Wave Wake Marine Company has total estimated factory overhead for the year of $1,200,000, divided into four activities

Wave Wake Marine Company has total estimated factory overhead for the year of $1,200,000, divided into four activities: fabrication, $450,000; assembly, $210,000; setup, $240,000; and inspection, $300,000. Wave Wake manufactures two types of boats: a speedboat and a bass boat. The activity-base usage quantities for each product by each activity are as follows:

Fabrication Assembly      Setup      Inspection
Speedboat   800 dlh 1,200 dlh  60 setups 600 inspections
Bass boat 1,200   800 100 200
2,000 dlh 2,000 dlh 160 setups 800 inspections



Each product is budgeted for 200 units of production for the year. Determine (a) the activity rates for each activity and (b) the factory overhead cost per unit for each product, using activity-based costing.

Answer:

a. Fabrication: $450,000 ÷ 2,000 direct labor hours = $225 per dlh 
Assembly: $210,000 ÷ 2,000 direct labor hours = $105 per dlh 
Setup: $240,000 ÷ 160 setups = $1,500 per setup 
Inspection: $300,000 ÷ 800 inspections = $375 per inspection

Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of $148,500 over five years

Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of $148,500 over five years, has a cost of $300,000, and has a $30,000 residual value.

Answer:
Estimate average annual income $29,700 
($148,500 ÷ 5 years) 

Average investment $165,000 
[($300,000 + $30,000) ÷ 2] 

Average rate of return 18% 
($29,700 ÷ $165,000) 

Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of $36,000 over three years, has a cost of $70,000

Determine the average rate of return for a project that is estimated to yield total income of $36,000 over three years, has a cost of $70,000, and has a $10,000 residual value.

Answer:
Estimate average annual income $12,000
($36,000 ÷ 3 years)

Average investment $40,000
[($70,000 + $10,000) ÷ 2]

Average rate of return 30%
($12,000 ÷ $40,000)
