Answer:
$22
Explanation:
The computation of the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate per hour is shown below:
= Total Factory overhead ÷ Estimated labor hours
where,
Total factory overhead is
= Salary of factory supervisor + Heating and lighting costs for factory + Depreciation on factory equipment
= $37,000 + $22,300 + $5,600
= $64,900
And, the machine hours is 2.900
So, the predetermined overhead rate is
= $64,900 ÷ 2,900
= $22
This is the answer but the same is not given in the options
Answer:
Effect on income= $38,640 increase
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 2,400
Seling price= $36
Variable cost per unit:
Direct materials $4.80
Direct labor 4.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.90
Total variable cost= 10.7
Increase in variable cost= $1.70
Increase in fixed costs= $18,000
<u>Because it is a special offer, there is unused capacity, and other sales will not be affected, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs (besides the variable costs).</u>
Sales= (2,400*36)= 86,400
Total variable cost= 2,400*(10.7 + 1.7)= (29,760)
Increase fixed costs= (18,000)
Effect on income= $38,640 increase
Question: The question is incomplete. See the full question below and the answer.
You are an up-and-coming developer in downtown Seattle and are interested in constructing a building on a site you own. You have collected four bids from prospective contractors. The bids include both a cost ($millions) and time to completion (months):
Contractor Cost Time
A 100 20
B 80 25
C 79 28
D 82 26
The problem now is to decide which contractor to choose. B has indicated that for another $20 million, he could do the job in 18 months, and you have said that you would be indifferent between that bid and the original proposal. In talking with C, you have indicated that you would just as soon pay her an extra $million if she could get the job done in 26 months. Who gets the job? Explain your reasoning. (It may be convenient to plot the four alternatives on a graph.)
Answer:
See the explanation for the answer and find attached of the graph.
Explanation:
So we draw a regression line of Time vs Cost and best fit a curve based on the data given, given in the above figure. The four alternatives are marked in the figure as well. Our main objective is to reduce both time and cost, but that might not be possible So the best thing would be to look for alternatives which lie below the line. If C gets an extra million, then that point would come below the regression line, and it would be a better alternative than D, because for the same time we are getting the job done at a cheaper cost.
Also if B is paid extra 20 million, that point also comes below the regression line, and hence will be a better alternative than A because for the same cost again we are getting the job done earlier. We need to choose between B and C. Now in order to optimise both cost and time, we need to choose a point close to the middle point of the regression line segment in 1st quadrant. We see that C is much more closer to the middle point and hence seems like a better option.
So we choose C as our contractor if we consider B's alternative bid, but if we do not consider B's alternative bid and stick to the original one, we choose B as our contractor.
Answer:
a. What is the MRP? What is the MRC? Should the firm add this delivery vehicle?
marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit
MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150
marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)
MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation? Would adding a vehicle under these circumstances increase the firm's profits?
MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75
MRC = $100
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
Answer:
$4,600
Explanation:
Standard rate = $0.60
Unit produced = 9,000
Favorable spending variance = $800
Material spending variance = [Standard rate - Actual rate) * Unit produced
Material spending variance = [Standard rate*Unit produced - Actual rate*Unit produced
$800 = [$0.6*9000) - Actual cost
Actual cost = [$0.6*9000) - $800
Actual cost = $5,400 - $800
Actual cost = $4,600
