Answer :

Stock reorder point is 3588 pounds

Step-by-step explanation :

Stock Reorder Point = ( Lead time × Average daily sales ) + Safety stock

We are given, lead time = 10 days , total sugar consumption is 8280 pounds in 30 days

\implies Average\thinspace daily\thinspace sales=\frac{Total\thinspace sugar\thinspace consumed}{No.\thinspace of\thinspace days}\\\\\implies Average\thinspace daily\thinspace sales=\frac{8280}{30}=276\thinspace pounds

Safety stock = 3 days per usage

\implies Exact\thinspace amount\thinspace of\thinspace safety\thinspace stock=3\cdot Average\thinspace daily\thinspace sales = 3\cdot 276 = 828\thinspace pounds

Now, Reorder point is given by :

Stock\thinspace Reorder\thinspace Point = ( Lead\thinspace time \cdot Average\thinspace daily\thinspace sales ) + Safety\thinspace stock\\\implies Stock\thinspace Reorder\thinspace Point = 10\cdot 276\thinspace +\thinspace 828 = 3588\thinspace pounds

Hence, Stock Reorder Point = 3588 pounds

The total product cost per unit under absorption costing is: $75.

In absorption costing, the cost of every unit produced is worked out by adding up the direct cost of materials, direct labor, variable overhead, and the fixed overhead. Unlike in the case of marginal costing where the fixed cost is treated as period cost, in absorption costing, fixed cost is treated as a product cost.

The cost per unit

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Ending WIP= $13,500

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the factory overhead:</u>

Factory overhead= 25,000*0.75= $18,750

<u>Now, the ending WIP inventory:</u>

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

68,250 = 11,000 + 27,000 + 25,000 + 18,750 - Ending WIP

Ending WIP= $13,500
