Pavel [41]

Answer:

a. $25.50

b. $9,725,000

c. Cash = 8,888.89 units

Accounting = 35,555.56 units

Explanation:

a. Variable cost per unit = material cost + labor cost = $18.50 + $7.00 = $25.50

b. Total cost = Fixed + Variable

Variable = $25.50 $\times$ 350,000 = $8,925,000

Fixed = $800,000

Total = $800,000 + $8,925,000 = $9,725,000.00

c. Cash break even point = (Fixed cost - Depreciation)/Contribution per unit

Fixed cost = $800,000

Depreciation = $600,000

Contribution per unit = $48 (Selling price) - $25.50 (Variable cost) = $22.5

Cash Break even point = ($800,000 - $600,000)/$22.5 = 8,888.89 units

Accounting Break Even Point = Total fixed cost/ Contribution per unit

=$800,000/$22.5 = 35,555.56 units

Final Answer

a. $25.50

b. $9,725,000

c. Cash = 8,888.89 units

Accounting = 35,555.56 units

Samson and Sons purchased a 6-month insurance policy for $1,200 which covers the months July through December. Initially the ent

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

To increase asset and expense, you debit while credit decreases it.

To increase, liabity, revenue(income), equity, you credit while debit decreases it.

An insurance that has been prepaid is an asset because the benefit has not been fully utilised.

Samson and Sons has paid for an insurance that will expire December at the beginning of July.

$1,200 for 6 months.

Samson and Sons needs to recognize this as the service is being enjoyed monthly.

Therefore, insurance expense every month will increase by $1,200/6

$200

Remember that expense increase by debit and asset(Prepaid Insurance) decrease by credit.

So we have:

Debit insurance expense $200; Credit prepaid insurance $200

Cost Flow Relationships

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(A) Cost of goods sold=$7,175,000

(B) Direct material cost= $3,655,000

Explanation:

(A) The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows

Cost of goods sold= Sales-gross profit

Sales= $12,375,000

Gross profit= $5,200,000

Cost of goods sold= $12,375,000-$5,200,000

= $7,175,000

(B) The direct materials cost can be calculated as follows

Direct cost of materials= materials purchased-indirect materials-materials inventory

Materials purchased= 4,125,000

Indirect materials= 180,000

Materials inventory= 290,000

Direct materials cost= 4,125,000-180,000-290,000

= $3,655,000

Direct labor costs= Total manufacturing cost for the specified period-direct materials-factory overhead

Total manufacturing costs= 7,880,000

Direct materials= 3,655,000

Factory overhead= indirect labor+indirect materials+other factory overhead

= 410,000+180,000+810,000

= 1,400,000

Direct labor costs= 7,880,000-3,655,000-1,400,000

= $2,825,000

Suppose our firm produces chartered business flights with capital (planes) and labor (pilots) in fixed proportion (i.e. one pilo

qaws [65]

Answer:

C. optimal capital labor ratio remains the same

Explanation:

One pilot for each plane implies A = B

Let cost be C

So, isocost line is xA + rB = C

So, xA + yA = C (as L = K)

So, (x+y)A = C

So, A = C/(x+y) =B

Optimal capital labor ratio = B/A = 1 as B =A

Now, wage rate increases to x'

So, isocost line is x'A + yB = C

So, x'A + yA = C (as A = B)

So, (x'+y)A = C

So, A = C/(x'+y) = B

New optimal capital labor ratio =B/A = 1 as B = A

Thus, optimal capital labor ratio remains same because capital (planes) and labor (pilots) are used in fixed proportion.

Thus the answer is

C. optimal capital labor ratio remains the same
