Company personnel who earn $180,000 typically perform both tasks; other firm-wide overhead is expected to total $70,000. These costs are allocated as follows: Bouquet Production Delivery Other Wages and salaries 60 % 30 % 10 % Other overhead 50 % 35 % 15 % Skyline anticipates making 20,000 bouquets and 4,000 deliveries in the upcoming year. The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is:

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.15

Explanation:

Calculation for Other The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is:

Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = (60%*$180,000)+(50%*$70,000)/20,000 bouquet

Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = $108,000+$35,000/20,000 bouquet

Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = $143,000/20,000 bouquet

Wages and salaries charged to each bouquet produced = $7.15

Therefore The cost of wages and salaries and other overhead that would be charged to each bouquet made is:$7.15
