Answer:
The correct answer is option a.
Explanation:
The monthly total revenue is $5,000.
The marginal cost of producing 19th, 20th and 21st unit is $200.
Laura will earn profit if the price is able to cover marginal cost.
Total revenue is the product of price and quantity.
Price of cake when Laura produces 19 units
= 
= 
= $263.15
Price of cake when Laura produces 20 units
=
= 
= $250
Price of cake when Laura produces 21 units
=
=
= $238.09
So we see that the price is able to cover marginal cost till 21st units, so Laura should produce more than 20 units and go on producing till price becomes equal to marginal cost.
Answer:
The company's degree of operating leverage is closest to $840000
Explanation:
Selling price per unit = Sales revenue / No. of bags sold
= $1560000/200000 bags = $7.8 per bag
Variable cost per unit=Total variable expenses/No. of units
= $840000/200000 units = $4.2 per bag
Company’s unit contribution margin = Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit
= $7.8 per unit-$4.2 per unit = $3.6 per unit
Company's degree of operating leverage = Variables manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense
=$660000+$180000 = $840000
A. The items that fall under the DIRECT MATERIAL category include the following:
1. Film cost for the X ray machine.
2. Electricity cost for the X ray department.
3. Maintenance and repair on the X ray machine.
4. X ray department supplies.
The items that fall under the DIRECT LABOUR category include the following:
1. Salaries of the X ray machine technician.
2. Salary of the X ray technicians' supervisor.
The items that fall under the SERVICE OVERHEAD category include the following:
1. Wages for the hospital janitorial personnel.
2. Property taxes on the hospital building.
3. Depreciation on the hospital building.
4. Depreciation on the X ray department equipment [Manufacturing overhead]
B. The costs that are incurred during the production of a good or service are usually divided into three categories, which are direct material, direct labour and overhead costs.
Direct materials refer to those materials used in the production process which can be traced to a particular unit or department. A good example of a direct material is the raw materials used in the production unit for the production of a particular product.
Direct labour refers to the salaries and wages of those employees that are directly involved in the production process or in carrying out a particular operation. An example of a direct labour for the production of chocolates is the salary of those workers in the production unit.
Overhead cost refers to all other costs that are incurred during the process of production.These costs can not be traced to a specific department per say, but it cover the whole business unit. Overhead cost is of two types: administrative and manufacturing overheads. Examples of overhead costs are rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, etc.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of composite score for each location is shown below:-
Composite score for A is
= 0.15 × 89 + .20 × 75 + 0.18 × 92 + 0.27 × 92 + 0.10 × 93 + 0.10 × 90
= 88.05
Composite score for B is
= 0.15 × 78 + .20 × 93 + 0.18 × 90 + 0.27 × 93 + 0.10 × 97 + 0.10 × 96
= 90.91
Composite score for C is
= 0.15 × 84 + .20 × 98 + 0.18 × 87 + 0.27 × 82 + 0.10 × 84 + 0.10 × 95
= 87.90
Therefore for computing the composite score for each location we simply multiply weight with A location and in the same manner of A, B and C
b. The maximum composite score from A, B and C is B
Answer:
D. $ 367.500
Explanation:
We have to first compute the total direct labor cost. This is done by multiplying the estimated direct labor hours with the hourly rate.
Total Direct Labour costs $ 17.50 per hour * 15,000 hours = $ 262,500
Estimated manufacturing overhead per the data in the question is 140 % of Direct labor cost,
Estimated manufacturing overhead is $ 262,500 * 140 % = $ 367,500
