Warner Corporation purchased a machine 7 years ago for $405,000 when it launched product P50. Unfortunately, this machine has br

oken down and cannot be repaired. The machine could be replaced by a new model 300 machine costing $396,350 or by a new model 200 machine costing $349,800. Management has decided to buy the model 200 machine. It has less capacity than the model 300 machine, but its capacity is sufficient to continue making product P50. Management also considered, but rejected, the alternative of dropping product P50 and not replacing the old machine. If that were done, the $349,800 invested in the new machine could instead have been invested in a project that would have returned a total of $450,600.
Required:
1. What is the total differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine?
2. What is the total sunk cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200 machine rather than the model 300 machine?
3. What is the total opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine?
1. Differential cost
2. Sunk cost
3. Opportunity cost

Answer:

1. $46,550

2. $405,000

3. $450,600

Explanation:

1. Computation of differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200

Differential cost = Cost of a new model 300 - Cost of a new model 200

Differential cost = $396,350 - $349,800

Differential cost = $46,550

So, the differential cost regarding decision to buy model 200 is $46,550.

2. Sunk costs are the costs which are already incurred by the entity in the past and which are not relevant to decision made today. In this case, sunk cost is the cost of the machine purchased seven years ago for $405,000.

3. Opportunity cost is the profit forgone by chosen alternative course of action. In this case, the Opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine is $450,600.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

$62,100

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales price per unit = $ 40

Variable costs per​ unit:

Manufacturing = $ 23

Marketing and administrative = $ 8

Total fixed​ costs:

Manufacturing = $ 76,000  

Marketing and administrative = $24,000

Total incremental costs:

= Variable manufacturing + Variable marketing and administrative

= (6,900 × $23) + (6,900 × $8)

= $158,700 + $55,200

= $213,900

Incremental income:

= Incremental revenue - Total incremental costs

= (6,900 × $40) - $213,900

= $276,000 - $213,900

= $62,100

Therefore, the operating income increases by $62,100.

On January 1, 2010, the balance in Tabor Co.'s Allowance for Bad Debts account was $13,085. During the first 11 months of the ye
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?

bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103

(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $

to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:

Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469

Answer:

Adriana Corporation

Using the High and Low method the Variable and Fixed portions of the Total Cost is:

Fixed Costs = $247,420

Variable Costs = $39.50 Per unit x 8,020 Machine Hours = $316,790

B. at an average of 7,500hrs Machine hours, the estimated Overhead costs = $247,420 x (39.50 x 7,500)

= $543,670

Explanation:

The High and Low Method is a costing method which attempts to split the mix of Fixed and Variable costs in a mixed Total cost of production by looking at one element of variability (in this case Machine Hours)

It is a subjective approach, however simple to calculate. Other method is the regression analysis, which is more complex in comparison to the high and Low

The attached excel file shows how we derived the Variable and Fixed Costs element of the Overhead Costs
