Bob, proprietor of Bob's Burgers, would like to retire in 20 years. He plans to deposit $6500 at the end of each year for the next 20 years into an account expected to earn 7.5% compounded annually. How much will Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit
Answer:
$281,480
Explanation:
we need to find the future value of the annuity payments, we can use the future value of annuity formula (I couldn't find an annuity table for 7.5%):
future value = annual payment x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r
annual payment = $6,500r = 7.5%n = 20 yearsfuture value = $6,500 x [(1 + 0.075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075 = $6,500 x 43.30468 = $281,480
The amount that Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit is $281,480.
Future value:Using this formula
Future value =Annual payment x [(1 + Interest rate)^Number of years - 1] / Interest rate
Where:
Annual payment = $6,500
Interest rate = 7.5% or 0.075
Number of years= 20 years
Let plug in the formula
Future value = $6,500 x [(1 + 0.075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [(1 .075)²⁰ - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [(4.24785) - 1] / 0.075
Future value=$6,500 x [3.24785]/ 0.075
Future value = $6,500 x 43.30467
Future value= $281,480
Inconclusion the amount that Bob have in his retirement account in 20 years immediately after making his last deposit is $281,480.

A company is considering purchasing a new production machine and have identified two potential options. Option A has a first cost of $1450 but will produce annual revenues of $650 while incurring $245 worth of maintenance. Option B has a purchase price of $1130 with annual revenues of $445 and maintenance costs of $147. One of your colleagues has done an internal rate of return analysis on Option A and determined it had an IRR=12.28%
a. Your boss has asked you to determine the IRR for option B, assuming that both options have same service life
b. Assuming the two production machines are independent and the company has a MARR of 11%, what should the company do?
Answer:
a. The IRR for the option B will be 9.988%.
b. The company would accept option A and reject the option B
Explanation:
a. To calculate the IRR for option B we first need to determine the service life of the option A.
If R = 12.28%
Net annual benefits = 650-245=$405
Then, 1450= 405*(1-1/1.1228^n)/.1228
1/1.1228^n =1 - 1450*.1228/405 = .5603
1.1228^n = 1.7846
n = log(1.7846)/log(1.1228) = 5 years
Therefore, For option B
Let, IRR = R
Net annual benefit = 445-147 = $298
1130 = 298*(1-1/(1+R)^5)/R
At R = 9%
PV of cash inflows = $1159.12
At R = 10%
PV of cash inflows = $1129.65
As per the method of interpolation,
R = 9% + ((1159.12 - 1130)/( 1159.12-1129.65))*(10%-9%)
R = 9.988%
Thus, IRR for the option B will be 9.988%.
b. According to the given data to selection the any option, the value of IRR must be greater than or equal to the MARR. in this case, option A has the IRR of 12.28% that is greater than the MARR of 11%. But, it is not the case with option B whose IRR is only 9.988% and it is less than the MARR of 11%.
Thus, option A will be accepted and option B will be rejected.

Budgeted Actual
Overhead cost $975,000 $950,000
Machine hours 50,000 45,000
Direct labor hours 100,000 92,000
Required:
a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
b. Determine the amount of overhead applied for the year.
Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours
Overhead applied = $897,000
Explanation:
Given:
Budgeted Overhead cost = $975,000
Actual Overhead cost = $950,000
Budgeted Machine hours = 50,000
Actual Machine hours = 45,000
Budgeted Direct labor hours = 100,000
Actual Direct labor hours = 92,000
Computation:
(a) Predetermined overhead rate.
Predetermined overhead rate = budgeted overhead cost / budgeted direct labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $975,000 / 100,000
Predetermined overhead rate = $ 9.75 per direct labor hours
(b) Amount of overhead applied for the year.
Overhead applied = Actual hours × Predetermined overhead rate
Overhead applied = 92000 × $9.75
Overhead applied = $897,000
Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1
Answer:
5.25%
Explanation:
To calculate the inflation for the year 3, we will have to calculate the yield on 1 Year treasury bond.
The yield is calculated using the following formula:
Nominal Yield on Bond = Real risk free rate + Inflation for the year
Here
Inflation for Year One is 3.75%
Real Risk-Free Rate is 3.5%
Nominal yield on bond is Y for year 1
By putting values, we have:
Y = 3.5% + 3.75% = 7.25%
For 3 years treasury bond,
Nominal Yield on Treasury Bond for 3 years = Yield on year 1 + Inflation
Y3 = 7.25% + 1.5% = 8.75 %
Now if we deduct the real risk free rate from the 3 year yield on the treasury bond, then the resultant rate would be the inflation rate for the year 3.
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = Y3 - Real Risk-Free Rate
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 8.75% - 3.5%
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 5.25%

