A corporation is considering the addition of new automated manufacturing equipment in one of its production departments. Currently, the department produces 50,000 units a year with average unit costs as follows: Direct materials Direct labor (2 hours at $15 per hour) Fixed overhead Both direct materials and direct labor are variable costs. The ratio of unit fixed costs to unit variable costs (direct materials plus direct labor) in the current labor-intensive operation is 25% ($20 $80). The new machinery will increase total fixed overhead costs in the department by $500,000 per year and make production more capital-intensive. Production will double to 100,000 units a year using the same total number of direct labor hours per year as the old labor-intensive operation. Direct materials cost will be unchanged at $50 per unit. Which of the following is the predicted ratio of unit fixed costs to unit variable costs in the new capital-intensive operation (rounded to the nearest 0.00%)? O…
Your Company uses activity-based costing and has estimated its costs for next year in the table below. How much of these costs would the company assign to activity cost pools? Plant manager's salary $97,000 Salary of advertising manager $135,000 Salary of electrician in manufacturing plant $62,000 Direct labor $75,000 Salary of janitor in headquarters building $65,000 Sales commission $27,000 Group of answer choices $359,000 $159,000 $461,000 $200,000

If San Clemente accepts the offer, by how much will net income increase (decrease)? ($8,850) decrease ($2,850) decrease O $19,950 increase $3,750 increase
Storch Corporation takes eight hours to complete the setup process for a certain electrical component, with the setup cost averaging $150 per hour. If the company's competitor can accomplish the same process in six hours, Stanley's non-value-added cost would be: so. $150. $300. S900. $1,200.
Sassy Company uses the product cost concept of applying the cost-plus approach to product pricing (this is the one we learned). Sassy Company desires a profit equal to a 15% rate of return on invested assets of $550,000. The costs and expenses of producing 35,000 units of Product H are as follows: (NOTE: This is the same fact pattern as the previous two questions) Fixed factory overhead cost $35,000 Fixed selling and administrative costs 16,500 Variable direct materials cost per unit 2.60 Variable direct labor cost per unit 4.30 Variable factory overhead cost per unit 1.30 Variable selling and administrative cost per unit 0.75 The markup percentage on total cost for the company's product is: O 23.2% 38.9% O not possible to calculate with the information provided O 29.8%
Jamison Company uses the reciprocal services method to allocate support department costs and has gathered the following information: Janitorial Department Usage Cafeteria 50% Cutting 10% Assembly 40% Cafeteria Department Usage Janitorial 20% Cutting 60% Assembly 20% Janitorial Department costs are $450,000. Cafeteria Department costs are $250,000. What are the correct equations to represent (a) the total Janitorial (J) costs, (b) the total Cafeteria (C) costs, and (c) the rewritten equation substituting C into J? a. J = $fill in the blank 1 + (fill in the blank 2% × ) b. C = $fill in the blank 4 + (fill in the blank 5% × ) c. J = $fill in the blank 7 + {fill in the blank 8% × [$fill in the blank 9 + (fill in the blank 10% × )]}
Melbourne Corporation has traditionally made a subcomponent of its major product. Annual production of 30,000 subcomponents results in the following costs: Direct materials $ 250,000 Direct labor $ 200,000 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 190,000 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 120,000 Melbourne has received an offer from an outside supplier who is willing to provide the 30,000 units of the subcomponent each year at a price of $28 per unit. There would be no effect of this decision on the total fixed manufacturing overhead of the company. Melbourne knows that the facilities now being used to manufacture the subcomponent could be rented to another company for revenue of $80,000 per year if the subcomponent were purchased from the outside supplier. The financial advantage (disadvantage) of making the subcomponent would be: Multiple Choice $0 $280,000 $120,000 $200,000
Gary needs to determine the total costs of his company's tile division and sink division to determine profitability once sales are recognized. The tile division incurs $263,000 in costs, while the sink division incurs $371,000 in costs. Two support departments assist the tile and sink divisions, and they incurred the following costs: Business Services, $79,000, and Maintenance, $51,000. Business Services is used 40% of the time by the tile division, while Maintenance spends 75% of its time helping the sink division. Using the direct method to allocate support department costs, what are the total costs for which the two operating divisions should be held responsible? Operating Departments Tile Total $ 304800 $ Sink Total costs 459200 $ 764000
Edidas Company needs 20,000 units of Part GX to use in producing one of its products. If Edidas buys the Part GX from McMillan Company for $79 instead of making it, Edidas will not use the released facilities in another manufacturing activity.

Explain which alternative is more attractive to Edidas, make or buy Part GX. 2. Assume there is new information that Edidas is negotiating to purchase cheaper raw materials from supplier (Twenty percent lower price). Is this information relevant or irrelevant? On the basis of financial considerations alone, should Edidas make or buy Part GX? Show your calculations 3. Based on requirement 2, what are relevant qualitative factors that Edidas should consider to decide whether to make or buy Part GX?…
The machining division of Cullumber International has a capacity of 2,000 units. Its sales and cost data are: Selling price per unit $80 Variable manufacturing costs per unit 25 Variable selling costs per unit 3 Total fixed manufacturing overhead 183,200 The machining division is currently selling 1,800 units to outside customers, and the assembly division of Cullumber International wants to purchase 400 units from machining. If the transaction takes place, the variable selling costs per unit on the units transferred to assembly will be $0/unit, and not $3/unit. If Cullumber's assembly division is currently buying from an outside supplier at $75 per unit, what will be the effect on overall company profits if internal sales for 400 units take place at the optimum transfer price? The company profits would by $
