Cribb Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the estimated direct labor-hours were 17,900 hours and the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $341,890. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 16,700 hours and the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $336,890. Overhead at the end of the year was:

A. $22,920 underapplied B. $17,920 overapplied C. $17,920 underapplied D. $22,920 overapplied


POAR = $341,890 / 17,900 DLH = $19.1 per DLH

OH applied = 16,700 DLH x $19.1 = $318,970

Actual OH = $336,890

So, difference = $17,920, underapplied

Minist Company sells a single product at a selling price of $15.00 per unit. Last year, the company's sales revenue was $225,000 and its net operating income was $18,000. If fixed expenses totaled $72,000 for the year, the break-even point in unit sales was A. 15,000 B. 9,900 C. 14,100 D. 12,000


Breakeven point (BEP) = Fixed Cost Contribution Margin (CM)

Contribution Margin (CM) = Selling Price – Variable Cost

Contribution Margin (CM) = $15.00 – ?

Workings: Net Operating Income = Sales Revenue – Variable Cost – Fixed Cost

$18,000 = $225,000 – Variable Cost – $72,000

So, Variable Cost = $225,000 - $72,000 - $18,000 = $135,000

Variable Cost per unit = $135,000 / 15,000 units = $9



Contribution Margin (CM) = Selling Price – Variable Cost

Contribution Margin (CM) = $15.00 – $9 = RM6

Breakeven point (BEP) = $72,000 $6

Breakeven point (BEP) = 12,000 units

Darwin, Inc., sells a particular textbook for $20. Variable expenses are $14 per book. At the current volume of 50,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total: A. $300,000 B. $1,000,000 C. $1,300,000D. $700,000



50,000 = Fixed Cost $20 - $14

Fixed Cost = 50,000 x ($20 - $14)

Fixed Cost = $300,000

Frank Company manufacturers a single product that has a selling price of $20.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $45,000 per year, and the company must sell 5,000 units to break even. If the company has a target profit of $13,500, sales in units must be: A. 6,000 B. 5,750 C. 6,500 D. 7,925



5000 = $45,000 $20 – Variable Cost

($20 - Variable Cost) x 5000 = $45,000

Variable Cost = $11.00


Units to sell = Fixed Cost + Targeted Profit Contribution Margin (CM)

= $45,000 + $13,500 $20 – $11

= 6,500 units

Spencer Company expects to sell 60,000 units next year. Variable production costs are $4 per unit, and variable selling costs are 10% of the selling price. Fixed expenses are $115,000 per year, and the company has set a target profit of $50,000. Based on this information, the unit selling price should be: A. $7.00B. $10.75 C. $7.50 D. $6.75



60,000 = $115,000 + $50,000 SP – ($4 + 0.1SP)

60,000 [SP – ($4 + 0.1SP)) = 165,000

60,000 (0.9SP - $4) = 165,000 54,000SP – 240,000 = 165,000
