Kunkel Company makes two products and uses a conventional costing system. A single plantwide predetermined overhead rate is comp

uted based on direct labor-hours. Data for the two products for the upcoming year follow:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $ 8.00 $ 6.00
Direct labor cost per unit $ 10.00 $ 11.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 2.00 7.00
Number of units produced 1,000 2,000
These products are customized to some degree for specific customers.
Required:
1. The company's manufacturing overhead costs for the year are expected to be $1,200,000. Using the company's conventional costing system, compute the unit product costs for the two products.
2. Management is considering an activity-based costing system in which half of the overhead would continue to be allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours and half would be allocated on the basis of engineering design time. This time is expected to be distributed as follows during the upcoming year:
Mercon Wurcon Total
Engineering design time (in hours) 1,000 1,000 2,000
Compute the unit product cost for the two products using the proposed ABC system. (Do not round intermediate calculation. Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total number of direct labor hours= (1,000*2) + (2,000*7)= 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,200,000 / 16,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $75 per direct labor hour

<u>Now, we allocate overhead to each unit and calculate the unitary cost:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 75*2= $150

Unitary cost= 150 + 8 + 10= $168

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 75*7= $525

Unitary cost= 525 + 6 + 11= $542

<u>Finally, using activity-based costing:</u>

Mercon Wurcon Total

Engineering design time (in hours) 1,000 1,000 2,000

Direct labor-hours 2,000 14,000 16,000

Engineering= 600,000 / 2,000= $300 per design hour

Direct labor= 600,000 / 16,000= $37.5 per direct labor hour

Mercon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*2 + 300*1= $375

Unitary cost= 375 + 8 + 10= $393

Wurcon:

Allocated MOH= 37.5*7 + 300*0.5= $412.5

Unitary cost= 412.5 + 6 + 11= $429.5

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets

Explanation:

Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.

It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.

When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.

Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.

inna [77]

Answer:

From maintenance to department B will be allocated 85,333 dollars

Explanation:

We distribute maintenance over personnel and operating and then,

we distributed the accumulated in personnel over the operating department:

\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}&Maintenance&Personnel&Dep A&Deb B\\$maintenance-hours&&800&960&640\\$employes&&&160&480\\$Direct \: Cost&320,000&80,000&160,000&240,000\\$Allocate A&-320,000&106,667&128,000&85,333\\$Subtotal&&186,667&288,000&325,333\\$Allocate J&&-186,667&46,667&140,000\\$Total&&&334,667&465,333\\\end{array}\right]

<em><u>For the given question it would be:</u></em>

total maintenance-hours: 800  + 960 + 640 = 2,400

<u>allocation of maintenance:</u>

320,000 x   640/2400 = 85,333
