Variable costs and activity bases in decision making The owner of Dawg Prints, a printing company, is planning direct labor needs for the upcoming year. The owner has provided you with the following information for next year's plans: Each color on the banner must be printed one at a time. Thus, for example, a four-color banner will need to be run through the printing operation four separate times. The total production volume last year was 600 banners, as shown below. The four-color banner is a new product offering for the upcoming year. The owner believes that the expected 600-unit increase in volume from last year means that direct labor expenses should increase by 100% (600 + 600). What do you think?
Question Content Area Prior to installing a JIT system, Grindstone Company used machine hours to assign maintenance costs to its three products of 4-inch, 6-inch, and 9-inch insulation. The maintenance costs totaled $432,000 per year. The machine hours used by each product and the quantity produced of each product are as follows: Machine Hours Quantity Produced 4-inch 5,000 15,000 rolls 6-inch 12,000 12,500 rolls 9-inch 7,000 11,200 rolls After installing JIT, three manufacturing cells were created, and the cell workers were trained to perform maintenance. Maintenance costs for the three cells still totaled $432,000; however, these costs are now traceable to each cell. Cell, 4-inch $125,000 Cell, 6-inch 175,000 Cell, 9-inch 165,000 The maintenance cost per roll of 9-inch insulation before JIT is installed would be a. $14.00. b. $11.25. c. $7.75. d. $30.00.

Question 6 Amundsen Company makes 60,000 units per year of a part it uses in the products it manufactures. The unit product cost of this part is computed as follows: Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable Manufacturing Overhead Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Variable Selling Fixed Selling Total $ 10.10 $17.40 $ 2.70 $15.00 $ 2.75 $ 3.25 $51.20 An outside supplier has offered to sell the company all of these parts it needs. If the company accepts this offer, the facilities now being used to make the part would be idle and fixed manufacturing overhead would be reduced by 80% of current cost. The variable selling costs would be reduced to 40% of current cost. Required: What is the maximum amount the company should be willing to pay an outside supplier per unit for the part?
Answer and solution pls Motor Company manufactures 10,000 units of Part M-l each year for use in its production. The following total costswere reported last year:Direct materials P 20,000Direct labor 55,000Variable manufacturing overhead 45,000Fixed manufacturing overhead 70,000Total manufacturing cost P190,000Valve Company has offered to sell Motor 10,000 units of Part M-l for P18 per unit.
