Introduction:
To compute: The cot per minutes of the resource supplied in shipping department, time driven activity rate for all three activities, and the total labor cost consumed by customer L, M and N.
2.
Introduction: Job costing is a technique of determine the cost of a manufacturing job rather than the process of the job. Manufacturing overhead is applied to product or job order is determined as predetermined overhead.
To compute: The used capacity in minutes, unused capacity in minutes, unused capacity in number of employees, impact on expenses of matching capacity with demand.

- (Appendix 3A) Separating Fixed and Variable Costs, Service Setting Louise McDermott, controller for the Galvin plant of Veromar Inc., wanted to determine the cost behavior of moving materials throughout the plant. She accumulated the following data on the number of moves (from 100 to 800 in increments of 100) and the total cost of moving materials at those levels of moves: Required: 1. Prepare a scattergraph based on these data. Use cost for the vertical axis and number of moves for the horizontal axis. Based on an examination of the scattergraph, does there appear to be a linear relationship between the total cost of moving materials and the number of moves? 2. Compute the cost formula for moving materials by using the high-low method. Calculate the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves by using the high-low formula. (Note: Round the answer for the variable rate to three decimal places and the answer for total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Compute the cost formula for moving materials using the method of least squares. (Note: For the method of least squares, round the variable rate to two decimal places and total fixed cost and total cost to the nearest dollar.) Using the regression cost formula, what is the predicted cost for a month with 550 moves? What does the coefficient of determination tell you about the cost formula computed by regression? 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Evaluate the cost formula using the least squares coefficients. Could it be improved? Try dropping the third data point (300, 3,400), and rerun the regression.arrow_forwardPROBLEM 1 FIGHTING Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours (DLHs). The company has two products, H16Z and P25P, about which it has provided the following data: H16Z P25P Direct materials per unit P10.20 P50.50 Direct labor per unit P8.40 P25.20 Direct labor-hours per unit 0.40 1.20 Annual production 30,000 10,000 The company’s estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is P1,464,480 and the company’s estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 24,000. The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports.
