DynaMore is a video console manufacturer. Information about the company’s two products follows: The company incurs $885,800 in overhead per year and has traditionally applied overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. Each unit of product requires one testing. Required How much overhead will be allocated to each product using the traditional direct labor hours allocation base? What overhead cost per unit will be allocated to each product? Assume that DynaMore has identified three activity cost pools. Given these activity pools and cost drivers, determine the activity rates. How much overhead should be allocated to each TD-1000 under activity-based costing? Explain the difference in overhead costs per console under traditional costing and activity-based costing.

The Gardner Theater, a community playhouse, needs to determine the lowest-cost production budget for an upcoming show. Specifically, they have to determine which set pieces to construct and which, if any, set pieces to rent from another local theater at a predetermined fee. However, the organization has only two weeks to fully construct the set before the play goes into technical rehearsals. The theater has two part-time carpenters who work up to 12 hours a week, each at $10 an hour. Additionally, the theater has a part-time scenic artist who can work 15 hours per week to paint the set and props as needed at a rate of $15 per hour. The set design requires 20 flats (walls), two hanging drops with painted scenery, and three large wooden tables (props). The number of hours required for each piece for carpentry and painting is shown below: Gardner Theater Hours Required/Piece Carpentry Painting Flats 0.5 2.0 Hanging Drops 2.0 12.0 Props 3.0 4.0 Hours Available 48.0…

Please do not give solution in image formate thanku. There are four critical paths in a network. A-B-C-D-E, A-F-E, A-B-H-J-K-E and A-S-T-E. Each activity in this network can be crashed by a maximum of 4 weeks. The crashing cost (per week), for the first week (crashing first time), for activity A is: $400, E is $415 and all other activities is : $100 (per week per activity). The crashing cost, second week and onwards(crashing second time), for activity A is $1000 per week, E is $1200 per week and for all other activities is $200 per activity per week. You have a maximum crashing budget of $2505. The maximum possible reduction in the project duration will be: a. 2 weeks b. 3 weeks c. 4 weeks d. 5 weeks e. 6 weeks
The bottom-up estimating technique encompasses the following basic steps. Choose 4 of the 5 answers 1. Estimates resources for each piece of work or work package. 2. Decomposes activities into smaller units of work. 3. It does consider the fixed cost of project activities. 4. Aggregates all estimates into a total quantity. 5. Considers work, material, and cost resources needed for each project activity.
Entriken Machinery specializes in developing weed-harvesting equipment that is used to clear small lakes of weeds. Dick Entriken, president of Entriken Machinery, is convinced that harvesting weeds is far better than using chemicals to kill weeds. Chemicals cause pollution, and the weeds seem to grow faster after chemicals have been used. Dick is contemplating the construction of a machine that could harvest weeds on narrow rivers and waterways. The activities that are necessary to build one of these experimental weed-harvesting machines are listed in the accompanying table.       ----------------------------------------------        Activity   Immediate        Time (weeks)                        predecessor         ---------------------------------------------           A             -                         6           B             -                         5           C              A                       3           D              A                      2           E…
