Ayssa's Custom Cakes currently sells 6 birthday, 5 wedding, and 4 specialty cakes each month for $40,

Ayssa's Custom Cakes currently sells 6 birthday, 5 wedding, and 4 specialty cakes each month for $40, $180, and $120 each respectively. The cost of labor is $60 per hour including benefits. It takes 90 minutes to produce a birthday cake, 240 minutes to produce a wedding cake, and 60 minutes to produce a specialty cake. Alyssa's current multifactor productivity ratio is 1.20.

What is Alyssa's labor productivity ratio in dollars per hour for the birthday cakes?
Solution:
Sale price per birthday cake                                                              = $40
Labor time per birthday cake in hours (90 minutes / 60 minutes) *            =  1.50 hours per cake
Labor productivity ratio in dollars per hour for the birthday cakes = Sale price per cake / labor time per birthday cake
                        = $40 / 1.50
                        = $26.67 per hour

Explain the generation of the Income Statement. Where does the information come from and how is it structured? Who uses this report and what information are they interested in? Do provide the textbook

Explain the generation of the Income Statement. Where does the information come from and how is it structured? Who uses this report and what information are they interested in? Do provide the textbook

Answer

Income statement is prepared to compute the earning of the company for a specific period of time. The income is calculated by deducting the expenses of a period from the revenue of that specific period of the company to arrive at the earning of the company in that specific period. This information is derived from the trial balance of the company that is prepared at the end of each period. The basic format of income statement is as follows:
Revenue                                                                                 = $xxxxx
Less: Cost of goods sold / cost of services rendered          = $xxxxx
Gross Profit                                                                           = $xxxxx
Less: Selling & Administrative expenses                           = $xxxxx
Operating Income                                                                 = $xxxxx
Less: Income tax expense                                                    = $xxxxx
Net income after tax                                                             = $xxxxx
The users of the income statement are:

• The existing stockholders who use this information to determine the expected return for the shares in the shape of dividend.
• The prospective stockholders who are interested to determine the company earning capability for making the investment decision.
• The Government to evaluate the tax collection based on the earning of the company.
• The lenders i.e. financial institutions to evaluate the pay back capacity and risk associated with their investment in the company.
• The employees to determine the financial stability of the company.

Explain why a costing system that uses either a plantwide or a departmental overhead rate is likely to produce distorted product costs.

Explain why a costing system that uses either a plantwide or a departmental overhead rate is likely to produce distorted product costs.

Answer
Plant wide or a departmental overhead rate is calculated on the basis of a single cost allocation base i.e. direct labor hours or direct labor cost. This predetermined rate is then used to allocate the overhead cost to allocate the cost to the products. So, the product using the higher amount of allocation base units i.e. direct labor hours or direct labor cost will be charged with more overhead cost. All this cost allocation process is ignoring the actual overhead bases used by the different products in the different production processes.
So, it will not be possible to get the accurate production cost of the units produced based on the plant wide or a departmental overhead rate.

(x-4)/(x+6)=(2x+3)/(2x-1)

(x-4)/(x+6)=(2x+3)/(2x-1)

By cross multiplying
(x-4) (2x-1)=( 2x+3) (x+6)
2X²-8x-x+4=2x²+12x+3x+18
2X²-9x+4=2x²+15x+18
2X²-9x+4-2x²-15x-18=0
-24x -14=0
-24x = 14
Divided by -24  both side, we have
X =14/-24
Cutting by 2
X = 7/-12
