In the manufacture of 8,000 units of a product, direct materials cost incurred was $154,600, direct labor cost incurred was $84,

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Conversion costs are the combination of direct labor costs plus factory overhead costs. Hence, conversion costs exclude the cost of direct materials.

So, here the conversion cost = Direct labor cost + Factory overhead cost

= $ 84,000 + $ 45,500

= $ 129,500

LO 3.4If the sales mix in a multi-product environment shifts to a higher volume in low contribution margin products, the break-e

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Option 1 is wrong because in the case of multi-product, breakeven is weighted average which means the sales price will weighted average of sale prices of all the multi-products in the sales mix. If we change the weightings the weighted average costs and selling prices changes and so the contribution changes.

Option 2 is also sligthly wrong because Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases in the sales mix. This means:

Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit.........equartion 1

If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.

Its impact depends upon the portfolio of products company is managing. It means it increases breakeven with high effects if the products in sales mix 2 to 3.

Option 3 is 100% right because equation 1 is

Breakeven Point=Fixed Cost/ Contribution per unit

Which says

If the contribution per unit has been decreased the breakeven will rise.

Option 4 is absolutely wrong because if we shift to higher volume in low contribution margin products, Contribution margin per composite unit decreases if the volume of low contribution margin products increases

which means Weighted average contribution has been decreased and as a result breakeven point according to equation 1 has been incresed.

A company has budgeted direct materials purchases of $300,000 in July and $480,000 in August. Past experience indicates that the

enyata [817]

Answer: $696,000

Explanation:

Given the following;

JULY direct material purchase = $300,000

AUGUST BUDGET

direct material purchase =$480,000

Selling and administrative expenses = $48,000

Depreciation expense = $36,000

Purchase of office equipment = $72,000

Wages expenses = $150,000

Only 70% of the amount of purchases made in a month being paid that month. The remaining 30% paid the next month

Therefore, total Budgeted cash disbursement for the month of August will include ;

30% of July purchase

0.3 × $300,000 = $90,000

70% of August direct material

0.7 × $480,000 = $336,000

Wage expense = $150,000

Office equipment purchase =$72, 000

Selling and administration expenses = $48,000

= $(90,000 + 336,000+ 150,000+72,000+ 48,000) = $696,000.
