Answer:
a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.
Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.
Hence, to assign overhead costs to each product, the company multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.
In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;
Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.
Fitness Fanatics is a regional chain of health clubs. The managers of the clubs, who have authority to make investments as needed, are evaluated based largely on return on investment (ROI). The company's Springfield Club reported the following results for the past year:
Sales $780,000
Net operating income $17,940
Average operating assets $100,000
The following questions are to be considered independently.

Bluebean Inc. produces two lines of coffee cups: espresso coffee cups and travel coffee mugs. The unit cost information is shown here. The company uses a traditional volume-based costing system and believes that the number of labor hours is the appropriate cost driver
Activity Cost Pool Espresso Coffee Cups Travel Coffee Mugs
Selling price $20 $25
Direct materials $6 $8
Direct labor $2 $5
Units produced 10,000 units 4,000 units
Direct labor hours 10,000 hours 6,000 hours
Estimated total overhead costs $80,000
Item Espresso coffee cups Travel coffee mugs
Pre-determined overhead rate
Total manufacturing overhead allocated
Manufacturing cost per unit
Gross profit unit
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 80,000 / (10,000 + 6,000)
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Espresso coffee cups= 5*10,000= 50,000
Travel coffee mugs= 5*6,000= 30,000
In unitary bases:
Espresso coffee cups= 50,000/10,000= 5
Travel coffee mugs= 30,000/4,000= 7.5
Finally, the total unitary cost and the gross profit per unit:
Espresso coffee cups:
Total unitary cost= 6 + 2 + 5= $13
Gross profit= 20 - 13= $7
Travel coffee mugs:
Total unitary cost= 8 + 5 + 7.5= $20.5
Gross profit= 25 - 20.5= $4.5
Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $58,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $63,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $388,250. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $614,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
Answer: $2.05 per unit
Explanation:
First find out the Equivalent units for materials:
= Units started and completed + Ending work in process
= 180,000 + 37,500
= 217,500 units
Find out total cost of materials:
= Costs in beginning Work in Process for materials + Cost incurred in February
= 58,000 + 388,250
= $446,250
Cost per equivalent unit:
= Total costs / Equivalent units
= 446,250 / 217,500
= $2.05 per unit
A company is offering perpetual preferred stock (its dividend payments last forever) with a fixed annual dividend of $100. If your required rate of return on this investment is 12 percent, what is the value of each share
Answer:
833.33
Explanation:
The fixed annual dividend is $100
The required rate of return on this investment is 12%
Therefore the value for each share can be calculated as follows
= 100/(12/100)
= 100/0.12
= 833.33
Hence the value for each share is 833.33
Cavy Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,470,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 40,000 hours. The machine hours for the month of April for all of the jobs were 4,780.
Required:
Prepare the journal entry to apply factory overhead.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry to record the factory overhead is given below:
Predetermined Overhead rate is
= Estimated overhead ÷ Estimated machine hours
= $1,470,000 ÷ 40,000
= $36.75 per mh
Now journal entry is
Work in Process $175,665
To Factory Overhead $175,665 (4780 × 36.75)
(Being the factory overhead applied is recorded)
Here work in process is debited as it increased the assets and credited the factory overhead as it decreased the expense

Botox Facial Care had earnings after taxes of $282,000 in 20X1 with 200,000 shares of stock outstanding. The stock price was $81.80. In 20X2, earnings after taxes increased to $418,000 with the same 200,000 shares outstanding. The stock price was $94.00.
Required:
a. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X1.
b. Compute earnings per share and the P/E ratio for 20X2.
c. Why did the P/E ratio change? (
Answer:The earnings per share and The P/E ratio for 20X1 is $1.41 and $58.01 respectively.
The earnings per share and The P/E ratio for 20X2 is $2.09 and $44.976 respectively.
Explanation:
a. Earning per shares = Earning after Taxes / total Shares outstanding
= $282,000/200,000
= $1.41
Therefore, The earnings per share for 20X1 is $1.41
P/E RATIO = Price Per shares/Earning per shares
= $81.80/$1.41
= $58.01
Therefore, The P/E ratio for 20X1 is $58.01
b. Earning per shares = Earning after Taxes / total Shares outstanding
= $418,000/200,000
= $2.09
Therefore, The earnings per share for 20X2 is $2.09
P/E RATIO = Price Per shares/Earning per shares
= $94.00/$2,09
= $44.976
Therefore, The P/E ratio for 20X2 is $44.976
c.The P/E ratio changed from $58.01 to $44.976 because of the change in earnings per share and the stock price per share.

May 31, Novac Corp. Has net sales of $415,000 in cost of goods available for sale of $286,000 compute the estimated cost of the ending inventory assuming the gross profit rate is 37%
Answer:
$24,550
Explanation:
Computation for the estimated cost of the ending inventory
Net Sales = $415,000
Gross Profit rate= 37%
Cost of goods Sold = 100%- 37% = 63%
Cost of Goods Sold =$415,000*63% = $261,450
Cost of Goods Available for sale = $286,000
Using this formula
Estimated Cost of Ending Inventory= Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of Goods Sold
Let plug in the formula
Estimated Cost of Ending Inventory = $286,000-$261,450
Estimated Cost of Ending Inventory = $24,550
Therefore the estimated cost of the ending inventory is $24,550

A truck acquired at a cost of $195,000 has an estimated residual value of $10,200, has an estimated useful life of 56,000 miles, and was driven 5,000 miles during the year. Determine the following:
a. The depreciable cost $___________
b. The depreciation rate $__________ per mile
c. The units-of-activity depreciation for the year $__________
Answer:
a. $184,800
b. 3.3 per miles
c. 16,500
Explanation:
(a) Calculation to determine The depreciable cost
Depreciable cost =Cost - estimated residual value
Depreciable cost=$195,000- $10,200
Depreciable cost=$184,800
(b) Calculation to determine The depreciation rate
Depreciation rate = $184,800/useful life 56,000 miles
Depreciation rate =3.3per mile
(c) Calculation to determine The units-of-activity depreciation for the year
Units-of-activity depreciation =3.3per mile*5,000 miles
Units-of-activity depreciation=16,500
Therefore The units-of-activity depreciation for the year is 16,500
A firm wants to sponsor an engineering lab. This requires $2.5M to construct the lab, $1.2M to equip it, and $600,000 every 5 years for new equipment. What is the required endowment if the university will earn 6% interest on funds
Answer:
$5.47M
Explanation:
The required endowment from the sponsor is the total costs required immediately plus the present value of the new equipment that needs to be purchased every five years as shown thus:
Immediate costs=cost of lab construction+cost of equipping the lab
Immediate costs=$2.5M+$1.2M
Immediate costs=$3.7M
Present value of every 5 years equipment cost=cost/(1+interest)^n-1
interest rate=6%
n=5 years(the frequency of incurring the cost)
PV=$0.60M/(1+6%)^5-1
PV=$0.60M/0.33822558
PV=$1.77M
required endowment =$3.70M+$1.77M
required endowment =$5.47M
