VMariaS [17]

Answer:The activity rate for each activity of Company CC is:

Activity rate for cutting is $60 per dlh.

Activity rate for sewing is $15 per dlh.

Activity rate setup is $80 per setup.

Activity rate for inspection is $65 per inspection.

Explanation: Activity based costing trace overhead cost to each activity and absorbed at a rate for each activity rather than a rate per direct labour hour

Calculate activity rate for cutting

Cutting = cost of cutting/ Number of labour hours

$90,000/1500 = $60 per direct labour hour

Calculate the cost of sewing

Sewing= cost of sewing/ Number of labour hours

$22,500/1500 = $15 per direct labour hour

Calculate the cost of set up

Setup = cost of set up/ number of set ups

$80,000/ 1000 = $80 per set up

Calculate the cost of inspection

Inspection = cost of inspection/ number of inspection

$32,500/ 500 = $65 per inspection

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

30,000 units

Explanation:

we can use the economic order quantity formula:

EOQ = √(2SD/H)

where:

S = order cost (per purchase order) ≈ production run cost = $900
D = demand in units (annual basis) ≈ production requirement = 1,500,000 units
H = holding costs (per unit, per year) = $3 per item, per year

EOQ = √[(2 x $900 x 1,500,000) / $3] = 30,000 units
