ctivity-Based Costing Casual Cuts Inc. has total estimated factory overhead for the year of $225,000, divided into four activiti
VMariaS [17]

Answer:The activity rate for each activity of Company CC is:

Activity rate for cutting is $60 per dlh.

Activity rate for sewing is $15 per dlh.

Activity rate setup is $80 per setup.

Activity rate for inspection is $65 per inspection.

Explanation: Activity based costing trace overhead cost to each activity and absorbed at a rate for each activity rather than a rate per direct labour hour

Calculate activity rate for cutting

Cutting = cost of cutting/ Number of labour hours

$90,000/1500 = $60 per direct labour hour

Calculate the cost of sewing

Sewing= cost of sewing/ Number of labour hours

$22,500/1500 = $15 per direct labour hour

Calculate the cost of set up

Setup = cost of set up/ number of set ups

$80,000/ 1000 = $80 per set up

Calculate the cost of inspection

Inspection = cost of inspection/ number of inspection

$32,500/ 500 = $65 per inspection

Equipment maintenance costs for manufacturing explosion-proof pressure switches are projected to be $125,000 in year 1 and incre
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs at an interest rate of 10% per year, compounded semiannually is $127,432

Explanation:

In order to calculate the equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs at an interest rate of 10% per year, compounded semiannually we would have to calculate the following formula:

equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs= P(i(1+i)∧n/(1+i)∧n-1

The rate of interest i would be as follows:

rate of interest i=(1+10%/2)-1

rate of interest i=0.1025*100

rate of interest i=10.25%

The present value P would be calculated as follows:

present value P=$125,000(1-(1+1/100)∧5 (1+10.25/100)∧-5/(10.25/100-1/100)

present value P=$125,000*3.84

present value P=$480,000

Therefore,

equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs=$480,000*(10.25/100 (1+10.25/100)∧5/(1+10.25/100)∧5-1)

equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs=$480,000*0.2654

equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs=$127,432

The equivalent uniform annual worth of the maintenance costs at an interest rate of 10% per year, compounded semiannually is $127,432
