Answer:

Zachary Electronics

Zachary should continue to make the containers.  It is cheaper to make than to buy from Russo Container Company.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production units = 9,100 containers

Unit-level materials                $ 6,400

Unit-level labor                          6,400

Unit-level overhead                  3,800

Total unit-level costs            $16,600

Product-level costs*                 8,400

Allocated facility-level costs  28,000

Relevant or avoidable costs:

Unit-level materials                $ 6,400

Unit-level labor                          6,400

Unit-level overhead                  3,800

Total unit-level costs            $16,600

Product-level costs*                 2,800 ($8,400 * 1/3)

Total relevant costs =          $19,400 (to make)

Relevant cost to buy:

Offer from Russo Container company = $2.70 per container

Total cost from outside supplier = $24,500 ($2.70 * 9,100)

Production equipment costing $500,000 has been purchased by a contract manufacturing company to meet the specific needs of a cus
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Short-cut IRR = 18.75%

The company has not reached their rate of return goal on this contract and investment.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of production equipment = $500,000

Qualified investment tax credit (ITC) = 10% = $50,000 ($500,000 * 10%)

Contract period = 4 years with 4 years extension on renewal

Income tax rate for the company = 40%

Expected after-tax rate of return = 12%

Expected before-tax rate of return = 30% (12%/40%)

Annual income generated by the equipment = $150,000 for 4 years

Salvage value at the end of 4 years = $200,000

Short-cut IRR = 100%, divided by the number of years * about 75-80%

= 100%/4 * 75%

= 18.75%

Kostelnik Corporation uses a job-order costing system with a single plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $285,600

variable manufacturing overhead= $2.70 per machine-hour

Estimated machine-hours= 42,000

Job A496:

Number of units in the job 20

Total machine-hours 80

Direct materials $910

Direct labor cost $1,820

First, we need to allocate overhead to Job A496:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= (285,600/42,000) + 2.7

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $9.5 per machine hour

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 9.5*80= $760

Now, we can calculate the total cost:

Total cost= 910 + 1,820 + 760

Total cost= $3,490

Finally, we determine the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 3,490/20= $174.5

The income statement of Dolan Corporation for 2012 included the following items:
torisob [31]

Answer:

C) $16,000.

Explanation:

cash paid for insurance premiums = total insurance expense + ending balance of prepaid insurance - beginning balance of prepaid insurance

cash paid for insurance premiums = $15,200 + $3,000 - $2,200 = $16,000

Generally when you purchase an insurance policy you can either pay every month or pay for several months in advance and get a discount. When you pay for several months in advance, you must debit prepaid insurance. Then as time passes, you must accrue insurance expense. For e.g. you pay $2,400 today for a 1 year insurance premium, and at the end of the month you will accrue $200 of insurance expense. But your cash payment was made today.

Which inventory costing method results in the lowest net income during a period of rising inventory​ costs?.
scoray [572]

Due to the greatest cost of goods sold, the LIFO (Last In Last Out) technique displays the lowest net profitability. Compared to the other techniques of inventory valuation, the cost of goods sold for the LIFO approach is the greatest.

<h3>Which technique of inventory valuation will result in the lowest net profit?</h3>

The application of LIFO will produce the lowest net income and the greatest estimated cost of goods sold among the three options during periods of inflation.

<h3>Which method of inventory has the lowest income tax rate?</h3>

LIFO is the inventory cost flow method that yields the lowest income tax liability. A form of inventory cost flow mechanism called last-in-first-out (LIFO) operates under the presumption that the last item acquired will be the first item to be sold.

<h3>In an era of inflation, which inventory method results in the lowest income tax?</h3>

Due to increasing COGS, LIFO leads to reduced net income (and taxes). However, under LIFO during inflation, there are fewer inventory write-downs. Results from average cost are in the middle of FIFO and LIFO.
