Stells [14]

Answer:

O'Brian's Department Stores

a) Determination of the percentage of total personnel department services that was provided to the Payroll department

Since allocation of the personnel department services is based on the number of employees, we can use this to calculate the percentage.  The personnel employees are not included in this calculation.

= 4/32 x 100 = 12.5%

b) Percentage of total payroll department services provided to the personnel department.  Since the basis is the gross payroll, we can use this to calculate the percentage.  The gross payroll of the Payroll department is not included in the calculation.

= $6,000/$42,100 x 100 = 14.3%

c)                          Personnel  Payroll  House-     Clothing   Furniture    Total

                                                         Ware

Direct department

  cost               $ 7,800  $ 3,200    $ 12,200   $ 20,000  $ 16,750  $59,950

Number of

  employees       5              4                8               16             4             37

Gross payroll $ 6,000  $ 3,300    $ 10,600     $ 17,400    $ 8,100   $45,400

Total cost      $13,800   $6,500    $22,800     $37,400  $24,850  $105,350

Allocation of service departments costs, using the step method:

Personnel      -13,800      1,725          3,450         6,900       1,725       13,800

Payroll              0           -8,225           2,415         3,965        1,845       8,225

Total allocated 0               0          $28,665    $48,265   $28,420 $105,350

Explanation:

a) Data:

                        Personnel  Payroll  House-     Clothing   Furniture    Total

                                                         Ware

Direct department

  cost               $ 7,800  $ 3,200    $ 12,200   $ 20,000  $ 16,750  $59,950

Number of

  employees       5              4                8               16             4             37

Gross payroll $ 6,000  $ 3,300    $ 10,600     $ 17,400    $ 8,100   $45,400

b) Cost allocation & Calculations:

Personnel (based on the number of employees)

Rate = $13,800/32 = $431.25 per employee

Payroll (based on gross payroll)

Rate = Payroll cost = Payroll cost divided by the total gross payroll in the other departments, excluding personnel and payroll departments

= $8,225/$36,100 = $0.2278 per gross payroll

c) Allocation of service departments' costs is a method of apportioning costs incurred by service departments to the production departments in order to include all the costs in the product costs.  Three methods exist for allocating service departments' costs to the production departments.  The first, which is the simplest, is the direct method.  With this method, the costs of service departments are allocated directly to each production department based on the consumption of the service department's services.  They are not allocated to other service departments.

The second method is the step method.  Here, the costs of one service department with the highest cost are allocated to all other departments first, including production and other service departments following a step.  The costs of the next service department with the highest costs are allocated to the remaining departments.  This step is continued until all the service departments' costs have been allocated.  Once the costs of a service department have been completely allocated, that department would not be allocated any other cost.

The Reciprocal method, which is the last method, is the most accurate and complicated method.  This method first establishes the relationship among the service departments in equation form and uses the established equations to allocate the costs of service departments.  We may not discuss it further than this.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,984 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The one-time fixed costs will total 49982. The variable costs will be $8.50 per book. The publisher will sell the finished product to bookstores for 25.25 per book

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 49,982/ (25.25 - 8.5)

Break-even point in units= 2,984 units

WACC and Optimal Capital Structure F. Pierce Products Inc. is considering changing its capital structure. F. Pierce currently ha
den301095 [7]

Answer:

The firm's optimal capital structure is 80% Debt and 20% Equity.

The WACC at this optimal capital structure is 10.28%.

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file the computation of the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at the optimal capital structure. Also note that the data in the question are merged together but they are sorted in the attached excel file before answering the question.

The optimal capital structure of a firm can be described as a combination of debt and equity financing that is the beat in which market value of the firm is maximized while its cost of capital is minimized.

Using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC), the optimal capital cost capital structure occurs at a point where the WACC is the lowest.

From the attached excel file, the lowest WACC is 0.1028, or 10.28%.  At this firm Market Debt- to-Value Ratio (wd) which is debt is 0.80 (i.e. 80%), and Market Equity-to-Value Ratio (ws) which is equity is 0.20 (i.e. 20%).

Therefore, the firm's optimal capital structure is 80% Debt and 20% Equity.

The WACC at this optimal capital structure is 10.28%.
