EcoFabrics has budgeted overhead costs of $1,039,500. It has allocated overhead on a plantwide basis to its two products (wool a

nd cotton) using direct labor hours which are estimated to be 495,000 for the current year. The company has decided to experiment with activity-based costing and has created two activity cost pools and related activity cost drivers. These two cost pools are cutting (cost driver is machine hours) and design (cost driver is number of setups). Overhead allocated to the cutting cost pool is $396,000 and $643,500 is allocated to the design cost pool. Additional information related to these pools is as follows.
Wool Cotton Total
Machine hours 110,000 110,000 220,000
Number of setups 1,100 550 1,650
1. Calculate the overhead rate using activity based costing.
2. Determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing.
3. Calculate the overhead rate using traditional approach.
4. What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach, assuming direct labor hours were incurred evenly between the wool and cotton?

Answer:

1. Cutting $1.80 per machine hour

Design $390 per setup

2. Wool product line $627,000

Cotton Product line $412,500

3. Overhead rate $2.10

4. Wool Product line $519,750

Cotton Product line $519,750

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the overhead rate using activity based costing.

Overhead rate using the activity based costing

Cutting = Overhead / Total Machine hours

= $396,000 / 220,000

= $1.80 per machine hour

Design = Overhead / Number of setups

= $643,500 / 1,650

= $390 per setup

2. Calculation to determine the amount of overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line using activity-based costing

Overhead allocated to the wool product line and the cotton product line

Wool product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (1,100 * $390)

Wool product line= $198,000 + $429,000

Wool product line= $627,000

Cotton Product line = (110,000 * $1.80) + (550 * $390)

Cotton Product line= $198,000 + $214,500

Cotton Product line= $412,500

3.Calculation to determine the overhead rate using traditional approach.

Overhead rate using traditional approach

Overhead rate = Total Overhead / Direct labor hours

Overhead rate= $1,039,500 / 495,000

Overhead rate= $2.10

4. Calculation to determine What amount of overhead would be allocated to the wool and cotton product lines using the traditional approach

Overhead allocated using the traditional method

Wool Product line = $1,039,500 / 2

Wool Product line= $519,750

Cotton Product line = $1,039,500 / 2

Cotton Product line= $519,750

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that P = ATC, P>ATC, MR =MC, or MR>MC at the optimal quantity.  Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is the efficient scale. True False

This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for shirts. True False

Explanation:

In the long run, monopolistically-competitive entities produce at a level where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal. This makes it impossible for individual companies to sell their products at prices above the average cost. This situation means that monopolistically-competitive companies will always earn zero economic profit in the long run.

You want to invest $20,000 today to accumulate $32,000 for graduate school. If you can invest at an interest rate of 10% compoun
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

N = 5 years

Explanation:

At first we have to calculate the number of periods to determine at which part of the table we should look at.

Given,

PV = $20,000

FV = $32,000

Interest rate, i = 0.10 (10%)

Number of periods, n = ?

We know, Future value, FV = PV × (1+i)^{n}

or, $32,000 = $20,000 × (1 + 0.10)^{n}

or, 1.6 = 1.10^{n}

As the factor is 1.6, we will look at the following image which is the FV factor table to find the number of periods.

We can find it in a different way too.

log 1.6 = n log 1.10

or, n = \frac{log 1.6}{log 1.10}

or, n = 4.93 years

Therefore, n = 5 years

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Higher prices.

Explanation:

Expansionary monetary policy seeks to grow the economy by increasing the money supply, lowering interest rates, and stimulating demand. As we know from the supply/demand curves, higher demand leads to higher price levels.

Sarah has a certain amount of money budgeted for tea and snacks during the work week, and she always aims to spend her entire bu
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: 5 cups of tea

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is what an individual, firm or government forgoes in order to get something else. For example, an individual might have $2. A pen costs $2 likewise a notebook. If the person decides to buy the pen, the opportunity cost is the notebook which he or she did not buy.

With the money Sarah has, spending her entire budget will give her 40 cups of tea or 8 snacks. This implies that for 1 snack, the opportunity cost is (40/8) = 5 cups of tea
