Smithson, Inc. produces two types of gas grills: a family model and a deluxe model. Smithson’s controller has decided to use a p

lant-wide overhead rate based on direct labor costs. The president of the company recently heard of activity-based costing and wants to see how the results would differ if this system were used. Two activity cost pools were developed: machining and machine setup. Presented below is information related to the company’s operations:
Family Model Deluxe Model
Direct labor costs $75,000 $150,000
Machine hours 2,000 2,000
Setup hours 200 800
Total estimated overhead costs are $450,000. Overhead cost allocated to the machining activity cost pool is $270,000 and $180,000 is allocated to the machine setup activity cost pool.
a. Compute the overhead rate using the traditional (plantwide) approach.
b. Compute the overhead rates using the activity-based costing approach.
c. Determine the difference in allocation between the two approaches.

Answer:

A.) Overhead rate = 200% of direct labor cost.

B.) $67.5 per machine hour ; $180 per setup

C.) The traditional costing applies overhead burden rate equally to all products which might sometimes give a vague picture of production cost especially that which is applied to each different product.

With the activity based costing method we could see that machining activity setup rate about 26 times the machining activity rate.

Explanation:

Overhead rate using the plantwide approach

Overhead rate = (estimated overhead cost ÷ direct labor cost)

Overhead rate = ($450,000) ÷ (75,000 +150,000)

Overhead rate = $450,000 ÷ $225,000

Overhead rate = 200% of direct labor cost.

B.) Using activity costing

machining activity cost pool = $270,000

machine setup activity cost pool = $180,000

Total Machining activity hours = (2000 + 2000) = 4000

Total machine setup activity hours = (200 + 800) = 1000

Machining activity rate = (cost /hours) :

$270,000/4000 = $67.5 per machine hour

Machining activity setup rate = (cost /hours) :

$180,000/ 1000 = $180 per setup

Suppose a family has saved enough for a 10 day vacation (the only one they will be able to take for 10 years) and has a utility
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2 Days

Explanation:

First, there is the need to rewrite the utility function for clarity

U=V^{1/2}

1. The Probability of Falling ill by someone in the family is given as 20%

2. If someone should fall ill, the total number of days that would be spoiled is calculated as:

Total number of vacation= 10 days x Probability to fall ill = 20%

= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days

This means if someone should fall ill based on the probability, then 2 out of the total 10 days can be ruined

3. The number of days for vacation days to enjoy is 10-2 = 8 days

This means if the family gives up 2 days of probable illness, they can still enjoy their vacation.

V= 2 days

Increasing the amount of money in the economy results in
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

By increasing the amount of money in the economy, the central bank encourages private consumption. Increasing the money supply also decreases the interest rate, which encourages lending and investment. The increase in consumption and investment leads to a higher aggregate demand.

Explanation:

It is important for policymakers to make credible announcements. If private agents (consumers and firms) believe that policymakers are committed to growing the economy, the agents will anticipate future prices to be higher than they would be otherwise. The private agents will then adjust their long-term plans accordingly, such as by taking out loans to invest in their business. But if the agents believe that the central bank’s actions are short-term, they will not alter their actions and the effect of the expansionary policy will be minimized.

A.  Gross Estate                                                      8600000

Less: deductions (funeral & administrative tax)    70000

B.  Taxable estate                                                   8530000

 

c.  Gift-Adjustable Taxable estate value:  

       Taxable estate                                                 8530000

Charities will be deucted from tax calculation      1000000

         gift-adjusted taxable estate value                  7530000

D.  estate would be subject to tax                         7530000

E.  estate tax liability Calculated below                 876000

 

For estate more than 53400000 tax will be charged at 40%  

So, same is 40% of excess on                       53400000  

Taxable estate before threshold after deducting 53400000 from estate that would be subject to Tax  2190000

Tax at 40% of excess value                           876000
