Answer:
From a cost savings perspective the switch should be made in-house
Explanation:
In deciding whether Cool Systems should make or buy the switch , we calculate the relevant applicable to both situations,then compare t see which option saves costs.
The cost of making the switch is calculated thus:
Direct materials per unit $5
Direct labor $3
Variable overhead <u>$6</u>
Total relevant cost <u> $14</u>
The cost of purchasing the switch from another supplier is $15
From the above analysis, it is preferable to make the switch in-house as that option saves $1($15-$14) per switch.
However, it might be that we need to look beyond cost savings sometimes,purchasing the switch from another supplier might be viable if the quality of the outside switch is better or that the outside supplier can deliver in timely fashion.
Answer:
$38,750 Favorable
Explanation:
Fixed overhead absorption rate:
= Fixed Overhead Costs for March (static budget) ÷ Production(static budget)
= $387,500 ÷ 31,000
= 12.5 per unit
Fixed overhead production−volume variance:
= Amount actually applied - Amount budgeted
= (12.5 × 34,100) - $387,500
= $426,250 - $387,500
= $38,750 Favorable
Answer:
January $151,575
February $248,675
March $305,525
Explanation:
The computation of the cash collections is shown below:
January month
= January credit sales × month of sale collection percentage
= $202,100 × 75%
= $151,575
February month
= January credit sales × following month collection percentage + February credit sales × month of sale collection percentage
= $202,100 × 25% + $264,200 × 75%
= $50,525 + $198,150
= $248,675
March month
= February credit sales × following month collection percentage + February credit sales × month of sale collection percentage
= $264,200 × 25%+ $319,300 × 75%
= $66,050 + $239,475
= $305,525
Answer:
a) $22,010
b) $3,780
c) $25,790
Explanation:
a) In calculating the value of inventory still left, the total value needs to be calculated first,
= (80 freezers * $540) + $820 ( transport fees)
= 43,200 + 820
= $44,020
40 out of 80 freezers have not been sold so,
= 40/80 * 44,020
= $22,010
b) In calculating the profit, subtract the expenses from the sales
Sales = 40 * 700
= $28,000
= 28,000 - Cost of refrigerators - commission of 6% of sales - advertising - installation
= 28,000 - 22,010 - (28,000*0.06) - 180 - 350
= $3,780
c) The amount remitted by the consignor will be,
= Sales - commission - advertising - installation
= 28,000 - (28,000 * 0.06) - 180 - 350
= $25,790
