*Variable manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of direct labor hours.
*Fixed manufacturing overhead is applied on the basis of machine hours.
Stewart annual requirement for these components is 8,000 units of B12 and 11,000 units of B18.
Recently, Stewart's management decided to devote additional machine time to other product lines
resulting in only 41,000 machine hours per year that can be dedicated to the production of the bearings.
An outside company has offered to sell Stewart the annual supply of the bearings at prices of
P11.25 for B12 and P13.50 for B18. Stewart wants to schedule the otherwise idle 41,000 machine hours
to produce bearings so that the company can minimize its costs (maximize its net benefits).
The net benefit(loss) per machine hour that would result if Stewart accepts the supplier's offer of P13.50
per unit for component B18 is
a PO.50
b. P(1.00)
c. Pl.50
d. (P(1.75) c. None of these; answer is
15. Refer to no. 14. Stewart will maximize its net benefits by
a. Purchasing 4,800 units of B12 and manufacturing the remaining bearings.
b. Purchasing 8,000 units of B12 and manufacturing 11,000 units of B18.
c. Purchasing 11,000 units of B18 and manufacturing 8,000 units of B12.
d. Purchasing 4,000 units of B18 and manufacturing the remaining bearings.
e. None of the above; answer is
