Answer: $21 per direct labor hour.
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the predetermined overhead rate that is used will be calculated as:
= Manufacturing overhead / Direct labor
where,
Manufacturing overhead = 5460
Direct labor = 3900/15 = 260 hours
Therefore, predetermined overhead rate:
= 5460/260
= $21 per direct labor hour.
Answer:
Each company drills two wells and experiences a profit of $22 million.
Explanation:
If each company acts independently and drills two oil wells each they will have a total of 4 wells each worth (60 million ÷ 4= $15 million.
Each company will have two oil wells which equals (2* 15 million = $30 million)
But each company incurs cost of $4 million per well. That is total cost of $8 million.
Therefore the profit for each company will be $30 million - $8 million= $22 million
Answer:
Effect on income= $4,500 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Special offer: 9,000 units of product S51 for $20.50 a unit.
Direct materials $ 3.10
Direct labor 1.50
Variable overhead 6.40
The customer would like modifications made to product S51 that would increase the variable costs by $5.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $36,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value.
<u>Because it is a special offer, we will not have into account the fixed costs.</u>
Unitary variable cost= 3.1 + 1.5 + 6.4 + 5= $16
Investment= 36,000
Effect on income= 9,000* (20.5 - 16) - 36,000
Effect on income= 40,500 - 36,000
Effect on income= $4,500 increase
