Answer:
1.$4.58 per cases
2. Extra Fine $14.58
Family Style $13.58
3a. Extra Fine $4.42
Family Style $0.58
3b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit which may inturn make the company to stop the production of the product in a situation where the cost are not reduced
Explanation:
1. Computation for the overhead cost that is assigned to each case of Extra Fine Salsa and each case of Family Style Salsa using Plantwide overhead rate
Using this formula
Overhead cost=Total overhead cost/Total volume
Let plug in the formula
First step is to calculate the Total overhead cost
Total overhead cost = $132,300+ $347,000+$208,000
Total overhead cost =$687,300
Second step is to calculate the Total volume
Total volume= 34,000 +116,000
Total volume=150,000 cases
Now let calculate the Overhead cost
Overhead cost=$687,300/150,000 cases
Overhead cost=$4.58 per cases (rounded)
Therefore since we are making use of plantwide rate which means that same overhead cost of the amount of $4.58per cases will be assigned to each of the two case .
2. Calculation to determine the total cost per case for the two products
Extra Fine Family Style
Direct materials + Direct Labor $ 10.00 $ 9.00
Add Overhead $4.58 $4.58
Manufacturing cost per case $ 14.58 $ 13.58
Therefore the the total cost per case for the two products will be:
Extra Fine $14.58
Family Style $13.58
3-A Calculation to determine the gross profit per case for each product.
Extra Fine Family Style
Selling price per case $ 19.00 $ 13.00
Less Manufacturing cost per case $14.58 $13.58
Gross profit (loss) per case $ 4.42 $ (0.58 )
Therefore the gross profit per case for each product will be ;
Extra Fine $4.42
Family Style $0.58
3-b. What might the management conclude about the Family Style Salsa product line is that Family Style salsa are not yielding profit because they are not profitable which may inturn make the company to stop the production of the product In a situation where the cost are not reduced .
