rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Given that Honduras is a small economy in Central America, and it keeps a fixed exchange rate with the US, and capital is perfectly mobile, but interest rates are three percent in the US and six percent in Honduras, the explanation of the difference in these interest rates are as follows:

Honduras has a higher interest rate, meaning that its sovereign bonds pay higher values than the American ones, as well as its banks also pay higher interests on their investments compared to American banks.

This is so for a double reason: on the one hand, because the Honduran economy is less reliable than the American economy, which is larger and therefore more solvent and capable of overcoming eventual crises, with which the risk of default is less.

On the other hand, the Honduran economy is more dependent on foreign investment, so it must offer higher interest rates to attract such investments.

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Deoro Company

1. Unit cost using direct labor hours to apply overhead:

Unit Cost

Model A $167.985

Model B $226.99

2. Unit cost using the four activity drivers:

Unit Cost

Model A $133.97

Model B $287.28

3. Activity-based costing method always produces the more accurate cost assignment.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Activity Expected Cost Activity Driver Activity Capacity

Setting up equipment $548,080 Number of setups 680

Ordering costs 313,200 Number of orders 17,400

Machine costs 939,400 Machine hours 42,700

Receiving 343,000 Receiving hours 9,800

Total overhead costs $2,142,680

Activity Rates:

Setting up equipment $806 per setup ($548,080/680)

Ordering costs $18 per order ($313,200/17,400)

Machine costs $22 per machine hour ($939,400/42,700)

Receiving $35 per receiving hour ($343,000/9,800)

Model A Model B

Direct materials $600,000 $800,000

Direct labor $480,000 $480,000

Overhead applied $1,063,500 $1,018,200

Total costs $2,143,500 $2,298,200

Units completed 16,000 8,000

Cost per unit $133.97 $287.275

Direct labor hours 6,000 2,000

Number of setups 400 200

Number of orders 6,000 12,000

Machine hours 24,000 18,000

Receiving hours 3,000 7,000

The company's normal activity is 8,000 direct labor hours.

Assignment of overhead costs:

Model A Model B

Number of setups $322,500 (400 * $806) $161,200 (200 * $806)

Number of orders 108,000 (6,000 * $18) 216,000 (12,000 * $18)

Machine hours 528,000 (24,000 * $22) 396,000 (18,000 * $22)

Receiving hours 105,000 (3,000 * $35) 245,000 (7,000 * $35)

Total overhead applied $1,063,500 $1,018,200

Overhead based on direct labor hours:

Total overhead costs = $2,143,680

Total direct labor hours = 8,000 (6,000 + 2,000)

Overhead rate per DLH = $267.96

Allocation of overhead:

Model A Model B

Direct labor hours 6,000 2,000

Overhead (DLH) $1,607,760 ($267.96 *6,000) $535,920 ($267.96 * 2,000)

Model A Model B

Direct materials $600,000 $800,000

Direct labor $480,000 $480,000

Overhead applied $1,607,760 $535,920

Total costs $2,687,760 $1,815,920

Units completed 16,000 8,000

Cost per unit $167.985 $226.99

Rylan Corporation received an offer from an exporter for 25,000 units of product at $16 per unit. The acceptance of the offer wi

hammer [34]

Answer: a.$275,000

Explanation:

Let us assume local production sales of 0 for simplicity of analysis.

At 0 there will be no Variable Costs and no fixed costs because they are dependant on the amount of units produced.

If then Rylan Corporation receives 25,000 units at $16 per unit this will change the Variable costs as it will have to incorporate the new units.

The question however says that normal production continues. This means that Fixed costs do not change. That means fixed costs remain at $0.

That means the only change will be the Variable costs of selling 25,000 units.

At a rate of $11 per unit we then have,

= 11 * 25,000

= $275,000

The costs have increased by $275,000 from 0 which means that $275,000 is the Incremental cost.

Note that Fixed and Variable costs of 0 are improbable and we're only used for simpler analysis. Feel free to try the question with other number of units for your own practice. You will arrive at the same answer regardless.
