Angara Corporation uses activity-based costing to determine product costs for external financial reports. The company has provided the following data concerning its activity-based costing system:

Activities (and Activity Measures) Estimated Overhead Cost
Machine related (machine-hours) $362,600
Batch setup (setups) $421,500
General factory (direct labour-hours) $308,100

Expected Activity
Activities Product X Product Y Total
Machine related 6,000 8,000 14,000
Batch setup 12,000 3,000 15,000
General factory 5,000 8,000 13,000

Assuming that actual activity turns out to be the same as expected activity, the total amount of overhead cost allocated to Product X would be closest to:

a. $421,500
b. $897,500
c. $476,000
d. $611,100

Henry crouch's law office has traditionally ordered ink refills 55 units at a time. the firm estimates that carrying cost is 35% of the $11 unit cost and that annual demand is about 240 units per year. the assumptions of the basic eoq model are thought to apply. for what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal? a) for what value of ordering cost would its action be optimal?

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
