Question

Hammerhead Inc. uses practical capacity as the denominator to set the cost of supplying capacity and for the current period the budgeted cost per unit of supplying capacity was $42. Practical capacity was set at 10,000 units with theoretical capacity at 14,000 units. During the period, only 4,000 units were produced while the master budget assumed that the company would produce 9,000 units. What is the value of the manufacturing resources NOT used during the period

Answer 1

the value of the manufacturing resources not used is $252,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of the manufacturing resources not used is shown below

= (practical capacity - number of units produced) × budgeted cost per unit of supplying capacity

= (10,000 units - 4,000 units) × $42

= 6,000 units × $42

= $252,000

Hence, the value of the manufacturing resources not used is $252,000
