Answer:

1.$4.29 per cases

2. Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3a. Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Explanation:

1. Computation for the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa using Plantwide overhead rate

Using this formula

Overhead cost=Total overhead cost/Total volume

Let plug in the formula

First step is to calculate the Total overhead cost

Total overhead cost = $130,800 + $349,000 +$206,000

Total overhead cost =$685,800

Second step is to calculate the Total volume

Total volume= 35,000 + 125,000 cases

Total volume=160,000 cases

Now let calculate the Overhead cost

Overhead cost=$685,800/160,000 cases

Overhead cost=$4.29 per cases (rounded)

Therefore since we are making use of plantwide rate which means that same overhead cost of the amount of $4.29 per cases will be assigned to each of the two case .

2. Calculation to determine the total cost per case for the two products

Extra Fine Family Style

Direct materials + Direct Labor $ 10.00 $ 9.00

Add Overhead $4.29 $4.29

Manufacturing cost per case $ 14.29 $ 13.39

Therefore the the total cost per case for the two products will be:

Extra Fine $14.29

Family Style $13.29

3-A Calculation to determine the gross profit per case for each product.

Extra Fine Family Style

Selling price per case $ 19.00 $ 13.00

Less Manufacturing cost per case $14.29 $13.29

Gross profit (loss) per case $ 4.71. $ (0.29 )

Therefore the gross profit per case for each product will be ;

Extra Fine $4.71

Family Style $0.29

3-b. Based on the above Calculation What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may may inturn make make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where either the cost are not reduced or where the price.

Younie Corporation has two divisions: the South Division and the West Division. The corporation's net operating income is $95,40
zalisa [80]

Answer:

$122,500

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions

First step is to calculate Total segment margin

Total segment margin = $43,600 + $174,300

Total segment margin= $217,900

Now let calculate the Common fixed expense

Common fixed expense = $217,900-$95,400

Common fixed expense $122,500

Therefore the amount of the common fixed expense not traceable to the individual divisions is $122,500

Yo-Down Inc. produces yogurt. Information related to the company’s yogurt production follows:
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Yo.Down Inc.

Determination of Support Department 1 costs to be allocated to each production department:

                                      Production        Production         Production

                                      Department 1    Department 2   Department 3

Support Department 1    $96,000            $6,000           $18,000

Explanation:

a) Cost allocation of Support Department 1:

1) Rate of allocation = Total Support Department 1's costs divided by the total of the cost drivers

= $120,000/2000 = $60 per cost driver

2) Production Department 1 = $60 x 1,600 = $96,000

Production Department 2 = $60 x 100 = $6,000

Production Department 3 = $60 x 300 = $18,000

3) The direct method is one of the three methods for allocating support or service department costs to the production departments in order to ensure the full inclusion of overhead costs in the production costs.  As the name goes, the costs of service departments are allocated to only production departments individually.  This method is not like the step method of cost allocation where the costs of service departments are allocated to other service departments, starting with the department with the highest costs, followed by the next, until all the costs of service departments are allocated to production.  However, no service department whose total costs have been allocated will be allocated any costs.  The last method of cost allocation is the reciprocal method, which is a more complicated method that produces more accurate results, by using equations to establish relationships between the departments.
