Description
1. The
work-in-process inventory account of a manufacturing company shows a balance of
$3,000 at the end of an accounting period. The job-cost sheets of the two
incomplete jobs show charges of $500 and $300 for direct materials, and charges
of $400 and $600 for direct labor. From
this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead
rate as a percentage of direct labor
costs. What percentage is the rate?

margin ratio is 40 percent. If Rice Company desires a profit of $84,000, how much would sales have to total?
3. Williams
Company’s direct labor cost is 25 percent of its conversion cost. If the
manufacturing overhead for the last period was $45,000 and the direct material

Black Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.
The company’s ending work-inprocess inventory consists of 6,000 units, 75
percent complete with respect to materials and 50 percent complete with respect

At Overland Company, maintenance cost is exclusively a variable cost that
varies directly with machine-hours. The performance report for July showed that

Denny Corporation is considering replacing a technologically obsolete machine with a new
state-of-the-art numerically controlled
machine. The new machine would cost $600,000 and would have a 10-year useful
life. Unfortunately, the new machine would have no salvage value. The new
machine would cost $20,000 per year to
operate and maintain, but would save $125,000 per year in labor and
other costs. The old machine can be sold now for scrap for $50,000. What
percentage is the simple rate of return on the new machine rounded to the
nearest tenth of a percent? (Ignore income taxes in this problem.)

Lounsberry Inc. regularly uses material O55P and currently has in stock 375
liters of the material, for which it paid $2,700 several weeks ago. If this

$6.35 per liter. New stocks of the material can be purchased on the open market
for $7.20 per liter, but it must be purchased in lots of 1,000 liters. You’ve
been asked to determine the relevant cost of 900 liters of the material to be
used in a job for a customer. What is the relevant cost of the 900 liters of
material O55P?
