Answer:

The old machine should be replaced.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the the analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

From the attached excel file, the following calculation are made:

Variable Manufacturing cost of Retain = Initial Variable Manufacturing cost * remaining useful life of old machine = $592,600 * 5 = $2,963,000

Variable Manufacturing cost of Replace = New Variable Manufacturing cost * Remaining useful life of new machine = $505,500 * 5 = $2,527,500

From the attached excel, it can be observed that the total cost of Retain is $32,200 higher than the total cost of Replace. This therefore implies that the old machine should be replaced.

blagie [28]

Answer:

The correct option is b. $8,100

Explanation:

Since the question was asked about the allocation of maintenance department expense to assembly and the maintenance department expense is based on the square footage.

So, the following equation should be used which is shown below:

= Maintenance department expense × assembly square foot space ÷ total sum of square foot space

where,

Maintenance department expense is $18,000

Assembly square footage is 2,700

And, the total sum of square foot space equals to

=  Fabrication square foot space + assembly square foot space

= 3,300 + 2,700

= 6,000

Now, put these values on the above equation.

So, the value would be equals to

= $18,000 × 2,700 ÷ 6,000

= $18,000 × 0.45

= $8,100

The other cost is irrelevant. Thus, it is ignored while computation.

Hence, the amount of Maintenance department expense to be allocated to Assembly is $8,100

Therefore, the correct option is b. $8,100

maksim [4K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Substancial performance is a terminology used in contract law. It actually means the degree of performance of a contract work which is not completely or fully finished,but is so nearly equivalent that it would be unfair to deny the contractor the payment agreed upon in the contract. The owner has a right to recover whatever damages he has incurred by reason of the contractor's failure to render full and complete performance.

Building Restoration must have at least substantially performed the it's side of a bargain before they can call on the CasualDining,Inc to perform the their side of the bargain e.g. by paying an agreed amount. What actually constitute substantial performance depends on the circumstances.

Answer:

$3,483.17

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method

Using this formula

Allocation to Cafeteria=[Cafeteria/(Cafeteria+Producing Department A+Producing Department B)]×Budgeted costs

Let plug in the formula

Allocation to Cafeteria=[25/(25 + 308 + 287)] x $72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=(25/520)×$72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=0.0480769231×$72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=$3,483.17

Therefore the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method would be $3,483.17
