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

Which of the following relies the most on the health of the economy?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: Trade Industries

Explanation:

Trade industries survive as long as people and businesses can afford to trade goods and services. If entities are unable to afford consumption for a reason such as a decline in income, the trade industries will suffer.

When the economy is not healthy, income levels of people will reduce and so trade industries will suffer as opposed to a healthy economy where entities can afford goods and services which will ensure the survival of trade industries.

In December 2019, Todd, a cash basis taxpayer, paid $1,200 fire insurance for the calendar year 2020 on a building he held for r
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

D) Todd should include the $500 in 2020 gross income in accordance with the tax benefit rule.

Explanation:

Since Todd is a cash basis taxpayer, he included the $1,500 insurance premium in his 2019 tax return. Cash basis taxpayer report revenues or expenses when the cash is received or paid, not when the service is provided.

Since he received a $500 refund in 2020, he should include it in his 2020 tax return. As a cash basis taxpayer, any money received is considered income.

andriy [413]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

<em>Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows: </em>

Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory

Equivalent units

<em>Direct material:</em>

Balance of work = 100-80 = 20%

Equivalent of work to be added = 20% × 40,000 = 8,000

<em>Labour</em>

Balance of work = 100-50= 50%

Equivalent of work to be added =50% × 40,000 = 20,000 units

                                    <em>Equivalent of work to be added(units)</em>

Material                               8000                                  

Labour                               20,000
