There is a 3 percent defect rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the d

efects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $8 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 30 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit $ b.

Answer:

1a. $2.67 cost per unit

1b. $0.3 cost per unit

1c. Yes

Explanation:

1a. Calculation for what will be the inspection cost per unit If an inspector is hired

The following details were given in the question.

Defective average =3/100= 0.03

inspection rate = 30 per hour

Cost of inspector = 8 per hour

Correction cost = $10 each

Using this formula

Hired inspector =Cost per hour/Current production rate per hour

Let plug in the formula

Hired inspector=8 per hour/30 rate per hour

Hired inspector =0.267×100

Hired inspector=$2.67 cost per unit

1b. Calculation for what will be the defective cost per unit If an inspector is not hired

Using this Formula

No inspector=Defect rate %/Cost per defective

Let plug in the formula

No inspector= 3/100×$10

No inspector= $0.3 cost per unit

1c. Based on the above calculation the inspector should be hired.

tester [92]

Answer: b. The company will be flooded with applications from individuals who are barely qualified.

Explanation:

By putting job advertisements on popular websites which are full of people looking for jobs, the company will attract people who are underqualified but apply anyway on the off chance that they are called for an interview. The company will incur costs sifting through the applications to find suitable candidates.

This will be a waste of the company's resources as those resources could have been directed at getting prospective employees that would be a better fit with the company and have the relevant qualifications. This could have been done by going to a recruiting agency for instance.

topjm [15]

Answer:

        \large\boxed{\large\boxed{41\%}}

You need to assume that the total <em>expenses</em> were equal to the<em> cost of the supplies</em>, i.e. there were not other expenses but the<em> $1,500 for supplies to sell.</em>

The total income or revenue was <em>$3,700</em>.

The <em>percentage of the expenses to the revenue</em> is:

juin [17]

Answer:

A.

1. Dr Accounts receivable $180,000

Cr Sales $180,000

2. Dr Cash $125,000

Cr Accounts receivable $125,000

3. Dr Sales returns and allowances $20,000

Cr Accounts receivable $20,000

4. Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts $35,000

Cr Accounts receivable $35,000

5. Dr Accounts receivable $2,500

Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts $2,500

Dr Cash $2,500

Cr Accounts receivable $2,500

B. Dr Bad debt expense $27,500

Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts $27,500

Explanation:

A1. To record the sale on account we will debit accounts receivable as our collectible to customer and credit sales in the amount of $180,000

A2. To record the collection, we will recognize the receipt of cash so we have to debit cash and credit accounts receivable to deduct the collectible balance in the amount of $125,000

A3. When the company receives returns from the customers, it will be charged to sales returns and allowances account so we have to debit it and credit accounts receivables in the amount of $20,000 to deduct collectibles to suppliers. Said, sales returns and allowances account is a contra account of sales. Thus, any amount recorded under it will be charged against (deduction) our sales.

A4. During the write off, we will debit allowance for doubtful accounts and credit accounts receivables to reduce its amount from the worthless receivables that is deemed to be uncollectible.

A5. Collection of previously written off receivables will resort to 2 entries. First, reversal of the original entry we made during the write off. So we debit Accounts receivable and credit allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $2,500. Next is to record the cash we received from the customer. So debit cash and credit accounts receivable in the same amount of $2,500.

B. To record the bad debt expense, we need to compute first the ending balance of the accounts receivable.

Beg $275,000 plus sales on account of $180,000 less collection $125,000, sales return of $20,000 and write off $35,000 = $275,000.

Bad debts is 10% of the Accounts receivable, so $275,000 x 10% = $27,500

Entry:

Dr bad debt expense $27,500

Cr allowance for doubtful accounts $27,500
