(Predetermined OH rates; capacity measures) Albertan Electronics makes inexpensive GPS navigation devices and uses a normal cost

system that applies over- head based on machine hours. The following 2010 budgeted data are available:
Variable factory overhead at 100,000 machine hours $1,250,000
Variable factory overhead at 150,000 machine hours 1,875,000
Fixed factory overhead at all levels between 10,000 and 180,000 machine hours
1,440,000
Practical capacity is 180,000 machine hours; expected capacity is two-thirds of practical.
a. What is Albertan Electronics’ predetermined variable OH rate?
b. What is the predetermined FOH rate using practical capacity?
c. What is the predetermined FOH rate using expected capacity?
d. During 2010, the firm records 110,000 machine hours and $2,710,000 of overhead costs. How much variable overhead is applied? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (b)? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (c)? Calculate the total under- or over applied overhead for 2010 using both fixed FOH rates.

Answer:

Albertan Electronics

a. Albertan Electronics’ predetermined variable OH rate is $20.50.

b. The predetermined FOH rate using practical capacity is $8.00.

c.  The predetermined FOH rate using expected capacity is $12.00.

d1.  The variable overhead applied is $1,375,000.

d2. The fixed overhead applied using the rate in (b) is $880,000.

d3. The fixed overhead applied using the rate in (c) is $1,320,000.

d4. The total under-applied overhead for 2010 at $8.00 FOH rate is $455,000 and the total under-applied overhead for 2010 at $12 FOH rate is $15,000.

Explanation:

a) Available 2010 budgeted data:

Variable factory overhead at 100,000 machine hours $1,250,000 ($12.50)

Variable factory overhead at 150,000 machine hours 1,875,000 ($12.50)

Fixed factory overhead at all levels between 10,000 and 180,000 machine hours  = 1,440,000 ($8.00)

Practical capacity is 180,000 machine hours; expected capacity is two-thirds of practical (120,000) = $12 ($1,440,000/120,000)

Predetermined Overhead Rate:

Variable factory overhead =         $12.50

Fixed factory overhead =                 8.00

Predetermined overhead rate = $20.50

During 2010, the firm records 110,000 machine hours and $2,710,000 of overhead costs. How much variable overhead is applied? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (b)? How much fixed overhead is applied using the rate found in part (c)? Calculate the total under- or overapplied overhead for 2010 using both fixed FOH rates.

Variable overhead applied = $12.50 * 110,000 =    $1,375,000

Fixed overhead applied with $8 * 110,000 =               880,000

Total overhead applied                                          $2,255,000

Underapplied overhead = ($2,710,000 -2,255,000) 455,000

Variable overhead applied = $12.50 * 110,000 =    $1,375,000

Fixed overhead applied with $12 * 110,000 =           1,320,000

Total overhead applied                                          $2,695,000

Underapplied overhead = ($2,710,000 -2,695,000)    15,000

A company had a standard sales price of $1.79 per unit and expected to sell 10,000 units. Due to a downturn in the economy, the
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Sales price variance = $1,900.

Explanation:

We know,

Sales price variance = (Standard sales price - Actual sales price) × Actual sales quantity

Given,

Standard sales price = $1.79 per unit.

Actual sales price = $1.59 per unit.

Actual sales quantity = 9,500 units.

Putting the values into the formula, we can get

Sales price variance = (Standard sales price - Actual sales price) × Actual sales quantity

or, Sales price variance = ($1.79 -  $1.59) × 9,500

or, Sales price variance = $0.2 × 9,500

or, Sales price variance = $1,900.

Discuss the optimal method for procuring inputs that have well-defined and measurable quality specifications and require highly
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

By formation of legally binding contract.

Explanation:

Contacts are a good way for procuring inputs that have well-defined and measurable quality specifications and require highly specialized investments. Because of the high quality expected in the goods procured, having a legally enforceable contact will make the vendor provide high quality products that meets required specifications.

However when contracts dictate a particular price, so if the market price of input were to go down we will still be obligated to buy at the higher price from the vendor.
