Alaskan Pattern Company makes dressmakers' patterns using a
machine that stamps the pattern outline onto tissue paper. The
stamping center produced 40,000 patterns in August, with a machine
time per pattern of 20 seconds. Annual budgeted cell conversion
costs were as follows:
Maintenance and supplies | $1,650,000 |
Depreciation | 700,000 |
Supporting labor | 825,000 |
Total | $3,175,000 |
Alaskan planned 2,500 total machine hours for the year.
Calculate Alaskan's budgeted cell conversion cost rate for the
year.
$ per machine hour
answer
total conversion costs= $3,175,000
available machine hours=2500
conversion costs rate per machine hour= total conversion cost/ available machine hours
=$3175000/2500
=$1270 per machine hour
