A company manufactures hair dryers. It buys some of the components, but it makes the heating element, which it can produce at th

e rate of 860 per day. Hair dryers are assembled daily, 251 days a year, at a rate of 330 per day. Because of the disparity between the production and usage rates, the heating elements are periodically produced in batches of 2,300 units.
a. Approximately how many batches of heating elements are produced annually? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Number of batches
b. If production on a batch begins when there is no inventory of heating elements on hand, how much inventory will be on hand 2 days later? Number of inventory
c.What is the average inventory of elements, assuming each production cycle begins when there are none on hand? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Average inventory
d. The same equipment that is used to make the heating elements could also be used to make a component for another of the firm’s products. That job would require 3 days, including setup. Setup time for making a batch of the heating elements is a half day. Is there enough time to do this job between production of batches of heating elements?

i. No
ii. Yes

Answer:

(a) 93.85 batches of heating elements are produced annually

(b) 1725

(c) 863

(d) Yes

Explanation:

(a) Daily production rate is 860 units

Annual (251 days) production rate is = 251×860 = 215860 units

In a batch, 2300 units are produced

215860 units are produced in (215860 ÷ 2300) = 93.85 batches

(b) In 251 days, 93.85 batches are produced

In 2 days, (93.85×2)÷251 is produced = 0.75 batch

1 batch = 2300 units

0.75 batch = 0.75×2300=1725 units

(c) 0.75 batch is produced in 2days

1 batch is produced in 2/0.75days

Average= (2300×0.75)÷2= 863

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Net Sales for the month ended is equal to $9,702.

Explanation:

Sale = 100 x $100 = $10,000

Discount = $10,000 x 1% = $100

Sales Return = $198

Net Sales = Sales Price - Sales Discount - Sales Return

Net Sales = $10,000 - $100 - $198

Net Sales = $9,702

Net Sales for the month ended is equal to $9,702.

$20 is an expense and it is not an contra revenue account. So, it is not considered in net sales calculation.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Calculation of Avoidable Cost:

Direct Materials                                     $3.40

Direct Labor                                           8.00

Variable manufacturing overhead          8.50

Supervisor's salary                                  3.90

Total Avoidable Cost                              $23.8

Note: Depreciation is a sunk cost and not relevant for decision making.

General Fixed Overhead will remain the same irrespective of decision. Hence, not relevant for decision making.

Evaluation of offer:

Loss on Sale from outside supplier (26.70-23.8)*15,500          $(44,950)

Additional Segment Margin earned                                          $27,500

Financial Advantage/(Disadvantage)                                          $(17,450)

Hence, annual financial disadvantage for the company as a result of buying part U16 from the outside supplier = $17,450

Faux Trees Company produces artificial Christmas trees. A local shopping mall recently made a special order offer; the shopping
Arlecino [84]

Answer: $‭16,925.9‬0 increase

Explanation:

Company already has the excess capacity to handle this order so the fixed costs will not be included as they would have already been incurred.

Cost of manufacturing the trees would be:

= Variable cost + Fixed cost

= ((51.61 + 3.80 + 1.00 + 8.26 for white tree) * 230 trees) + 5,000 for molds

= (64.67 * 230) + 5,000

= $‭19,874.1‬0

Incremental revenue = 230 trees * 160

= $36,800

Incremental operating income = 36,800 - ‭19,874.1‬

= $‭16,925.9‬0 increase
