You wish to take an Excel course. You may enroll at one within your school or you may take a community class at the local library. You've gathered the following information to aid in your decision-making process. Costs/Benefits College Course Community Course Cost $3,000 $1,000 Distance to course 0.25 miles (walking distance) 15 miles (driving distance) Timing of course Weekday Weekend Number of meetings 16 8 Qualitative considerations Convenience, quality of instruction Flexibility, brief duration If you enroll in the community class, you will be unable to work at your regular job on weekends for the eight weekend days when the class meets. If you typically earn $500 per weekend shift, which option would you choose (considering enrollment cost and opportunity cost)?

College course The opportunity cost (lost wages) is $4,000 ($500 × 8). The sum of opportunity cost and actual cost is $5,000 ($4,000 + $1,000), making the community course more expensive than the college course. The college course is the preferred alternative based on cost.

Which of the following is irrelevant to the decision to eliminate an unprofitable segment?

Common fixed costs Common fixed costs will be incurred even if a segment is eliminated, therefore they are irrelevant to the decision.

Manufacturing overhead was estimated to be $397,100 for the year along with 20,900 direct labor hours. Actual manufacturing overhead was $418,600, and actual labor hours were 23,000. To dispose of the balance in the Manufacturing Overhead account, which of the following would be correct?

Cost of Goods Sold would be credited for $18,400 Calculate the predetermined overhead rate by dividing total estimated manufacturing overhead by total estimated direct labor hours. ($397,100 / 20,900 = $19.00). Apply manufacturing overhead by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual number of direct labor hours. ($19.00 × 23,000 = $437,000). The amount of overhead applied ($437,000) on the credit side of the manufacturing overhead account exceeded the actual overhead costs ($418,600) on the debit side of the manufacturing overhead account, so the overhead was overapplied with a credit balance of $18,400. ($437,000 - $$418,600 = $18,400) The most common way of correcting this is with a direct charge, in this case a debit to the manufacturing overhead account to close it out and an offsetting credit to cost of goods sold.

Optimum Finance Inc. provides budget, savings, and investment services to clients who want a stress-free financial lifestyle. The company customizes a program for each client based on their individual goals that includes budget recommendations, investment counseling, and savings techniques. The company uses a job order cost system that keeps track of the cost of the amount of time financial consultants spend with each client. Optimum applies all indirect operating costs (e.g., rent, utilities, and management salaries) as a percentage of the consultant's labor cost. During the most recent year, the firm estimated that it would pay $500,000 to its consultants and incur indirect operating costs of $750,000. Actual consultant labor costs were $537,500 and actual indirect operating costs were $725,000. During the year, Optimum provided 64 hours of consulting services to Robert Howard for which Optimum pays an average of $18 per hour. What is the total cost of providing services to Robert? A. $2,707. B. $2,822. C. $1,924. D. $2,880.

D. $2,880. The predetermined overhead rate is $750,000/$500,000 = $1.50 per dollar of consultant labor cost. Consultant labor cost for providing services to Robert is $1,152 (64 x $18). Overhead is applied at $1.50 per dollar of consultant labor cost = $1,152 x $1.50 = $1,728. Total cost of providing services to Robert = $1,152 + $1,728 = $2,880.
