The cost per unit for Decoder P=$5.76

The cost per unit for Decoder Q=$5.76

Using Activity based costing;

The cost per unit for Decoder P=$7.48

The cost per unit for Decoder Q=$5.01

Explanation:

A)Total Overhead cost= $275,000

Total Labour Hours=22,000

P Total Overhead =6,600/22,000*$275,000=$82,500

Overhead cost per unit=$82,500+$31,680/19,800units=$5.76

Fixed cost=$105,600

19800/66000*$105,600=$31,680

Q Total overhead =15,400/22,000*$275,000=$192,500

Overhead cost per unit=$192,500+$73,920/46,200units=$5.76

Fixed cost=$105,600

46,200/66000*$105,600=$73,920

B)Using activity based costing;

Total Overhead cost= $275,000

Repair and Maintenence Cost = $105,600

Total Labour Hours=22,000

P Overhead =6,600/22,000*$275,000=$82,500

Overhead cost perunit=$82,500/19,800units=$4.16

P Activities overhead=(2000+190+1400)/5750*$105,600=$65,931.13

Activity cost per unit=$65,931.13/19,800units=$3.32

Total Overhead cost =$4.16+$3.32=$7.48

Q Total overhead =15,400/22,000*$275,000=$192,500

Overhead cost per unit=$192,500/46,200units=$4.16

Q Activities overhead=(1000+60+1,100)/5750*$105,600=$39,668.87

Activity cost per unit=$39,668.87/46,200units=$0.85

Total Overhead cost =$4.16+$0.85=$5.01

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C. life estate

Explanation:

A life estate is an estate interest in land that lasts for the life time of the life tenant. The holder of a life estate has a full right to possess the property during their life. A life estate is restrictive in that it prevents the beneficiary from selling the property that produces the income before the beneficiary's death. But the estate cannot continue beyond the life of the beneficiary. A major benefit of a life estate deed is that it can be used to pass property upon the life tenant's death without it being part of the life tenant’s estate.

Data provided

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $16,500

Units produced = 5,000

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.25

The computation of the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost is shown below:-

Manufacturing overhead = Fixed manufacturing overhead + Variable manufacturing overhead

= $16,500 + (5,000 × $1.25)

= $16,500 + $6,250

= $22,750
