Explanation / Answer

Q. 6. Manufacturing Overhead allocated to product = 8000 * 6.25(NOTE 1) = $ 50000

(NOTE 1) :- Budgeted Manufacturing Overhead per hour = 125000 / 20000 = 6.25

Conclusion :- (D) $ 50000 is the right answer.

Q. 5. Cutomer will be charged $ 3900 which is calculated as below:-

a) Direct costs = 2000 +40%(mark up) = $ 2800

b) Indirect costs = $ 1100

So , the customer will be charged $ 3900 ( $ 2800 + $ 1100).

Conclusion:- (B) $ 3900 is the right answer.

Q . 7. Income Statement

Sales ( 200 * 110)

(-) Variable costs

22000

5400

24200 (NOTE 1)

5940 (NOTE 2)

Contribution

Total monthly contribution ( 16600 * 28) and (18260 * 28)

(-) Fixed costs

16600

464800

76000

18260

511280

96000 (NOTE 3)

Clearly net income will increase by $ 26480. ( 415280 - 388800)

(NOTE 1) Sales( after spending on advertisement) = 200 +10% = 220 * 110 =$ 24200

  (NOTE 2) Variable cost ( after spending on advertisement) = 200+10% = 220 * 27 = $ 5940

  (NOTE 3) Fixed cost ( after spending on advertisement) = 76000 + 20000 = $ 96000

Conclusion:- The right answer is (C) Net income would increase by $ 26480.

Q . 8. (A) Total costs for the month of february = $ 189400 [ (A) is the right answer ]

Q . 9. The amount of avoidable costs if Jones buys rather than makes the components will be B) $ 96000.

= 44000 + 20000 + 32000

= $ 96000

  

Cost of Order placed = ( 6 * 10) 60 Cost of Separate items ordered = ( 3 * 300) 900 Cost of return = ( 5 * 28) 140 Total indirect costs 1100
