Michael's Machine Shop reports the following information for the quarter.
Sales price $70
Fixed costs (for the quarter)
Selling and administrative 47,620
Production 142,860
Variable cost (per unit)
Materials 18
Labor 15
Plant supervision 8
Selling and administrative 9
Number of units (for the quarter) 23,810 units
Required:
Select the answer for each of the following costs.
a) Variable cost per unit.
b) fixed cost amount
c) breakeven point
d) expected sales
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the variable cost per unit:
Variable cost per unit= Materials + Labor + Plant supervision + Selling and administrative
Variable cost per unit= 18 + 15 + 8 + 9
Variable cost per unit= $50
Now, the fixed cost:
Fixed costs= Selling and administrative + Production
Fixed costs= 47,620 + 142,860
Fixed costs= $190,480
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 190,480 / (70 -50)
Break-even point in units= 9,524
Finally, the expected sales:
expected sales= 23,810*70
expected sales= $1,666,700
Fixed manufacturing costs are $51 per unit, and variable manufacturing costs are $153 per unit. Production was 81,000 units, while sales were 76,140 units. a. Determine whether variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing operating income. b. Determine the difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.
Answer:
Part a.
Yes, variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing.
Part b.
$247,860
Explanation:
The difference between variable costing operating income and absorption costing operating income lies in the fixed costs deferred in inventory.
The profit in both method is the same if and only if there is no inventory. That means units produced equal units sold (Production = Sales)
The absorption costing method includes fixed manufacturing cost in determining product costs whereas the variable costing method only accounts for variable manufacturing cost.
When the units produced are greater than units Sold (Production > Sales) , Fixed Costs in Inventory increases this means absorption profits will be greater than Variable costing profit as Fixed costs in inventory value reduces cost of sales in absorption costing.
Difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.
Difference = (81,000 - 76,140) x $51
= $247,860
You are the manager of a pizzeria that produces at a marginal cost of $6 per pizza. The pizzeria is a local monopoly near campus (there are no other restaurants or food stores within 500 miles). During the day, only students eat at your restaurant. In the evening, while students are studying, 3 faculty members eat there. If students have an elasticity of demand for pizzas of -4 and the faculty has an elasticity of demand of -2, what should your pricing policy be to maximize profits?
Answer:
since the price elasticity of demand for students is -4, the the price charged to them should be:
price = [-4 / (-4 + 1)] x $6 = (-4 / -3) x $6 = $8
since the price elasticity of demand for faculty is -2, the the price charged to them should be:
price = [-2 / (-2 + 1)] x $6 = (-2 / -1) x $6 = $12
Sheffield Corp. sells its product for $70 per unit. During 2019, it produced 60000 units and sold 50000 units (there was no beginning inventory). Costs per unit are: direct materials $15, direct labor $12, and variable overhead $1. Fixed costs are: $720000 manufacturing overhead, and $90000 selling and administrative expenses. The per unit manufacturing cost under absorption costing is
Answer:
$40
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The per unit manufacturing cost under absorption costing is
The per unit manufacturing cost under absorption costing= $15 + $12 + $1 + ($720,000 / 60,000)
The per unit manufacturing cost under absorption costing= $15 + $12 + $1 +$12
The per unit manufacturing cost under absorption costing= $40
Therefore The per unit manufacturing cost under absorption costing is $40
Saginaw Inc. completed its first year of operations with a pretax loss of $692,500. The tax return showed a net operating loss of $884,500, which the company will carry forward.

Bauer Manufacturing uses departmental cost driver rates to allocate manufacturing overhead costs to proudcts. Mnaufacturing overhead costs are allocated on the the bases of Macine hours in the Machining Department on the bases of direct labor hours. In the Assembly Department. At the beginning of 2018, the following estimates were provided for the coming year:
Machining Assembly
Direct labor - hours 40,000 40,000
Machine - hours 50,000 20,000
Direct labor costs $500,000 $900,000
Manufacturing overhead costs $280,000 $360,000
The accounting records of the company show the following data for Job #316
Machine Assembly
Direct labor - hours 120 65
Machine - hours 50 5
Direct material cost $425 $175
Direct labor cost $275 $300
WHat are the total manufacturing costs for Job #316
Which of the following are correct? (Please show ALL calculations)
A. $2,040
B. $1,960
C. $1,175
D. $1,440
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost = direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost
Where
Direct material cost = Machining direct material cost + assembly direct material cost
= $425 + $175
= $600
The direct labor cost = Machining direct labor cost + Assembly direct labor cost
= $275 + $300
= $575
The machining overhead cost = Manufacturing overhead costs / Machine hours
= $280,000 / 50,000
= $5.6
So, cost = $5.6 × 50 = $280
Assembly overhead cost = Manufacturing overhead costs / direct labor hours
= $360,000 / 20,000
= $18
So, the cost = $18 × 65 = $1,170
= $600 + $575 + $280 + $1,170
= $2,625

