Southwick Products manufactures its products in two separate​ departments: Machining and Assembly. Total manufacturing overhead

costs for the year are budgeted at $1,050,000. Of this​ amount, the Machining Department incurs $ 650,000 ​(primarily for machine operation and​ depreciation) while the Assembly Department incurs $400,000. The company estimates that it will incur 5,000 machine hours​ (all in the Machining​ Department) and 10,000 direct labor hours ​(2,000 in the Machining Department and 8,000 in the Assembly​ Department) during the year.
Southwick Products currently uses a plantwide overhead rate based on direct labor hours to allocate overhead.​ However, the company is considering refining its overhead allocation system by using departmental overhead rates. The Machining Department would allocate its overhead using machine hours​ (MH), but the Assembly Department would allocate its overhead using direct labor​ (DL) hours. The following chart shows the machine hours​ (MH) and direct labor​ (DL) hours incurred by Jobs 500 and 501 in each production​ department:


Machining Department Assembly Department

Job 500….10 MH 15 DL hours
2 DL hours

Job 501…..20 MH
2 DL hours 15 DL hours

Both Jobs 500 and 501 used $1 ,000 of direct materials. Wages and benefits total $30 per direct labor hour. Southwick Products prices its products at 120% of total manufacturing costs.

Requirement:
a. Compute the company's current plantwide overhead rate.
b. Compute refined departmental overhead rates.

Answer:

a. 105

b. For machining $130

For assembly $50

Explanation:

a. The computation of the company's current plant-wide overhead rate is shown below:-

Current plant-wide overhead rate = Total manufacturing overhead  ÷ Total direct labor hours

= $1,050,000 ÷ 10,000

= 105

b. The computation of refined departmental overhead rates is shown below:-

Departmental overhead cost = Overhead cost of department ÷ Cost driver of department

For machining  

= $650,000 ÷ 5,000

= $130

For Assembly

= $400,000 ÷ 8,000

= $50

"Higher level professions require indepth knowledge, good skill, and special training." Explain this statement with examples.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Higher level professions are professions occupied by professionals who think strategically and carry out their duties by adhering to the ethical standards that governs their profession. Examples are medical practitioners, engineering, accountant and pilot. All these requires in-depth knowledge , good skill and special training because of the technical nature of the profession.

Having a degree is not enough to deliver on these professions because of their complexities. These professionals must adhere to the ethical standard that governs their profession and also hold themselves out of having the required training, knowledge and experience .

Take for instance a pilot who controls a plane. Asides having the required education, he would undergo special trainings on how to fly planes. He must also have the skills and experience of flying before being certified to fly people because of the risky nature of the profession.

The above example also applies to a doctor. He would undergo trainings depending on his area of specialization and must have knowledge before being certified to work as a doctor. The reason is that he is dealing with lives hence must possess the the required skills and experience.

Joyce Murphy runs a courier service in downtown Seattle. She charges clients $0.50 per mile driven. Joyce has determined that if
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is given below:

1.

Given that

Charges per mile = $0.50

Variable Cost per mile driven = $0.20

Fixed Cost = $215

So,  

Contribution Margin per mile = Charges per mile - Variable Cost per mile driven

$0.50 - $0.20

= $0.30

Break-even units (in miles) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin per mile

= $215 ÷ $0.30

= 717 miles

2.

Revenue for 4,200 miles is

= $0.50 × 4,200

= $2,100

And,

Variable Cost = $0.20 × 4,200

= $840

Now

Contribution Margin = Revenue - Variable Cost

= $2,100 - $840

= $1,260

And,

Fixed Cost = $215

So,

Net Income = Revenue - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost

= $2,100 - $840 - $215

= $1,045

So,  

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin ÷ Net Income

= $1,260 ÷ $1,045

= 1.2057

3.

Degree of Operating Leverage = % Change in Net Income ÷ % Change in Sales

1.2057 = % Change in Net Income ÷ -25%

1.2057 = % Change in Net Income ÷ -0.25

% Change in Net Income = -0.301425

= -30.1425%

Butterfly Corp. manufactures products M1 and M2 from a joint process, which also yields a by-product, B1. Butterfly accounts for
Katen [24]

Answer:

M1 allocated joint cost is $196,521.63  

Explanation:

In calculating the joint cost allocated to product M1, the formula below comes handy:

M1 allocated joint cost=M1 net realizable value/total realizable value*total joint costs

Note that net realizable value id the selling price less further to  make the sales,since there is no further costs to be incurred in making the sale, the selling price ultimately is the net realizable value.

M1 net realizable value is $402,000

total realizable value is $763,000

total joint cost is $373,000

M1 allocated joint cost=$402,000/$763,000*$373,000

M1 allocated joint cost= $196,521.63