2) Direct materials $ 75,000 $ 56,000
3) Direct manufacturing labour 275,000 209,000
Direct manufacturing labour is paid at the rate of $25 per hour
Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated at a budgeted rate of $22 per direct manufacturing labour-hour
1. Direct labor rate = $25 per hour
Direct labor hours used on Job M1 = Direct manufacturing labor ÷ Direct labor rate
= 275,000 ÷ 25
= $ 11,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to Job M1 = Direct labor hours used on Job M1 x 22
= $11,000 x 22
= $242,000
Job cost sheet (Job M1)
Direct material = $75,000
Direct labor = $275,000
Overhead applied = $242,000
Total cost = $592,000
2. Cost per unit = Total cost ÷ Number of units
= 592,000 ÷ 1,600
= $370

MFG Manufacturing sells a product for $40 per unit. The production cost of the product is $21 per unit: direct materials of $8, direct labor of $7, variable overhead of $4 and fixed overhead of $2. The fixed overhead per unit comes from dividing $500,000 of fixed factory overhead by 250,000 units produced. In addition, MFG pays $3 for shipping each unit sold. Finally, MFG has fixed costs outside the factory (such as office building depreciation and salaries) that total $200,000 per year. Assuming breakeven in units was correctly computed to be 20,000 units, breakeven in dollars is:
Answer:
Break-even sales =$800,000
Explanation:
The break-even sales is the amount of revenue that a business must generate that would equate its total costs to total revenue. At the break even sales, the contribution is exactly to total iced cost, and the business makes no profit or loss
Break-even (units) = Total general fixed cost /(selling price- variable cost)
Break-even sales = Break-even (in units) × Selling price
Break-even sales = 20,000 × $40 =$800,000
Break-even sales=$800,000

