Answer: 75,000 units

Explanation:

Come up with an expression to solve this.

Assume the budgeted production needed is P.

P needs 2 pounds of raw materials per unit so raw materials needed are 2P.

Beginning raw materials for February have to be 30% of the needs of February;

= 30% * 2P

= 0.6P

Ending raw materials for February have to be 30% of March needs so;

= 30% * 100,000 * 2 pounds

= ‭60,000‬ pounds

So;

Budgeted raw materials purchase for February = Raw materials needed + Ending raw materials - Beginning raw materials

165,000 = 2P + 60,000 - 0.6P

1.4P = 165,000 - 60,000

P = (165,000 - 60,000) / 1.4

= 75,000 units

Answer:

A. Unaffected

B. Unaffected

C. Understated

D. Overstated

Explanation:

C. Understated.

Understated balance is one that is reported as having a lesser balance than it actually does. example of what could cause the situation in which cash is understated is that when check is written on the disbursing bank on the last day of December with a credit to cash, and an associated debit to some expense account so as to decrease reported profits and taxes be it (direct or indirect tjaxes) for the year.

Another example is when a utility bill that is suppose to be paid by the last day of the month but failed to record the expenses, under the accrual basis of accounting, the company should recognize the expenses now even though the bill is not yet due. Until the bill is recorded, the utilities payable is understated

d. Overstated.

An overstated balance is an account balance that is reported as having a greater balance than it actually does, example of such situation is that in which an employee has misappropriated funds during the year, and draw a check transferring funds to the account with the shortage so as to cover the shortage. As of December 31, the shortage is replaced, with no reduction as yet recorded in the account on which it is drawn.

In second example of understated, expense account is understated and because of this net income is overstated.

A flexible budget for 15,000 hours revealed variable manufacturing overhead of $90,000 and fixed manufacturing overhead of $120,

Ket [755]

Answer:

B. $270,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the total overhead cost is shown below:

But before that first we have to find out the variable overhead per hour which is

= $90,000 ÷ 15,000

= $6 per hour

Now

Variable overhead for 25,000 hours is

= $6 per hour × 25,000

= $150,000

So,

Total overhead cost is

= Variable overhead for 25,000 hours + Fixed overhead cost

= $150,000 + $120,000

= $270,000

hence, the correct option is B. $270,000

never [62]

Answer:

Henderson = $1,200

Central States = $1,000

Based on the calculations, Central States Railroad is better at a lower cost than Henderson

Explanation:

The question is to do an evaluation of the costs of use Henderson Bulk Trucking Company or the Central States Railroad

Step 1) Determine the cost of using Henderson

What is the cost per tank truck = $600

What is the capacity in gallons = 700 galloons

However, since XYZ Chemical needs to ship 9,600 gallons, it means it will make use of 2 trucks from Henderson as follows

The cost of Henderson Bulk Trucking = $600 x 2 = $1,200

Step 2) Determine the cost of using Central Railroad

What is the cost per tank truck = $1000

What is the capacity in gallons = 23,500 galloons

since XYZ Chemical needs to ship 9,600 gallons, it means it will make use of only one of the trucks

The cost of Central Roilroad= $1000 x 1 = $1,000

Based on the calculations, Central States Railroad is better at a lower cost than Henderson

if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder poin

Ronch [10]

please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both

Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units

when safety stock =100, Reorder point= 700 units

Explanation:

Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the point of inventoryset by a busness in which it replenishes its stock of items.

given:

Average demand= 200

lead time = 3

when safety stock =1

Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

= (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units

when safety stock = 100

Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock

= (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units
