As part of your competitive analysis, you notice that at Baldwin Corporation the Promo and Sales budgets of the Best product are pretty low. You wonder how doubling Best's Sales and Promo budget next year will increase demand--and aversely affect your sales. Examine the profitability of this scenario to Baldwin. For simplicity, assume the following:- Price remains unchanged at $19.00.- Variable costs reported on the Production Analysis Report remain constant: material stays at $6.93/unit and labor at $2.81/unit.- Promo and Sales budgets double from $1,000,000 and $1,000,000 respectively.- No inventory carry costs.- All other period costs are the same as reported on last year's Annual Report. Estimate how many units of Best would have to be sold to reach break even. a.446 thousand units b.698 thousand units c.914 thousand units d.340 thousand units

White company has two departments, cutting and finishing. the company uses a job-order costing system and computes a predetermined overhead rate in each department. the cutting department bases its rate on machine-hours, and the finishing department bases its rate on direct labor-hours. at the beginning of the year, the company made the following estimates: department cutting finishing direct labor-hours 6,000 30,000 machine-hours 48,000 5,000 total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $ 264,000 $ 366,000 variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 2.00 " variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour " $ 4.00 required: 1. compute the predetermined overhead rate for each department. 2. the job cost sheet for job 203, which was started and completed during the year, showed the following: department cutting finishing direct labor-hours 6 20 machine-hours 80 4 direct materials $ 500 $ 310 direct labor cost $ 108 $ 360 using the predetermined overhead rates that you computed in requirement (1), compute the total manufacturing cost assigned to job 203. 3. would you expect substantially different amounts of overhead cost to be assigned to some jobs if the company used a plantwide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours, rather than using departmental rates?