For each overhead a rate is determined as follows :
initial concept formation
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost / Number of Project Changes
= $52,960/ 16
= $3,310 per Project Change
design
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost / Square feet
= $420,000/ 140,000
= $3 per Square feet
construction oversight
Predetermined overhead rate = Overhead Cost / Number of Months
= $118,650/ 105
= $1,130 per Month
Classification
The way the activity is to be absorbed in costing determine its classification
"An investor wishes to buy a new issue of U.S. Government agency bonds. You recommend that the customer purchase Federal Home Loan Bank bonds with a 20 year maturity. An investor who purchases the new issue of Federal Home Loan Bank bonds can expect to pay:"
Answer: A. Par
Explanation:
While US Government bonds are usually sold at auction which means a price different from Par, Federal Agency bonds operate much like Corporate Bonds in their selling procedure. They engage a group of Underwriters called a Selling group which can be made up of large banks and brokers.
These underwriters will then handle everything that have to do with the sale and sell it to the public. Like a Corporate listing, they get a commission from this.
Because of this direct sale by the Underwriter to the public, the Public is most likely to get the offering at Par.
Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc. is concerned they are not maintaining adequate liquidity. The accounting department has provided you, the newly hired finance manager, with the following ratios:
1. Current ratio 4.5 Industry norm 4.0
2. Quick ratio 2.0 Industry norm 3.1
3. Inventory turnover 6.0 Industry norm 10.4
4. Average collection period 73 days Industry norm 52 days
5. Average payment period 31 days Industry norm 40 days
Discuss · In your opinion, what do these ratios indicate about Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.?
A. What recommendations would you make based on these ratios?
B. What results do you think you can achieve if your recommendations are followed?
C. Why might your recommendations not be effective?
Answer:
Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.
1. Indications from ratios about Black Sparrow Aviation:
The current ratio of 4.5 is higher than the industry's norm of 4.0. This indicates that working capital elements are not being managed properly. This is supported by the the remaining four ratios. Inventory level is not optimal. More inventory is held without being sold to customers. Obviously, from the inventory turnover of 6.0 translating to approximately 61 days that it takes the company to sell its inventory as against the industry average of 35 days, it shows that the marketing and sales forces lack stamina. Debt collection from customers is over-delayed, showing poor credit policy and management. Perhaps, it takes the company many days to issue invoices. More time than necessary is allowed to customers to pay compared to the industry norm. In addition, payments are made to suppliers 11 days earlier than the industry average. Advantage is not being taken of trade credit offered by suppliers. Trade credit is an important source of funding operations, which every company should utilize to the maximum.
2A. Based on the above ratios, I would recommend:
1. Minimum inventory should be maintained.
2. Sales efforts should be intensified, so that more sales are made each year than it is currently the case.
3. Debt collection is an important activity for every company that sells on account. This activity should be taken seriously. Credit extension to customers should not exceed 50 days.
4. Payments to suppliers can be delayed by more 10 days without offending suppliers.
2B. Results from Recommendations:
1. Working capital is not tied in inventory.
2. More debts are recovered from customers and on time. Delay increases credit default.
3. More sales are made to customers, increasing the turnover. The profit is always in the frequency of turnover.
4. Short-term financing is obtained from suppliers, which strengthens liquidity.
Explanation:
Liquidity management is a financial management tool, which describes a company's ability to meet financial obligations through cash flow, funding activities, and capital management in order to minimize the risks associated with illiquidity.
Calculation, analysis, comparison of ratios are some of the ways to make informed decisions on liquidity management. Ratios should be compared over many periods, with best performing competitors, and the industry norm to ascertain the position of the reporting entity.

Thailand Polishing has submitted a bid of 3,000 baht. India Shine has submitted a bid of 3,000 rupee. Sacramento Glow has submitted a bid of $3,000. You check with your local bank and find that $1=10 baht , and $1=8 rupee. The final destination for the disks is New Delhi, India and there is a 35% import tax. Thailand Polishing and Sacramento Glow are based outside of India and India Shine is based in India.A .What is the price per unit in dollars, including import tax for Thailand polishing?B. What is the price per unit for India Shine?C. What is the price per unit for Sacramento Glow?
Answer:
(a) Thailand polishing price per unit is $2.03
(b) India shine price per unit is $1.88
(c) Sacramento glow price per unit is $15
Explanation:
(a) Thailand polishing:
Thailand polishing has submitted a quote of 3000 baht
$1 = 10 bhat
1 bhat = $ 0.1
Thailand polishing submitted bid = 3000 × $0.1 =$300
Import tax = 35%
Total cost = 1.35 × 300 = $405
Cost per unit = 405 ÷ 200 = $2.03
(b) India shine:
India shine has submitted a bid of 3000 rupees
$1 = 8 rupees
1 Rupee = $0.125
India shine submitted bid = 3000 × 0.125 = $375
Price per unit = 375 ÷ 200 = $1.88
(c) Sacramento Glow submitted bid = $3,000
price per unit = $3,000 ÷ 200
= $15
Consider a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then: the price elasticity of supply will increase. the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive. the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one. the price elasticity of supply will be constant. none of the above
Answer:
The answer is: the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive
Explanation:
The law of supply is the higher the price the higher the quantity supplied and vice-versa. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right and a decrease shifts the supply curve to the left.
Price elasticity of supply is the ratio of percentage change in quantity supplied of a good to percentage change in price of the good.
The upward shift of supply curve tells us that supply often decreases when the costs of production increase, so producers need to set a higher price inorder to cover the higher cost of inputs(cost of production) and vice-versa for the downward shift.
So considering a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope in greater than one(supply is elastic) indicating a high responsiveness to changes in price. And also, the lowest price for the goods must be encouraging (positive) so as to serve as motivation to produce.
Note: A high price tells producers that a good is in demand and they should make more and vice-versa
The law of supply is the higher the price the higher the quantity supplied and vice-versa. An increase in supply shifts the supply curve to the right and a decrease shifts the supply curve to the left.
Correct option is C.
"the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope of the supply curve is greater than one and the lowest price needed to induce firms to supply anything is positive."
So, considering a linear, upward sloping supply curve. If the supply curve shifts upward, then the price elasticity of supply will increase if the slope in greater than one(supply is elastic) indicating a high responsiveness to changes in price. And also, the lowest price for the goods must be encouraging (positive) so as to serve as motivation to produce.