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $7 per bottle. After the tax, 29 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $1 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on producers.
Answer:
1. The amount of tax on a bottle of wine is $4.
2. The tax burden on consumers is $1.
3. The tax burden on producers is $3.
4. The effect on the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on producers.
False.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Before the tax, the number of bottles of wine sold every year at $7 per bottle = 35 billion bottles
After the tax, the number of bottles of wine sold every year at $8 per bottle = 29 billion bottles
Therefore, there is a reduction of 6 billion bottles as a result of the increased price of $1 per bottle (from $7 to $8).
The price received by producers = $4 per bottle
Therefore, there is a total tax of $4 ($8 - $4)
Consumers bear $1 ($8 - $7)
Producers bear $3 ($7 - $4)
The effect of the tax would have still increased the price to $8 or more. Thus, if the tax had been levied on producers, the quantity of bottles sold would have reduced drastically.
Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses $1,000,000 in savings to purchase land, he rents equipment for $90 comma 000 a year, and he pays workers $110 comma 000 in wages. In return, he produces 300 comma 000 baskets of peaches per year, which sell for $3.00 each. Suppose the interest rate on savings is 1 percent and that the farmer could otherwise have earned $45 comma 000 as a shoe salesman. What is the farmer's economic profit? The peach farmer earns economic profit of $nothing . (Enter your response as an integer.)
Answer:
Economic profit =$645,000
Explanation:
Economic profit is the difference between revenue and out of pocket expenses plus opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the value of the benefit sacrificed in favour of a decision. It is the value of the next best alternative forgone in favour of a decision.
For example, the opportunity cost of the farmer is the interest rate he would have earned had he invested the money in savings account plus the salary forgone as a salesman
Economic profit = Revenue - out-of-pocket expenses - opportunity cost
Opportunity cost = interest foregone + salary forgone
= (1% × $1,000,000) + 45,000 = 55,000
Out of pocked trading expenses = 110,000 + 90,000 = $200,000
Revenue = $3 × 300,000 = $900,000
Economic profit = 900,000 -200,000-55,000= $645,000
Economic profit =$645,000

Gibson Corp. owned a 90% interest in Sparis Co. Sparis frequently made sales of inventory to Gibson. The sales, which include a markup over cost of 25%, were $420,000 in 2017 and $500,000 in 2018. At the end of each year, Gibson still owned 30% of the goods. Net income for Sparis was $912,000 during 2018. Assuming there are no excess amortizations associated with the consolidation, and no other intra-entity asset transfers, what was the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2018
Answer:
$907,200
Explanation:
Calculation for the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2018
First step is to calculate the Gross profit rate
Using this formula
Gross profit rate = gross profit + COGS = GPR/ (1-GPR)
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit rate= 25%/(1+25%) = 0.2
intra-entity gross profit = Transfer price x GPR (0.2)
Gross Profit 2017= $84,000 x 30%
Gross Profit 2017= $25,200;
Gross Profit 2018= 100,000 x 30%
Gross Profit 2017= $30,000
Now let calculate 2018 net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest Using this formula
2018 net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest =Subsidiary’s net income + Intra-entity Gross Profit in Ending Inventory for 2017 – Intra-entity grossprofit in 2018 inventory deferred x noncontrolling interest
2018 net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest = ($912,000) + ($25,200) – ($30,000) *10%
= $907,200
Therefore the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest for 2018 is $907,200

