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

From the question, we are informed about Abraham who has just purchased his first car. His bank, First State Bank, loaned him the money to buy the car and has required him to purchase insurance to protect the car as the collateral for the loan. In this case the basic types of coverage Abraham should buy to satisfy the bank requirement and to best protect himself from the risks of operating an automobile are;

Laura mentions that employees will come back from tea break on time because they know it will let down their fellow work mates i
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Cooperation and trust

Explanation:

There are clear distinctions between groups and teams. A group is a set of people brought together by common interests and inevitable circumstances, while a team is a group of people working together to reach a common goal.

The responsibility in a team is evenly dispersed; although the work is not done individually, the team is acting as an individual. That means that <em>trust </em>has to be present among team members; we have to know we won't be let down by a team member, like we don't let down ourselves.

<em>Trust</em> is one of the most essential inputs for effective <em>cooperation</em>.  

A team possessing such characteristics is highly <em>cohesive</em>.

C has a $100,000 traditional whole life insurance policy with a $30,000 cash surrender value. He applies for and receives a $10,
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

If C were disabled, his beneficiaries would receive $70,000, less any outstanding interest charges

Explanation:

Policy loans can generally amount up to 100% of the cash surrender value of the policy, in this case C only requested $10,000 (1/3 of the cash value). This type of loan is fully collateralized by the cash value of the policy and the borrower can even miss some payments or pay on a later date because interests keep adding.

This type of loan can carry a fixed or variable interest rate, depends on the insurer.

If C surrenders his policy, he will receive the total cash surrender value minus the loan amount = $30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000

If C dies, his beneficiaries would receive the full benefits minus the loan amount = $100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

Sunk; disregarded

Explanation:

Sunk cost is cost that has already been expended and cannot be recovered. It shouldn't be considered when making decisions.

No matter how much one argues, one would not be able to recover the $25. Therefore, it is sunk cost.
