ses to adjoining pubs and stores in Rosenheim. The setup cost of brewing and bottling a batch of beer is the US $1,800 per setup. The annual demand for the Golden Eagle brand of beer is 20,000 bottles. Hacker Microbrewery brews and bottles beer at a rate of 655 bottles per day. The brewery operates 250 days per year.

Answer:

Explanation:

Annual demand (D) = 20000 units

Number of days per year = 250

Demand rate(d) = D/number of days per year = 20000/250 = 80 units

Production rate(p) = 655 units

Set up cost(S) = $1800

Holding cost (H) = $1.50

A) Optimum run size(Q) = sqrt of {2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}

= sqrt of {(2x20000x1800) /1.50[1-(80/655)]}

= Sqrt of [7200000/1.50(1-0.1221) ]

= sqrt of [72000000/(1.50 x 0.8779)]

= sqrt of (7200000/1.31685)

= Sqrt of 5467593.1199

= 2338 units

b) Maximum inventory ( I - max) = (Q/p) (p-d) = (2338/655)(655-80) = 3.5695 x 575 = 2052.46 or rounded off to 2052 units

Average inventory = I-max/2 = 2052/2 = 1026 units

C) Number of production setups per year = D/Q = 20000/2338 = 8.55 or rounded up to 6

d) optimal length of production run  = optimal run size /production rate = 2338/655 = 3.56 or rounded up to 4 days

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Requirement 1. Journal for purchasing Patent:

Jan 01, 2021    Patent Rights (Debit)                    210,000

                                  Cash/Bank (Credit)                            210,000

Requirement 2. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2021:

Dec 31, 2021    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 3. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2022:

Dec 31, 2022    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Requirement 4. Journal for incurring legal fees

Jan 31, 2023     Legal fees                                      30,000

                                    Cash/Bank                                          30,000

Requirement 5. Journal for amortization expense for the year ended 31 Dec, 2023:

Dec 31, 2023    Amortization expense - Patent    35,000

                                   Accumulated amortization                 35,000

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

Since Weaver corporation purchases a patent, it costs the company cash or bank balance. As the patent is a non-current intangible asset, it is a debit. On the other hand, as cash decreases due to the purchase of patent, the cash is a credit. In this journal, an asset (Non-current asset) increases, and another asset (Current asset) decreases. There will be no effect on the total asset.

Requirement 2, 3 and 5. All the calculations will be the same as it is a straight-line method of amortization. Straight-line depreciation (amortization) is a method of expense on an asset over a long period. The expense is the same over the period as the expense is calculated as the total cost divided by the useful number of years. Again, as the patent is an intangible asset; therefore, the asset has to be amortized instead of depreciated.

The amortization expense of patent is = $210,000/6 = $35,000

Since, the company estimates the patent's useful life will be 6 years. Therefore, the amortization expense will be $35,000 for each year.

Requirement 4: Since legal fees is an expense, the company pays for this due to the occurrence of legal issues. The expense decreases the cash; therefore, it is a credit. On the contrary, the legal fees are a debit as it decreases net income. The legal fees, however, does not affect the amortization expense as it is not adding to the cost of the patent.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

B.) $11.90

Explanation:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate are based on the estimates made by the company.

So the calculation should be:

Estimated MOH of $238,000<em> divided by</em> Estimated Machine Hours of 20,000.

Giving us the result of $11.90

den301095 [7]

The spending that would occur during the third round of spending if the marginal propensity to consume (MPC) was 0.6 will be $420 billion.

  • Increase in expenditure = $700 billion.
  • Marginal propensity to consume = 0.6

The amount of spending based on the information given will be:

= 0.6 × $700 billion

= $420 billion.

Therefore, the correct option is $420 billion.
