Barlow Company manufactures three products—A, B, and C. The selling price, variable costs, and contribution margin for one unit

of each product follow:
Product


A B C

Selling price $ 150 $ 240 $ 200

Variable expenses:

Direct materials 12 48 18

Other variable expenses 108 120 140

Total variable expenses 120 168 158

Contribution margin $ 30 $ 72 $ 42

Contribution margin ratio 20 % 30 % 21 %



The same raw material is used in all three products. Barlow Company has only 5,400 pounds of raw material on hand and will not be able to obtain any more of it for several weeks due to a strike in its supplier’s plant. Management is trying to decide which product(s) to concentrate on next week in filling its backlog of orders. The material costs $6 per pound.




Required:


1. Calculate the contribution margin per pound of the constraining resource for each product.


2. Assuming that Barlow has unlimited demand for each of its three products, what is the maximum contribution margin the company can earn when using the 5,400 pounds of raw material on hand?


3. Assuming that Barlow’s estimated customer demand is 600 units per product line, what is the maximum contribution margin the company can earn when using the 5,400 pounds of raw material on hand?


4. A foreign supplier could furnish Barlow with additional stocks of the raw material at a substantial premium over the usual price. Assuming Barlow’s estimated customer demand is 600 units per product line and that the company has used its 5,400 pounds of raw material in an optimal fashion, what is the highest price Barlow Company should be willing to pay for an additional pound of materials?

1. The contribution margin per pound of the constraining resource for each product is:

Product                                            A          B           C

Contribution margin per pound $15       $9         $14

2. Assuming that Barlow has unlimited demand for each of its three products, the maximum contribution margin it can earn using the 5,400 pounds is $81,000.

3. Assuming that Barlow’s estimated customer demand is 600 units per product line, the maximum contribution margin the company can earn when using the 5,400 pounds is $64,800.

4. The highest price Barlow Company should be willing to pay for an additional pound of materials is $15 ($6 + $9).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Available raw materials = 5,400 pounds

Contribution margin per pound $15       $9         $14 ($42/3)

Maximum contribution = $81,000 ($15 x 5,400)

<h3>Total contribution based on maximum demand of 600 units of each product:</h3>

Product                                          A             B           C

Maximum demand                     600         600       600

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Find the detailed answer below

Explanation:

January 1     300 units at $5      $1,500

January 8     500 units at $9       $4,500

January 29 910 units at $10       $9,100

1,110 units are available at the end of the month. That means 600 units were sold

A. Under FIFO

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

        $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.   Cost of goods sold

         300 units at $5      $1,500

         300 units at $9      $2,700

          Total             $4,200

3. Ending inventory

           200 units at $9       $1,800

           910 units at $10      $9,100

           Total              $10,900

B. Under LIFO(Last in First Out)

1.  Cost of goods available for sale:

        $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.  Cost of goods sold

        600 units at $10      $6,000

        Total       $6,000

3. Ending inventory

       310 units at $10      $3,100

      500 units at $9        $4,500

      300 units at $5        $1,500

      Total        $9,100

C. Weighted average cost flow assumption: Cost of goods available for sale / total units

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

     $1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2. Cost of goods sold

      $15,100 / 1,710 = $8.83

      $8.83 x 600 = $5,298

3. Ending inventory

       $8.83 x 1,110 = $9,801.3

Under perpetual Inventory System

Between January 9 and January 28. The prevailing price that will be used to sell the inventory will be the price at January 8($9)

1. Cost of goods available for sale:

$1,500 + $4,500 + $9,100 = $15,100

2.  Cost of goods sold

        600 units at $9     $5,400

        Total           $5,400

3. Ending inventory

       1,110 units at $9      $9,990

      Total            $9,990

The income effect, the substitution effect, and diminishing marginal utility together explain:______.
lorasvet [3.4K]

The income effect, the substitution effect, and diminishing marginal utility together explain the Downsloping Demand Curve.

The Downsloping Demand Curve is explained by each of them. Because marginal utility decreases as more of a thing are consumed, a consumer's demand curve for that product slopes downward.

Income Effect: The change in demand for a good or service brought on by a shift in a consumer's purchasing power as a result of a change in real income is known as the income effect.

Substitution Effect: The substitution impact is the decline in sales of a product brought on by customers switching to less expensive substitutes when the price of the product increases.

Diminishing Marginal Utility: The phenomenon known as diminishing marginal utility describes how each extra unit of gain results in an ever-smaller rise in subjective value.

The income effect, the substitution effect, and diminishing marginal utility together explain the Downsloping Demand Curve.

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $730,920

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Materials $167,500 $149,080

Work in process 112,230 99,880

Direct labor $301,500

Materials purchased during March 321,600

Factory overhead incurred during March:

Indirect labor 32,160

Machinery depreciation 19,430

Heat, light, and power 6,700

Supplies 5,360

Property taxes 4,690

Miscellaneous costs 8,710

Total overhead= $77,050

<u>To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 112,230 + (167,500 + 321,600 - 149,080) + 301,500 + 77,050 - 99,880

cost of goods manufactured= $730,920
