Answer:
$67.1 million
Explanation:
Given that,
Projected benefit obligation at the beginning of 2021 = $51 million
Service cost = $18 million
Retiree benefits = $7 million
Projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2021:
= Beginning of 2021 + Service cost + Interest cost - Retiree benefits
= $51 million + $18 million + (10% × $51 million) - $7 million
= $51 million + $18 million + $5.1 million - $7 million
= $67.1 million
Answer:
a. $6
b. $3204000
Explanation:
Given:
- Product X is 534,000 units
- cost for materials $1,441,800
- cost for labour: $1,762,200
(a) a standard cost
As we know standard cost is the cost of producing 1 unit and is recorded in a standard cost card. However, the cost of labor, materials and overhead are used to make a single unit, so
standard cost = unit variable cost = the total cost / the total number of unit.
In this situation, the overheading cost is not gven, so the total cost:
= The cost of labor + materials
= $1,441,800 + $1,762,200
= $3204000
=> standard cost = $3204000 / 534,000 = $6
(b) a budgeted cost represents the total costs
The total number of units * standard cost
= 534,000 * 6
= $3204000
