1. Using direct labor hours as the basis for assigning overhead costs, determine the total production cost per unit for each product line.
2. If the market price for Product A is $20 and the market price for Product B is $60, determine the profit or loss per unit for each product. Comment on the results.
3. Consider the following additional information about these two product lines. If ABC is used for assigning overhead costs to products, what is the cost per unit for Product A and for Product B?
Number of setups required for production 10 setups 12 setups
Number of parts required I part/unit 3 parts/unit
Inspection hours 40 hours 210 hours
4. Determine the profit or loss per unit for each product. Should this information influence company strategy? Explain.

Find the total production cost per unit
: Determine the profit or loss per unit for each product. Should this information influence company strategy? Explain -
|
|
Compute the molar mass of the compound
: State the addition of 5.00 g of a compound to 250 g of naphthalene lowered the freezing point of the solvent by 0.780 K. Compute the molar mass of the compound.

|
Depict the structure of the trisaccharide
: Exhaustive methylation of a trisaccharide followed as a result of acid hydrolysis yields equimolar quantities of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-mannose, also 2,4,6-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose.
|
|
Compute the overhead cost per unit for each product line
: Determine the total cost per unit for each product line if the direct labor and direct materials costs per unit are $250 for Model 145 and $180 for Model 212.
