Answer:

The correct answer is D. the firm has achieved the lowest possible average cost of production.

Explanation:

The minimum efficient scale is called the value of production for which the average long-term cost is minimal and also coincides with the marginal cost.

On the minimum efficient scale it is said that we are in the smallest possible production in which a long-term competitive company would be interested in producing. Below that value, the company would go into losses and should close.

The curve of long-term average costs is obtained from the envelope of the infinite possible curves of short-term average costs for different plant sizes, that is, for different levels of capital. From this envelope, a U-shaped average cost curve is obtained, at which minimum, precisely, the minimum efficient scale is found.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

1) Plant-wide overhead rate = Total estimated overhead ÷ Direct labor hours

                                           = $728,900 ÷ 10,000

                                           = $73 per DLH

2) Product Y

manufacturing overhead cost = $73 × 8,700 = $635,100

Product Z

manufacturing overhead cost = $73 × 1300 = $94,900

3) Machining ⇒ $227,000 ÷ 11,000 = $21 per MH

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

              <u>Using ABC</u>

Step 1: Identify cost activities and their cost drivers

- Machining ⇒ Machine hours

- Machine Setups ⇒ No. of setups

- Production design ⇒ No. of products

- General factory ⇒ Direct Labor hours

Step 2: Assign overhead costs to activities identified

- Machining ⇒ $227,000

- Machine Setups ⇒ $153,900

- Production design ⇒ $91,000

- General factory ⇒ $257,000

                      <em>Sum</em> = <em>$728,900</em>

Step 3: Calculate Total Estimated Cost Driver Activity

Machining ⇒ 11,000 MHs

- Machine Setups ⇒ 270 setups

- Production design ⇒ 2 products

- General factory ⇒ 10,000 DLHs

Step 4: Calculate overhead rates

- Machining ⇒ $227,000 ÷ 11,000 = $21 per MH

- Machine Setups ⇒ $153,900 ÷ 270 = $570 per setup

- Production design ⇒ $91,000 ÷ 2 = $45,500 per product

- General factory ⇒ $257,000 ÷ 10,000 = $26 per DLH

Step 5: Apply overheads to product

Product Y

- Machining ⇒ 8,700 × $21 per MH =$182,700

- Machine Setups ⇒ 60 × $570 per setup = $34,200

- Production design ⇒ 1 × $45,500 per product = $45,500

- General factory ⇒ 8,700 × $26 per DLH = $226,200

                                                   <em>Sum</em> = <em>$488,600</em>

Product Z

- Machining ⇒ 2,300 × $21 per MH =$48,300

- Machine Setups ⇒ 210 × $570 per setup = $119,700

- Production design ⇒ 1 × $45,500 per product = $45,500

- General factory ⇒ 1300 × $26 per DLH = $33,800

                                                  <em>Sum</em> = <em>$243,700</em>

<em></em>

                   <u>Using Plant-wide overhead </u>

Plant-wide overhead rate = Total estimated overhead ÷ Direct labor hours

                                           = $728,900 ÷ 10,000

                                           = $73 per DLH

Product Y

manufacturing overhead cost = $73 × 8,700 = $635,100

Product Z

manufacturing overhead cost = $73 × 1300 = $94,900
