A.12,500

B. 12 times

C.If The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons there is no need of expanding the storage tanks reason been that the Economic order quantity is lesser than the storage capacity of the tank.

D. 5,000 gallons

=√2×150,000×250÷480

=12,500

b.)

=Demand quantity÷ Economic Ordering quantity

=150,000÷12,500

=12 times

c.) If The MBC storage tanks have a capacity of 15,000 gallons there is no need of expanding the storage tanks reason been that the Economic order quantity is lesser than the storage capacity of the tank.

d.) The reorder point can be calculated as follows;

= Lead time× Average

Average demand quatity =1,500/300

Reorder point 10×500

=5,000 gallons

Crane Company can produce and sell only one of the following two products: Oven Contribution Hours Required Margin Per Unit Muff
Makovka662 [10]

The question is reproduced in the table below for clarity                        

                               Oven                                  Contribution

                         Hours Required                 Margin Per Unit

Muffins                        0.2                                           $4

Coffee Cakes        0.3                                        $5

Answer:

Total contribution margin = $ 60,000.00

Explanation:

<em>When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate it for production purpose in  such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.</em>

Therefore Crane Company should alocate the oven hours to maximise the contribution per unit of oven hour. This is done as follows:

Step 1

<em>Calculate he contribution per oven hour and rank the product</em>

                                                                      cont/hr                   ranking

Muffin                        $4/0.2 hour =              20                     <em> 1st</em>

Coffee cakes                 $5/0.3 hour=        16.67                      2nd

<em>Because Muffin generates the highest contribution per hour of Oven, Crane should allocate all the resource to it</em>

Step 2

<em>Calculate the Total contribution from the production of Muffin</em>

Total contribution margin = 20 per her × 3000

                                        = $ 60,000.00

Tyare Corporation had the following inventory balances at the beginning and end of May:
densk [106]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) $5400

Explanation:

Solution

Calculation of the cost of direct material on May 1

Now,

The starting work In process inventory = Direct materials Cost  + Direct labor  Cost + Manufacturing overhead applied on W.I.P

13,500 = Direct materials cost  + 4500 + 3600

Thus,

Direct material cost = 13500 - 4500-3600 = $5400

Note:  Direct labor cost = 300 * 15 = $ 4500

The manufacturing overhead = 300 hour *  $12 = $ 3600

So, only expenses associated to work in process will be considered, hence only direct labor and manufacturing overhead are used to work in process are considered.
