight line method, we don't have to solve for the present value of the bond we directly label the difference between cost and face value as premium or discount accordingly. Premium when above and discount when lower.

accrued interest:

200 bonds x $1,000 each x 10% x 3/12 = 5,000

220,0000 cost - 5,000 interest - 200,000 face value = 15,000 bond premium

Balance at December year 15:

the interest payable will be for the entire period:

200,000 x 10% / 2 = 10,000

the premium will be amortized for 3 month.

and it has outstanding 75 month to mature from October 1st

15,000 x 3 / 75 months = 600

carrying value 15,000 - 600 = 14,400