Answer:
$389,100
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the correct balance for ending inventory on December 31 is:
Using this formula
Ending inventory on December 31=Ending inventory balance-Office supplies
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory on December 31=$414,500- $25,400
Ending inventory on December 31=$389,100
Therefore the correct balance for ending inventory on December 31 is:$389,100
Delisa Corporation has two divisions: Division L and Division Q. Data from the most recent month appear below: Total Company Division L Division Q Sales $490,000 $125,000 $365,000 Variable expenses 288,800 62,500 226,300 Contribution margin 201,200 62,500 138,700 Traceable fixed expenses 111,650 34,790 76,860 Segment margin 89,550 $ 27,710 $ 61,840 Common fixed expenses 36,910 Net operating income $ 52,640 The break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to:
Answer:
Break-even point (dollars)= $202,263.16
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Division Q:
Sales= $365,000
Total variable costs= 226,300
Fixed costs= 76,860
To calculate the break-even point for Division Q, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 76,860 / [(365,000 - 226,300) / 365,000]
Break-even point (dollars)= 76,860 / 0.38
Break-even point (dollars)= $202,263.16
Suppose recent regulatory reforms relating to credit rating agencies are perceived to improve the reliability and accuracy of credit ratings of corporate bonds. Imagine further that you manage a corporation interested in issuing new bonds, in addition to past issues by the firm that already trade in the market. Identify one way in which your firm might lose and one way in which it might gain from these regulatory reforms. Explain.
Answer:
If the new reforms bring increase confidence of the investors then the company will have to incur lower borrowing costs as the investor will be available and vice versa.
Explanation:
Suppose that previously our company's credit rating was overrated. Due to recent regulatory reforms, my company achieved a lower credit rating and hence the investor confidence in our company dropped significantly. Now the investor is not interested to invest in my company and to urge them to invest in the company, they will be offered higher interest. If the reforms are going to impact our credit rating adversely then the borrowing cost will increase and vice versa.
Furthermore, Core Principle 3 says that the decsion making of the investor is based on the information that is readily available to him. This means if the reforms increase the access of the borrower through improved credit rating then it will be favourable for the company in terms of lower borrowing costs. If the reforms decrease the access of the borrower through depreciating credit rating then it will adversely affect the company in terms of lower borrowing costs and lower investment access.

A multinational engineering consulting firm that wants to provide resort accommodations to special clients is considering the purchase of a three-bedroom lodge in upper Montana that will cost $220,000. The property in that area is rapidly appreciating in value because people anxious to get away from urban developments are bidding up the prices. If the company spends an average of $400 per month for utilities and the investment increases at a rate of 0.75% per month, how long would it be before the company could sell the property for $100,000 more than it has invested in it
Answer:
59.5 months
Explanation:
initial investment x (1 + appreciation rate)ⁿ = initial investment + $100,000 + ($400 x n)
$220,000 x (1 + 0.75%)ⁿ = $320,000 + $400n
1.0075ⁿ = $320,000/$220,000 + $400n/$220,000

When an import tariff is imposed on an intermediate good, producers of this immediate good in the nation will ____________ while the producers that use the intermediate good as an input will ________. Get better off, get better off Get better off, get worse off Get worse off, get better off Get worse off, get worse off
Answer:
get better off
get worse off
Explanation:
Import are goods or services produced in other countries that are brought into a country.
Import tariff is a form of tax imposed on imported goods. import tariff increases the price of import. the purpose of import is to discourage import
Intermediate good are goods used in the production of finished. An example of an intermediate good is raw materials
When an import tariff is imposed on an intermediate good, producers that use the intermediate goods would be worse off because the price of intermediate goods needed for production would increase as a result of the tariff. This would increase their cost of production and reduce their profit margins
While the producers of the intermediate good in the country would be better off because they would face less foreign competition. Also, they would benefit from the increased price of the intermediate good. This would increase their profit margins.

The bulldozer was purchased on January 1, 2020 and was used 500 hours in 2020 and 3,000 hours in 2021. What method of depreciation will produce the maximum depreciation expense in 2021
Answer:
48,000
56,000
the unit of production method
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($300,000 - $20,000) / 10 = $28,000
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)
Depreciation in 2021 = 2/10 x $300,000 = $60,000
Book value in 2022 = $240,000
Depreciation in 2022 = 48,000
Unit of production = number of hours in 2022 / total number of hours) x (cost of asset -- savlage value)
