Kahle company has two support departments: purchasing and payroll. the purchasing department expense is $500,000 to process 50,000 purchase requisitions, which are the cost driver for the department. the payroll department expense is $300,000 to process 25,000 payroll checks, which are the cost driver for the department. the assembly department has 50 employees and required the issuance of 1,300 payroll checks for the year. how much of the payroll department's cost is allocated to the assembly department?
a. $20,800
b. $15,600
c. $13,000
d. $1,300
feedback: incorrect. the allocation rate is $300,000 ÷ 25,000 = $12. $12 × 1,300 payroll checks issued to assembly = $15,600 to be allocated to the assembly department.

Dahlia enterprises needs someone to supply it with 127,000 cartons of machine screws per year to support its manufacturing needs over the next five years, and you’ve decided to bid on the contract. it will cost you $940,000 to install the equipment necessary to start production; you’ll depreciate this cost straight-line to zero over the project’s life. you estimate that in five years, this equipment can be salvaged for $77,000. your fixed production costs will be $332,000 per year, and your variable production costs should be $11.00 per carton. you also need an initial investment in net working capital of $82,000. if your tax rate is 30 percent and your required return is 11 percent on your investment, what bid price should you submit? (do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
