harkovskaia [24]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Direct material = 4 × 33300 = Make $133200 ; Net income increase

Direct labor = 5 × 33300 = Make $166500 ; Net income increase

Variable costing= 0.61 × $166500 = Make $101565 ; Net income increase

Fixed manufacturing = Make 43100 ; Buy 43100 ;

Purchase price = 13.16 × 33300 = Buy $438228 ; Net income decrease

Total annual cost:

Make: $444365

Buy: $481328

Net income decrease = $36963

b. No, Pottery Ranch should not buy the finials. There's an incremental cost of $36963.

c. Incremental revenue = $50,367

Incremental cost = $36963

Incremental revenue = $50367 - $36963 = $13404

In this case, it should be bought.

The master budget of Carpenter Company shows that the planned activity level for next year is expected to be 100,000 machine hou
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Total overhead cost= $988,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Activity level= 100,000 machine hours

Indirect labor $480,000

Machine supplies 120,000

Indirect materials 140,000

Depreciation on factory building 100,000

First, we need to calculate the unitary overhead costs per machine-hours. <u>Depreciation is a fixed cost.</u>

Indirect labor= 480,000/100,000= $4.8

Machine supplies= 120,000/100,000= $1.2

Indirect materials= 140,000/100,000= $1.4

<u>Now, we can determine the total overhead cost for 120,000 machine hours.</u>

<u></u>

Indirect labor= 4.8*120,000= 576,000

Machine supplies= 1.2*120,000= 144,000

Indirect materials= 1.4*120,000= 168,000

Depreciation= 100,000

Total overhead cost= $988,000

Oscar and Julia can both produce either bananas or coffee. Oscar can produce either 16 pounds of coffee and 0 pounds of bananas
Aneli [31]

Answer:

d)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of coffee is 4 lbs. of bananas for Oscar.

Explanation:

a)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of bananas is 4 lbs. of coffee for Oscar.

In order to produce 64 pounds of banana, Oscar has to give up producing 16 pounds of coffee, his opportunity cost is:

C= \frac{16}{64}= 0.25

The statement is false.

b)Oscar has absolute advantage in the production of coffee.

Julia has a higher production capacity for coffee (20 pounds to 16 pounds) and therefore has the absolute advantage.

The statement is false.

c)Julia has comparative advantage in the production of bananas.

Julia has a higher opportunity cost for producing a pound of bananas (0.5 pounds of coffee to 0.25 pounds of coffee) and therefore does not have the comparative advantage.

The statement is false.

d)The opportunity cost of 1 lb. of coffee is 4 lbs. of bananas for Oscar.

In order to produce 16 pounds of coffee, Oscar has to give up producing 64 pounds of banana, his opportunity cost is:

C= \frac{64}{16}= 4

The statement is true.
