Answer:

Product A, then Product C and finally Product B

Explanation:

The unit profit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit - Fixed cost per unit

Unit Profit of product A = $21 - $11 - $5 = $5

Unit Profit of product B = $12 - $7 - $3 = $2

Unit Profit of product C = $32 - $18 - $9 = $5

The profit of each product in 1 machine hour = 1 hour/ Machine hours per unit * Unit Profit

Profit of Product A in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.2 * $5 = $25

Profit of Product B in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.5*$2 = $4

Profit of Product C in 1 hour using machine = 1/0.2* $5 = $25

Product A & Product C have same profit in 1 hour machine, then we have to consider Direct labor hours per unit which product A is 0.4 while product C is 0.7. It means Product C is more costly in direct labour than Product A.

In short, then the ranking of the products from the most profitable to the least profitable use of the constrained resource is Product A, then Product C and finally Product B

Answer: The ranking of the product in terms the most profit to the least profit is A C B

Explanation:

A. B. C

$ $ $

Selling price per unit. 21 12 32

Less: Variable cost. 11 7 18

---------- ----------- ----------

Contribution margin. 10 5 14

Less: Fixed cost per unit. 5 3 9

-------- ---------- -----------

Profit. 5 2 5

--------- ------- --------

Since the machine hour is the constraint, we divide the profit by the machine hour per unit

Product A = 5÷0.2 = 25

Product B= 3 ÷ 0.5 = 4

Product C = 5 ÷ 0.2 = 25

Therefore the ranking in terms of most profitable to the least profitable is ACB

Suppose Nicholas owns a business making Christmas tree ornaments. Currently, he makes 300 ornaments a month. At this level of pr

Fudgin [204]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1. MC = Cost of raw material + Cost of time

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2. TFC = $300

Q = 300 , AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3. His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 , MC = $10

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

4. His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 , MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

Polk Company manufactures basketballs. Materials are added at the beginning of the production process and conversion costs are i

wariber [46]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Calculation of the equivalent units

<u>Particulars Physical units % Material % Conversion cost</u>

Units transferred

out 900 100% 900 100% 900

Ending

work in process 600 100% 600 40% 240

Equivalent

units 1,500 1,140

2. Cost per equivalent unit is

Particulars Material Conversion cost

Beginning

inventory $750 $600

Cost during

period $2,400 $2,820

Total cost $3,150 $3,420

Divided by

Equivalent

units $1,500 $1,140

Cost per

equivalent unit $2.1 $3

3. Transferred out cost is

= (3 + 2.1) × 900

= $4,590

And, the ending work in process cost is

= (600 ×$2.1) + (240 × $3)

= $1,960

2. Now the preparation of the production report is presented below:

Beginning work in process $1,350

Cost during period $5,220

Total cost accounted for $6,570

Transferred out cost $4,590

Ending work in process $1,960

Total cost accounted as $6,570