A steel company manufactures heavy-duty brackets for the shelving industry. The company has budgeted for the production and sale of 1,000,000 brackets and has no beginning or ending inventory. Relevant operational, revenue, and cost data is as follows: Unit selling price of a bracket $22.50 Direct material required per unit 4 pounds Direct labor required per unit 0.15 hours Cost of material per pound $1.75 Direct labor cost per hour $9.00 Total variable selling costs $2,250,000 Total fixed costs $1,500,000 Based on the data provided, what is the unit contribution margin per bracket
Answer:
Contribution margin per unit = $11.90
Explanation:
Given:
Total unit sale = 1,000,000
Unit selling price of a bracket = $22.50
Direct material required = 4 pounds per unit
Direct labor required = 0.15 hours per unit
Cost of material per pound = $1.75
Direct labor cost per hour = $9.00
Total variable selling cost = $2,250,000
Find:
Contribution margin per unit = ?
Computation:
Direct material per unit = 4 pounds per unit × $1.75
Direct material per unit = $7
Direct labor per unit = 0.15 hours per unit × $9.00
Direct labor per unit = $1.35
Variable selling cost per unit = Total variable selling cost / Total unit sale
Variable selling cost per unit = $2,250,000 / 1,000,000
Variable selling cost per unit = $2.25
Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Sales per unit - [Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable selling cost per unit]
Contribution margin per unit = $22.50 - [$7 - $1.35 - $2.25]
Contribution margin per unit = $22.50 - [$10.6]
Contribution margin per unit = $11.90
The risk-free rate of interest, kRF, is 6 percent. The overall stock market has an expected return of 12 percent. Nutshell, Inc. has a beta of 1.2. What is the required return of Nutshell, Inc. stock? *
Answer:required return of Nutshell, Inc. stock = 13.2%
Explanation:The Required return also called Hurdle rate is the minimum return in percentage which an investor should receive from doing business or investing in a business to compensate for the risks associated with the business. The more risky the investment, the more high returns and the less risky investment, the lower the returns.
Required Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta x (Whole Market Return – Risk Free Rate)
given
risk-free rate = 6%
market return= 12 %
beta = 1.2
Required Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta * (Whole Market Return – Risk Free Rate
= 6% + 1.2 x (12% - 6%) = 6% + 1.2 x 6% = 0.06 + 1.2x 0.06= 0.06 + 0.072=0.132 x 100 = 13.2%

