Answer:
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
Explanation:
Differential Cost:
It is the difference in costs if there are more than one alternatives and one alternative is chosen while rejecting the other alternatives.
In order to calculate the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A, including all of the relevant costs we first calculate the total cost of both alternatives and then tae the difference.
Total Of Alternative A=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.
Total Of Alternative A=$28000+$34000+$11000+$19500=$92,500
Total Of Alternative B=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.
Total Of Alternative B=$64000+$34000+$28500+$27600=$154,100
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=Total Of Alternative B-Total Of Alternative A
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$154,100-$92,500
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
Answer: Option D
Explanation: In simple words, controlling refers to the function of management in which manager sets the standards of performance, compares the performance with the standards and take corrective actions in case of any discrepancy.
Controlling helps the organisation to achieve its goals by making the employees working towards the same goal determined in the planning stage. Controlling sets the standards of performance for the employees which works as a guide in their job.
Hence the correct option is D.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to close the manufacturing overhead account is shown below:
Given that
There is applied overhead of $31,500
And, the budgeted overhead is
= 2,000 × $15
= $30,000
As we can see that the budgeted overhead would be lower than the applied overhead so this is an under applied overhead
Cost of goods sold Dr $1,500 ($31,500 - $30,000)
To factory overhead $1,500
(Being the closing of overhead is recorded)
To have a fundamental and legal basis, there should always be a purchase contract between the buyer and the seller. This contract contains the agreement and requirements for the purchase to proceed. So in this case, it is always agreed in the contract who pays the cost.
