A company that produces pleasure boats has decided to expand one of its lines. Current facilities are insufficient to handle the increased workload, so the company is considering three alternatives, A (new location), B (subcontract), and C (expand existing facilities). Alternative A would involve substantial fixed costs but relatively low variable costs: fixed costs would be $270,000 per year, and variable costs would be $600 per boat. Subcontracting would involve a cost per boat of $2,620, and expansion would require an annual fixed cost of $57,000 and a variable cost of $1,030 per boat.A. Find the range of output for each alternative that would yield the lowest totalcost.A. 315,550 or more.B. 2,550 or 306,000.C. 57,050 or 182,000.B. Which alternative would yield the lowest total cost for an expected annual volumeof 120 boats?A. A.B. B. C. C.
The management of Nova Industries Inc. manufactures gasoline and diesel engines through two production departments, Fabrication and Assembly. Management needs accurate product cost information in order to guide product strategy. Presently, the company uses a single plantwide factory overhead rate for allocating factory overhead to the two products. However, management is considering the multiple production department factory overhead rate method. The following factory overhead was budgeted for Nova: Fabrication Department factory overhead........................................................$440,000Assembly Department factory overhead............................................................200,000Total.........................................................................................................................$640,000Direct labor hours were estimated as follows:______.Fabrication Department................................................................4,000 hoursAssembly Department....................................................................4,000Total..................................................................................................8,000 hoursIn addition, the direct labor hours (dlh) used to produce a unit of each product in eachdepartment were determined from engineering records, as follows:_______.Production Departments Gasoline Engine Diesel Engine Fabrication Department 6.0 dlh 4.0 dlh Assembly Department 4.0 6.0 Direct labor hours per unit 10.0 dlh 10.0 dlh a. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the gasoline and diesel engines under the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, using direct labor hours as the activity base.b. Determine the per-unit factory overhead allocated to the gasoline and diesel engines under the multiple production department factory overhead rate method, using direct labor hours as the activity base for each department.c.