Agency theory presents some important managerial considerations. Broadly speaking, governance mechanisms need to assure alignment of incentives between principals and agents. The text provides an example of financial institutions in the situation of profits remaining within the firm while losses are paid by the public as a description of:________.A) a board of directors' problem.B) a challenge of information symmetry.C) a moral hazard problem.D) a private information problem.E) an adverse selection problem.
Answer: a moral hazard problem
Explanation:
Agency theory is a principle used to explain and resolve the issues in the relationship that exists between business principals and their agents. The relationship is usually the one between the shareholders who act as the principals, and the company executives who act as the agents.
When banks are bailed out through public funds for the excessive risky mortgage obligations or undue risk taking, this lead to increase in moral hazard. The gains of successful risk taking will stay with the private firm and the risks would be shared with the other parties.
A recently graduated engineer has decided to return to school in the evenings to obtain a master's degree. He feels it should be accomplished in a manner that that will allow him the maximum amount of time for his regular day job plus time for recreation. In working for the degree, he will
Answer: minimize input
Explanation:
From the question, we have been told that a recently graduated engineer decided to return to school in the evenings in order to obtain a master's degree. The recent graduate feels it should be accomplished in a way that will give him the maximum amount of time needed for his regular day job and time for recreation.
In this situation, we can see that the individual actually holds his regular job and recreation in high esteem and feels that they are more important than the masters degree. Base on this, the person will minimize its input towards the masters program.

You run a school in Florida. Fixed monthly cost is $5,435.00 for rent and utilities, $6,171.00 is spent in salaries and $1,545.00 in insurance. Also every student adds up to $91.00 per month in stationary, food etc. You charge $734.00 per month from every student now. You are considering moving the school to another neighborhood where the rent and utilities will increase to $11,679.00, salaries to $6,974.00 and insurance to $2,408.00 per month. Variable cost per student will increase up to $158.00 per month. However you can charge $1,054.00 per student. At what point will you be indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option?
Answer:
31
Explanation:
The calculation of indifferent between your current mode of operation and the new option is shown below:-
Current Operation
Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost
= $734.00 - $91.00
= $643.00
Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance
= $5,435.00 + $6,171.00 + $1,545.00
= $13,151.00
New Operation
Contribution Margin = Monthly Fees - Variable Cost
= $1,054.00 - $158.00
= $896.00
Total Fixed Cost = Rent and Utilities + Salaries + Insurance
= $11,679.00 + $6,974.00 + $2,408.00
= $21,061.00
Here we will assume the indifferent number of students will be X
So,
Income under current option = Income under new option
$643.00 × X - $13,151.00 = $896.00 × X - $21,061.00
$253X = $7,910
X = $7,910 ÷ $253
= 31.26
or
= 31

f) Total assets is $21,581,947.37
g)Total common stock equity is $11,958,333.33
h) Accounts Receivable is $7,222,739.73
Explanation:
McDougal Printing, Inc.
Year Ended December 31, 2019
Sales = $ 41,000,000
Gross profit margin = 76%
Operating profit margin = 39%
Net profit margin = 7%
Return on total assets = 13.3%
Return on common equity = 24%
Total asset turnover = 1.9
Average collection period = 64.3 days
Calculation of the dollar values of various income statement and balance sheet accounts
a) Gross Profit = Sales × Gross Profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 76%
= $31,160,000
b) Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross profit
= $41,000,000 - $31,160,000
= $9,840,000
c) Operating profits = Sales × Operating profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 39% = $15,990,000
d) Operating Expenses = Gross profit - Operating profit
= $31,160,000 - $15,990,000
= $15,170,000
e) Earnings available to common stockholders = Sales × Net profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 7%
= $2,870,000
f) Total assets = Sales ÷ Total asset turnover ratio
= $41,000,000 ÷ 1.9
= $21,581,947.37
g)Total common stock equity = Earnings available to common stockholders ÷ Return on common equity %
= $2,870,000 ÷ 24%
= $11,958,333.33
h) Accounts Receivable = (Sales ÷ 365 days) × Average collection period
= ($41,000,000 ÷ 365 days) × 64.3 days
= $7,222,739.73
How are the project management processes that surround Scrum similar to and different to how the project management processes surround a project life cycle like SDLC (Waterfall)? Describe how the hybrid approach would make sense or not make sense for either your organization or an organization that you are familiar with.
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
There are several similarities between the project management processes which surround scrum to the traditional project management processes which surrounds a project life cycle such as Waterfall. When one looks at each iteration as a project, one will see that Scrum planning meeting will be identical to planning meeting of the traditional project.
The daily standups in scrum will resemble the monitoring and the controlling of traditional waterfall with the exception that in scrum, its team monitors itself. A sprint would be the execution stage while the sprint review will be like project closure lessons that are learned. Sprint can be seen as small waterfall model project.
However, the main difference is in the scrum's team mindset versus the team of the traditional project management. Also, the process of work defining as being completed is different for the teams. Lastly, the method used by the scrum team in its approaches to work, team collaboration, responsibility acceptance, tasks definition and accountability are different from the traditional project management team.
A hybrid approach will be sensible in a large organization which has pockets of power. This is true for large retails that have old legacy systems in which frequent deployments aren't possible.
This is true for systems in which, testing can't be automated due to the fact that automated testing is a vital part for success for large scrum projects. In such organizations, it is sensible to use scrum for the teams which are able to move to scrum and waterfall can be used for other parts of the organization.
An ordinary annuity selling at $14,130.15 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next twelve years (N). If the annuity’s appropriate interest rate (IN) remains at 8.00% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be
Answer:
PMT = $1875.00
Explanation:
The annuity refers to a series of fixed payments made after an equal interval of time and for a definite time period. The formula for the present value of annuity is,
For ordinary annuity
PV of annuity = PMT * [(1 - (1+IN)^-n) / IN]
Plugging in the values for the available variables. We calculate the PMT to be,
14130.15 = PMT * [(1 - (1+0.08)^-12) / 0.08]
14130.15 = PMT * 7.536078017
14130.15 / 7.536078017 = PMT
PMT = $1875.000493 rounded off to $1875.00

Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100. The contribution margin ratio and the unit contribution margin, respectively, are
Answer:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
Contribution margin= $7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Zeke Company sells 26,900 units at $16 per unit. Variable costs are $9 per unit, and fixed costs are $38,100.
To calculate the contribution margin per unit, we need to use the following formula:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Contribution margin= 16 - 9= $7
Now, we can calculate the contribution margin ratio:
Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin/ selling price
Contribution margin ratio= 7/16
Contribution margin ratio= 0.4375
"Addison Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The equipment will have an initial cost of $522,000, a 3 year life, and no salvage value. If the accounting rate of return for the project is 6%, what is the annual increase in net cash flow
Answer:
$31,320.00
Explanation:
The formula for accounting rate of return is the annual net cash flow divided by the initial investment.
If the initial investment was $522,000 and the accounting rate of return is computed to be 6% per year, hence the annual increase in cash flow accruing from the investment can be calculated by changing the subject of the formula.
ARR=annual increase in cash flow/initial investment
ARR is 6%
initial investment is $522,000
annual increase in cash flow?
6%=annual increase in cash flow/$522,000
annual increase in cash flow=6%*$522,000= $31,320.00
Angara Corporation uses activity-based costing to determine product costs for external financial reports. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity-based costing system: Activities (and Activity Measures) Estimated Overhead Cost Machine related (machine-hours) $256,520 Batch setup (setups) $261,360 General factory (direct labour-hours) $178,560 Expected Activity Activities Product X Product Y Total Machine related 4,300 6,300 10,600 Batch setup 8,600 1,300 9,900 General factory 3,300 6,300 9,600 Assuming that actual activity turns out to be the same as expected activity, the total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:
Answer:
The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to $ 392,480
Explanation:
Activities (and Activity Measures) Estimated Overhead Cost
Machine related (machine-hours) $256,520
Batch setup (setups) $261,360
General factory (direct labour-hours) $178,560
Expected Activity
Activities Product X Product Y Total
Machine related 4,300 6,300 10,600
Batch setup 8,600 1,300 9,900
General factory 3,300 6,300 9,600
The total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:
Machine related = (4,300 × $256,520) ÷ 10,600 = $104,060
Batch setup = (8,600 × $261,360) ÷ 9,900 = $227,040
General factory = (3,300 × $178,560) ÷ 9,600 = $61,380
Total = $104,060 + $227,040 + $61,380 = $ 392,480
