Due Date: Session 5.2 The accountant atABC Company has prepared the following manufacturing data relating to
201? for use in cost analysis by management accounting recruits. The company produces
canned food that requires 45 machine hours and 3 directlahour hours per unitto
produce. Total budgeted production output for 2017 is 50,000 units a City West water monthly bill, computed as follows First 7,000 litres or less $1,000 flat Fee Next 500 litres $0.004 per litre used
Next 500 litres $0.008 per litre used
Next 500 litres $0.012 per litre used. etc. Assume each product requires a standard quantity of 1.8 litres ofwater. h. lease on machinery in use. where a minimum monthly charge of$1,500 is paid for up
to 10,000 hours ofrnachine time. After the first 18,000 machine hours an additional charge
of $3.50 per machine hour is paid up to a maximum total lease charge of $4.000 per month. r. Rental expense on factory bulldlng donated by the city, where the agreement calls for a
