Answer:

0.7207

Explanation:

Mean  μ = 84g

SD σ = 1.85g

Upper specification limit (USL) = 88g

Lower specification limit (LSL) = 78g

Cpk = Min[USL - μ/3σ,  μ-LSL/3σ]

Cpk = Min[88 - 84/3*1.85, 84-78/3*1.85]

Cpk = Min[4/5.55, 6/5.55]

Cpk = Min[0.7207, 1.0811]

Cpk = 0.7207

So, the process capability index for the current manufacturing process is 0.7207

A Caterpillar tractor acquired on January 12 at a cost of $171,000 has an estimated useful life of 25 years. Assuming that it wi
Kay [80]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-

Depreciation

= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25

= $6,840

For First year = $6,840

For Second year = $6,840

It would be the same for the remaining useful life

b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-

First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 25

= 4%

Now the rate is double So, 8%

In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60

Part b

Under Absorption Costing, Both Variable Manufacturing Costs  and  Fixed Manufacturing costs are treated as Product costs. All Non-Manufacturing Costs are treated as period costs.

Part c.

The difference between the Net Income under Absorption Costing and Variable Costing is due to Fixed Manufacturing Costs that are deferred in Inventory. This needs to be reconciled accordingly.
