I only need an answer to question 1, had previously asked this question and the answer I was given is incorrect, see attachment Polaski Company manufactures and sells a single product called a Ret. Operating at capacity, the company can produce and sell48,000 Rets per year. Costs associated with this level of production and sales are given below:UnitTotal$ 25$ 1,200,000288,000144,000336,000192,000288,000Direct materialsDirect laborVariable manufacturing overheadFixed manufacturing overheadVariable selling expenseFixed selling expense374Total cost$ 51$ 2,448,000The Rets normally sell for $56 each. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $336,000 per year within the range of 41,000 through 48,000Rets per year. Required:1. Assume that due to a recession, Polaski Company expects to sell only 41,000 Rets through regular channels next year. A large retailchain has offered to purchase 7,000 Rets if Polaski is willing to accept a 16% discount off the regular price. There would be no salescommissions on this order; thus, variable selling expenses would be slashed by 75%. However, Polaski Company would have topurchase a special machine to engrave the retail chain's name on the 7,000 units. This machine would cost $14,000. Polaski Companyhas no assurance that the retail chain will purchase additional units in the future. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) ofaccepting the special order? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)2. Refer to the original data. Assume again that Polaski Company expects to sell only 41,000 Rets through regular channels next year.The U.S. Army would like to make a one-time-only purchase of 7,000 Rets. The Army would pay a fixed fee of $1.80 per Ret, and itwould reimburse Polaski Company for all costs of production (variable and fixed) associated with the units. Because the army wouldpick up the Rets with its own trucks, there would be no variable selling expenses associated with this order. What is the financialadvantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?3. Assume the same situation as described in (2) above, except that the company expects to sell 48,000 Rets through regular channelsnext year. Thus, accepting the U.S. Army's order would require giving up regular sales of 7,000 Rets. Given this new information, whatis the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the U.S. Army's special order?X Answer is complete but not entirely correct.1.Financial advantage$ 49,280

Oakes Inc. manufactured 40,000 gallons of Mononate and 60,000 gallons of Beracyl in a joint production process, incurring 250,000 of joint costs. Oakes allocates joint costs based on the physical volume of each product produced. Mononate and Beracyl can each be sold at the split-off point in a semifinished state or, alternatively, processed further. Additional data about the two products are as follows: An assistant in the companys cost accounting department was overheard saying ...that when both joint and separable costs are considered, the firm has no business processing either product beyond the split-off point. The extra revenue is simply not worth the effort. Which of the following strategies should be recommended for Oakes?
Colonels uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $480,000, with the estimated cost driver of 240,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates these costs: If the labor rate is $25 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?
Bobcat uses a traditional cost system and estimates next years overhead will be $800.000, as driven by the estimated 25,000 direct labor hours. It manufactures three products and estimates the following costs: If the labor rate is $30 per hour, what is the per-unit cost of each product?
Remarkable Enterprises requires four units of part A for every unit of Al that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Remarkable, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced: Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.60 per unit. The other $0.50 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Remarkable will need 8,000 units of part A for the next years production. Altoona Corporation has offered to supply 8,000 units of part A at a price of $8.00 per unit. If Remarkable accepts the offer, all of the variable costs and $2,000 of the fixed costs will be avoided. Should Remarkable accept the offer from Altoona Corporation?
Ellerson Company provided the following information for the last calendar year: During the year, direct materials purchases amounted to 278,000, direct labor cost was 189,000, and overhead cost was 523,000.

Calculate the unit manufacturing cost. 3. Of the unit manufacturing cost calculated in Requirement 2, 2.70 is direct materials and 5.30 is overhead. What is the prime cost per unit? Conversion cost per unit?
Natur-Gro, Inc., manufactures composters. Based on past experience, Natur-Gro has found that its total annual overhead costs can be represented by the following formula: Overhead cost = 264,000 + 1.42X, where X equals number of composters. Last year, Natur-Gro produced 30,000 composters. Actual overhead costs for the year were as expected. Total overhead for per unit was a. 1.42 b. 8.80 c. 11.63 d. 10.22

Box Springs, Inc., makes two sizes of box springs: twin and double. The direct material for the twin is $25 per unit and $40 s used in direct labor, while the direct material for the double is $40 per unit, and the labor cost is $50 per unit.

It estimates the overhead for each cost pool and cost driver activities as follows: How much does each unit cost to manufacture?
Patz Company produces two types of machine parts: Part A and Part B, with unit contribution margins of 300 and 600, respectively. Assume initially that Patz can sell all that is produced of either component. Part A requires two hours of assembly, and B requires five hours of assembly. The firm has 300 assembly hours per week. Required: 1. Express the objective of maximizing the total contribution margin subject to the assembly-hour constraint. 2. Identify the optimal amount that should be produced of each machine part and the total contribution margin associated with this mix. 3. What if market conditions are such that Patz can sell at most 75 units of Part A and 60 units of Part B? Express the objective function with its associated constraints for this case and identify the optimal mix and its associated total contribution margin.
