How much manufacturing overhead was incurred during the year? Is manufacturing overhead underallocated or overallocated at the

professor190 [17]

Answer:

1. Overhead incurred during the year;

= Depreciation on manufacturing plant and equipment + Property taxes on plant + Plant Janitors wages

= 485,000 + 19,000 + 9,500

= $513,500

2. The under or over allocation depends on how much manufacturing overhead was allocated to jobs for the year.

= Actual machine hours * Overhead rate

Overhead rate = Manufacturing overhead cost / Allocated Machine hours

= 570,000 / 71,250

= $8

Allocated Manufacturing Overhead = 57,000 * 8

= $456,000

The allocated manufacturing overhead is more than the actual overhead. This means that it is Underallocated and the company did not budget enough for the overheads.

Underallocation = 513,500 - 456,000

= $57,500

Olin [163]

Answer:

1.FIFO 5,631.4

2.LIFO 7,685

3.8.8542 per unit

Explanation:

Coronado Company's

1)First-in, first-out (FIFO)

(520×8.47+ 150×8.18)

= 4,404.4+1,227

= 5,631.4

2)Last-in, first-out (LIFO)

(420×7.30+ 620×7.45)

= 3,066+4,619

= 7,685

3.Cost of goods available for sale

Date Transactions Units ×Rate =Total

Apr-01 Beginning inventory 420 ×$7.30 =$3,066

Apr-04 Purchase 720×$7.45 =$5,363

11-Apr Purchase 620 ×$7.74 =$4,798.8

18-Apr Purchase 520×$7.81 =$4,061.2

26-Apr Purchase 920 ×$8.18= $7,525.6

30-Apr Purchase 520 ×$8.47 $4,404.4

Total: 3,300 $29,219

720+620+520+920+520=3,300

$3,066+5,363+4,798.8+4,061.2+7,525.6+4,404.4 =29,219

Average cost per unit =

Total cost of goods available for sale / Units available for sale

Hence:

$29,219 / 3,300

=8.8542 per unit

A consultant works for $200 per hour. She likes to grow vegetables, but is not very good at it. Why does it make more economic s

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

It is provided that the consultant works for $200 per hour.

Since, for the exchange of her services as a consultant she gets to be paid through $200 monetary benefit, such benefit will not arise in case of growing of vegetables.

Currently she grows vegetables only for her needs, thus, she do not sell them commercially, and also as provided she is not good ion growing vegetables,

The chances of earnings through sale of vegetables is less, as the quality and quantity both served will be low.

Also for exchange of money $200 she can buy all the resources she needs to live, but as she will not be able to earn this much from sale of vegetables, she will not find the economic equilibrium from such sale.

Therefore, she should continue to work as a consultant.

urk Manufacturing is considering purchasing two machines. Each machine costs $9,000 and will produce cash flows as follows: End

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Turk should purchase Machine B

Explanation:

<u>Our first step</u> will be to multiply each cashflow by the factor.

Then we will add them to get the present value of the cash flow

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&A&factor&Present \: Value\\Year \: 1&5,000&0.8696&4,348\\Year \: 2&4,000&0.7561&3,024.4\\Year \: 3&2,000&0.6567&1,313.4\\Total&11000&-&8,685.8\\\end{array}\right]$

Then we subtract the machine cost:

8,685.8 - 9,000 = -314.2 This Machine has a negative value. It is not convinient to purchase this machine.

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&B&factor&Present \: Value\\Year \: 1&1,000&0.8696&869.6\\Year \: 2&2,000&0.7561&1,512.2\\Year \: 3&11,000&0.6567&7,223.7\\Total&14,000&-&9,605.5\\\end{array}\right]$

9,605.5 - 9,000 = 605.5 This machine NPV is positive it is convient.
