The SmokeCity, Inc., manufactures barbeque smokers. Based on past experience, SmokeCity has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = $543,000 + $1.34X, where X equals number of smokers. Last year, SmokeCity produced 20,000 smokers. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected. What is the fixed overhead cost per unit? (Round the answers to the nearest cent. Use those figures in subsequent computations, if necessary.)

Use Table 2 to answer this question. XYZ Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system (Table 2). The company makes 430 units of product ABA a year, requiring a total of 1,120 machine-hours, 40 orders, and 30 inspection-hours per year. The product's direct materials cost is $49.81 per unit and its direct labor cost is $12.34 per unit. The product sells for $130 per unit. According to the activity-based costing system, the product margin for product ABA is: Select one: O a $4.290.10. O b. $4159.50. Oc $4 116.50. Od $3.815.50. O e. none of the given answer
Sardi Inc. is considering whether to continue to make a component or to buy it from an outside supplier. The company uses 13,100 of the components each year. The unit product cost of the component according to the company's cost accounting system is given as follows: Direct materials $ 8.90 Direct labor 5.90 Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead 3.70 Unit product cost $ 20.20 Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. Of the fixed manufacturing overhead, 20% is avoidable if the component were bought from the outside supplier. In addition, making the component uses 2 minutes on the machine that is the company's current constraint. If the component were bought, time would be freed up for use on another product that requires 4 minutes on this machine and that has a contribution margin of $5.30 per unit. When deciding whether to make or buy the component, what cost of making the component should be compared to the…
