Kenneth Corporation expects to incur indirect overhead costs of $166,400 per month and direct manufacturing costs of $22 per uni

Eva8 [605]

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. For Predetermined overhead rate

Predetermined overhead rate = (Total estimated manufacturing overhead for 4 months) ÷ (Total number of units)

where,

Total estimated direct manufacturing cost is

= $166,400 × 4 months

= $665,600

And, the total number of units is

= 4,700 units + 8,700 units + 4,300 units + 7,900 units

= 25,600 units

So, the predetermined overhead rate is

= $665,600 ÷ 25,600 units

= $26 per unit

2. Now the allocated cost for each month is shown below:

For January

= 4,700 units × $26

= $122,200

For February

= 8,700 units × $26

= $226,200

For March

= 4,300 units × $26

= $111,800

For April

= 7,900 units × $26

= $205,400

c. Now the total cost per unit is

= $22 + $26

= $48 per unit

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $21 per unit and whose variable expense is $1

Grace [21]

Answer:

1. Break even points in units will be = 2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

Explanation:

Break even point = $\frac{Fixed Cost}{Contribution per unit}$

Fixed Cost = $8,100

Contribution per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost = $21 - $18 = $3

1. Break even points in units will be

= $\frac{8,100}{3} = 2,700 units.$

2. Break-even point in dollar sales

= Break even point in units X Sale price per unit

= 2,700 units X $21 = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales

= $\frac{8,100 + 600}{3}$ = 2,900 units

Final Answer

1. Break even points in units will be = 2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

Jacob and Marla were both presented with a complex accounting issue that neither had seen before. Marla was able to look at the

devlian [24]

Answer: Generally, when trying to solve a complex accounting problem in which there are obstacles and little knowledge about the subject, the most advisable thing is to work from a conceptual framework which serves as a guide to find a reasonable answer to the problem in question. In this case Marla was clearly working with a conceptual framework, and instead Jacob was not.

Henrietta, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into

klio [65]

Answer:

Total deduction for the year = $48,956

Explanation:

You can deduct investigation expenses but only for new business that is in the same industry as your current business. In this case, Henrietta incurred in $42,500 expenses trying to expand her hotel business. Total deduction for the current year = $42,500.

If the investigation expenses are not related to your current business, e.g. restaurants, then you can capitalize the costs and amortize them only if you actually carried out the expansion.

You can deduct up to $5,000 during the first year but this amount decreases by $1 for every dollar above $50,000. Total immediate deduction = $4,400. The remaining $46,200 must be amortized over 180 months. Amortization per month = $46,200 / 180 = $257

Total amortization for year 1 = 8 months x $257 = $2,056

Total deduction for the year = $42,500 + $4,400 + $2,056 = $48,956
