Mallory Company manufactures widgets. Bowden Company has approached Mallory with a proposal to sell the company widgets at a pri

ce of $82,000 for 100,000 units. Mallory is currently making these components in its own factory. The following costs are associated with this part of the process when 100,000 units are produced: Direct material $ 31,000 Direct labor 29,000 Manufacturing overhead 40,000 Total $100,000 The manufacturing overhead consists of $16,000 of costs that will be eliminated if the components are no longer produced by Mallory. From Mallory's point of view, how much is the incremental cost or savings if the widgets are bought instead of made? Select one: a. $18,000 incremental savings b. $6,000 incremental cost c. $2,000 incremental savings d. $18,000 incremental cost

Answer:

$6,000 incremental cost

Explanation:

Manufacturing the widgets in-house would be a more cost effective method than buying from Bowden Company.

Direct Costs relating to in-house manufacturing (of 100,000 units) are as follows:

Direct material = $31,000

Direct labour = $29,000

Manufacturing overhead directly related to the manufacture of the widgets: $16,000.

Therefore, total direct costs = $76,000.

Only the portion of manufacturing overhead directly affected by the widget production needs to be account for. This is because manufacturing overhead will be incurred irrespective of whether Mallory Company produces the widget or not. Therefore, manufacturing overhead is not an incremental cost incurred by the widget production, except for the portion directly affected.

Accordingly, producing in-house ($76,000 direct cost) is more cost effective that buying from Bowden Company ($82,000) by $6,000.

The incremental cost if the widgets are bought instead of made is therefore $6,000.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

worker's production rate = 60/3 = 20units per hour

monthly capacity 160 x 20 = 3200 units.

capacity needed to produce 2000000 units

= 2000000/3200

= 625

therefore, since they already have 500 workers, they need to hire 125 more workers.

b) At the end of October they will have 2 million inventory.

c) Average inventory in each of the months has been listed in the attachment below.

A company had beginning inventory of 5 units that cost $10 each. During the month, 15 units were purchased for $11 each. The com
zysi [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Using FIFO,

Under First in First out method, items that were purchased first will be availed for sale first.  In this case, the opening stock of 5 at $10 items will be sold first.  An additional 7 units will be required from the next batch of purchases at $11.

The costs of the first 12 units will be

=(5 x 10)+ (7 x 11)

=50 +77

=$127

With LIFO, the items acquired last will be sold first. In this case, the 12 items sold will come the batch of 15 purchased at $11 in the months

Using LIFO, the cost of goods available for sale.

=12 X $11

=132

The difference is the costs of goods available for sale is $ 5, with FIFO having a lower cost. It means FIFO profits will be $5 more.

Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county. He owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late. The county ch
GrogVix [38]

Answer: $250

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Elmo Johnson was late on his property tax payment to the county and that he owed $7,500 and paid the tax four months late.

We are further told that the county charges an annual penalty of 10%. The amount of the penalty for the four-month period goes thus:

Annual penalty = 10% × $7500

= 0.1 × $7500

= $750

Since he is four months late and there are twelve months in a year, this will be:

= $750 × 4/12

= $750 × 1/3

= $750/3

= $250

nevsk [136]

Answer:

B. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $20,000; Cost of goods sold after closing the manufacturing overhead account is $431,000.

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead refers to the factors or conditions that keeps a facotry running. These include electricity, deprecaition on factory, etc.

In the case of the queetion above, the manufacturing overhead has been over applied by $20,000 (i.e: $73,000 - $53,000). This over application of the manufacturing overhead has also affected the cost of goods sold after closing out the manufacturing overhead account

Since the overapplied amount is $20,000, we deduct the overapplied amount from the cost of sales ($471,000) to get the actual costs of goods sold after closing out the manufacturing overhead account.

We then have ($451,000 - $20,000) = $431,000.

Therefore, the cost of goods sold after closing the manufacturing overhead account is $431,000.

Cheers.
