Answer: 49.10 pee unit

Explanation:

Direct materials = $14.30

Add: Direct labor = 23.90

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead = 3.00

Add: Avoidable overhead = 28.30 - 28.40 = 0.10

Avoidable cost = 41.10

The maximum amount that the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part if the supplier commits to supplying all 53,000 units required each year will be:

= 41.10 × 53000 + 424,000 / 53000

= 49.1 per unit

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The answer is option (B), accumulated depreciation at end of the second year=36,000+45,600=$81,600

Explanation:

Determine the depreciable cost using the formula below;

depreciable cost=acquisition cost-residual value

where;

acquisition cost=$190,000

residual value=$10,000

replacing;

depreciable cost=190,000-10,000=$180,000

depreciable cost=$180,000

Determine the cost per unit as follows;

depreciable cost=cost per bolt×number of bolts produced

where;

depreciable cost=$180,000

cost per bolt=c

number of bolts produced=75,000 bolts

replacing;

180,000=c×75,000

75,000 c=180,000

c=180,000/75,000=2.4

The cost per bolt=$2.4

annual depreciation for the first year=(2.4×15,000)=$36,000

annual depreciation for the second year=(2.4×19,000)=$45,600

accumulated depreciation at end of the second year=36,000+45,600=$81,600
