Handy Company production budget for the year ended November 30, 2022 in Department C was based on 200,000 units. Each unit requires two standard hours of labor for completion. Total overhead was budgeted at $900,000 for the year and the fixed overhead rate was estimated to be $3 per unit. Both fixed and variable overhead are applied to the product on the basis of direct labor hours. The actual data for the year ended November 30, 2022 are:Actual production in units = 198,000 Actual direct labor hours = 440,000 Actual variable overhead = $352,000 Actual fixed overhead = $575,000a. What were the standard hours allowed for actual production for the year ended November 30, 2022?b. What was the VOH efficiency variance for the year? c. What was the VOH spending variance for the year?d. What was the FOH spending variance for the year?e. What was the FOH applied to Mooven's production for the year? f. What was the FOH production volume variance for the year?

- The company you work for currently allocates insurance costs on the basis of cost per direct labor hour. This indirect cost component for the year is budgeted at $36,000. If the annual direct labor hours for departments A, B, and C are expected to be 2000, 8000, and 5000, respectively, determine the allocation to each department.arrow_forwardAt the beginning of the year, managers at King Industries estimated $420000 in manufacturing overhead, 20000 direct labor hours and 50000 machine hours. Actual manufacturing costs at the end of the year were $425000 in manufacturing overhead. During the year, 22000 direct labor hours and 47000 machine hours were incurred. If overhead is applied based on direct labor hours, what is the predetermined overhead rate for the coming year? $21.00 per direct labor hour $8.40 per direct labor hour $19.09 per direct labor hour $9.04 per direct labor hourarrow_forwardHenleigh Hill, CFO of HH Corp., uses a decentralized company processing center for check collection. She estimates that the total annual cost of collections is currently $300,000. Henleigh is considering switching to a centralized company processing center, but she is worried about the required increase in fixed costs. Use the following assumptions to determine the maximum fixed cost of the centralized company processing center that would make Henleigh indifferent between a decentralized or centralized company processing center. Number of checks processed per year = 450,000 Average face value of checks = $1,000 Collection float for centralized processing = five days Variable processing cost per check for centralized processing = $0.25 Opportunity cost rate = 5 percentarrow_forward
- For the production of part R-193, two operations are being considered. The capital investment associated with each operation is identical. Operation 1 produces 2,000 parts per hour. After each hour, the tooling must be adjusted by the machine operator. This adjustment takes 20 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 1 is paid $20 per hour (this includes fringe benefits). Operation 2 produces 1,750 parts per hour, but the tooling needs to be adjusted by the operator only once every two hours. This adjustment takes 30 minutes. The machine operator for Operation 2 is paid $11 per hour (this includes fringe benefits). Assume an 8-hour workday. Further assume that all parts produced can be sold for $0.40 each. Should Operation 1 or Operation 2 be recommended?arrow_forwardA local U.S. Postal Service office is considering purchasing a 4,000 lb forklift truck, which will be used primarily for processing incoming as well as outgoing postal packages. Forklift trucks traditionally have been fueled by either gasoline, liquid propane gas (LPG), or diesel fuel. Battery-powered electric forklifts, however, arc increasingly popular in many industrial sectors because of their economic and environmental benefits. Therefore, the Postal Service is interested in comparing the four different types of forklifts. Purchase costs as well as annual operating and maintenance costs for each type of forklift are provided by a local utility company. Annual fuel and maintenance costs are measured in terms of number of shifts per year, where one shift is equivalent to eight hours of operation. A comparison of the variables of the four forklift types is given in the following table: The Postal Service is unsure of the number of shifts per year, but it expects them to be somewhere…arrow_forwardThe cumulative learning curve coefficient CLCC(20, 0.8) is defined as follows:a. the cost to produce 20 units in a process with c(1) = 1 and a learning rate of 0.8.b. the cost to produce one unit in a process with c(1) = 20 and a learning rate of 0.8.c. the cost to produce one unit in a process with c(1) = 1 and a learning rate of 0.820.d. the cost to produce the 20th unit in a process with c(1) = 1 and a learning rateof 0.8.arrow_forward
- The demand and cost function for a company are estimated to be as follows: P = 100 - Q TC = 50 + 80Q -10Q2 + 0.6Q3 What price should the company charge if it wants to maximize its profit in the short run? What price should it charge if it wants to maximize its revenue in the short run? Suppose the company lacks confidence in the accuracy of cost estimates expressed in a cubic equation and simply wants to use a linear approximation. Suggest a linear representation of this cubic equation. What difference would it make on the recommended profit-maximizing and revenue-maximizing prices?arrow_forwardShow that the two-input CES production(attached) has DRS, CRS, or IRS depending on whether B (beta) is smaller than, equal, or greater than 1.arrow_forwardIn addition to expenses for delivery and assembly of the facilities, Ammongas also has expenses for sales, administration, rent, etc. The company estimates that it is reasonable to state the total variable costs over an annual accounting period of approximately: TVC = 8,199,860 * Q3 - 123,570 * Q2 + 1,425,600 * Q, where Q is the number of plants delivered. 16 plants were delivered Derive the function expressions for the total AVC and MC functions mathematically within the given financial year.

- A local restaurateur who had been running a profitable business for many years, recently purchased a three-way liquor license. This on-premise license gives the owner the legal right to sell beer, wine, and spirits in her restaurant. The cost of obtaining the three-way license was about $90,000, since only 300 such licenses are issued by the state. While the license is transferable, only $75,000 is refundable if the owner chooses not to use the license. After selling alcoholic beverages for about one year, the restaurateur came to the realization that she was losing dining customers and that her profitable restaurant was turning into a noisy, unprofitable bar. Subsequently, she spent about $8,000 placing advertisements in various newspapers and restaurant magazines across the state offering to sell the license for $80,000. After a long wait, she finally received one offer to purchase her license for $77,000. a) Would you recommend that she accept the $77,000 offer? b) The restaurateur…arrow_forwardIdentify whether each of the following costs of Granite Construction, Inc., would be classified as direct labor, direct materials, manufacturing overhead, or as selling, general, and administrative costs.

Depreciation of bulldozers and other construction equipment. Advertising costs. Steel beams used in the construction of an office building.

It has determined that the first cost would be $80 million cash available for full implementation. However, John, the corporate vice president of sales, is not sure how well the service will be received, so he has projected added revenues using optimistic, most likely, and pessimistic estimates of $35 million, $25 million, and $10 million, respectively, with equal probability for each. Instead of expanding now, the company could implement a pilot program for 1 year in a limited geographic area that will cost $4 million now. (The full-scale service will still cost $80 million if implemented later.) This will provide the company with the option to move forward or cancel the project. The criterion identified to move ahead with full-scale implementation is that added revenues during the pilot program must exceed $900,000. In this…arrow_forward
