February               40,000                   74,500

March                    37,500                  65,900

April                      39,000                   68,750

May                       42,300                  74,000

June                     35,000                   64,500

Answer:

Millco Inc.

The approximate fixed cost component of the monthly maintenance costs is:

$51,600.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Months           Machine Hours    Maintenance Costs

January                 30,000                  $67,500

February               40,000                    74,500

March                    37,500                   65,900

April                      39,000                    68,750

May                      42,300                   74,000

June                     35,000                   64,500

High-low:

May                       42,300                  $74,000 for highest

January                30,000                    67,500 for lowest

Difference            12,300                    $6,500

Variable costs = $0.53 ($6,500/12,300)

Using May, the total variable cost = 42,300 * $0.53 = $22,419

Fixed cost = $51,581 ($74,000 - $22,419)

or approximately $51,600

Uncollectible accounts are determined by the​ percent-of-sales method to be ​% of credit sales. How much is​ uncollectible-accou
lesya [120]

Answer:

$1,160

Explanation:

<em>Hie, I have attached the full question as an image below.</em>

The firm usually makes provision for certain amounts so as not to overstate their profits. This expected as it is prudent than reporting profits that might never occur. Provisions of Uncollectible accounts are examples of such amounts.

An increase in Uncollectible amount compared to the opening balance is treated as an Expense in the Income Statement whilst a decrease is treated as an Income.

For this question, we are told that Uncollectible accounts are determined by the​ percent-of-sales method to be ​4% of credit sales. Thus calculation of the 2012 uncollectible-account expense is as follows :

Credit Sales - 2012 = $44,000

Beginning Balance in allowances = $600

Therefore,

Uncollectable Amount (2012) = Credit Sales x percent-of-sales

                                                 = $44,000 x 4%

                                                 = $1,760

The Uncollectable amount has increased by $1,160 ($1,760 - $600)

Conclusion :

The collectible-account expense for 2012 is $1,160

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Materials total cost equal to 2,000 the correct option is C

C. $2,000

Explanation:

<u>Conversion Cost</u>

<u>conversion cost</u> = labor + overhead

CC = 5,000 + 4,400 = <u>9,400</u>

complete during the period   1,000 units

ending inventory                       200 units 50%

<u>Equivalent units:</u>

completed + ending worked portion

1,000 + 200 x 50% = 1,000 + 100 = <u>1,100</u>

CC equivalent unit cost  9,400/1,100 x 100 = 854.55

<u>Materials</u>

<u>Cost     $ 12,000</u>

<u>Equivalent units</u>

completed  1,000

ending          200 at 100%

completed + ending times added portion

1,000 + 200 x 100 % = 1,200

Equivalent unit cost: 12,000 / 1,200 = 10

Ending inventory 200 x 10 =         2,000
