Answer:
Total= $19.56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The basic direct labor rate is $12.00 per hour. Payroll taxes are 13% of the basic direct labor rate, while fringe benefits such as vacation and health care insurance, are $6.00 per hour.
<u>The direct labor standard rate per hour is calculated using the direct labor rate, the taxes and fringe benefits.</u>
Standard direct labor rate:
Direct labor rate= 12
Payroll taxes= (12*0.13)= 1.56
Fringe benefits= 6
Total= $19.56
Answer:
Alpha Moose Transporters's retained earnings breakpoint is B. $1,655,556
Explanation:
Addition to retained earnings = $745,000
Weight of equity = 45%
Retained earnings breakeven = $745,000 / 45%
= $1,655,556.
Retained earnings breakeven is $1,655,556.
Answer:
Xia Co.
1-a. The relevant costs for Xia Co. to make or buy the part:
Direct materials $2.25
Direct labor 1.00
Incremental overhead 0.75
Total relevant cost $4.00
1-b. Xia should make the part. It will cost Xia $4.00 to make the component while it costs it $5.00 to buy. It should therefore, make the component.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Price of buying component = $5
Cost of making component:
Direct materials $2.25
Direct labor 1.00
Incremental overhead 0.75
Total relevant cost $4.00
b) The relevant cost for making the component is $4.00. The overhead cost based on 200% direct labor is not a relevant cost. It is an allocated fixed cost and must be incurred whatever decision is taken. By making the component, Xia Co. will be netting in a unit contribution of $1 ($5.00 - $4.00) with the alternative of buying.
Answer:
93 units
Explanation:
Annual demand for an item = 11,000 units
cost per unit = $250
holding rate = 10%
Order cost = $14.00 per order
No. of days in a year = 260
Lead-time = 2 days
= 42.3 units
For a service level of 97%, the value of z is 1.881
Therefore,
Reorder point:
= Average daily demand × Lead time + Standard deviation of the daily demand × no. of standard deviation corresponding to service level probability × 
= (42.3 × 2) + (3 × 1.88 × 
)
= 92.57
= 93 units
