Answer:

Profit will increase by 5,975

Explanation:

From past year we can see that total variable cost will be:

Direct Material+Direct Labor+Variable Over head.

Total Variable Cost =100,000+20% of 20,000

Total Variable costs = 100,000+4000= 104,000

Per Unit Variable cost = Total Variable cost/Total Unit Produced

Per Unit Variable Cost = 104,000/16,000 = 6.5

If Benjamin accepts the offer results will be:

Sale (4,500*8.05) 36,225

Variable Cost (4,500*6.5) (29,250)

Incremental Fixed cost (650)

Incremental admin

and selling cost (350)

Direct Labour. 100,000

---------

Prime Cost 264,000

Overhead

Variable overhead 20,000

Selling &Administrative(fixed) 32,500

----------

Total Cost. 316,500

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

Operating income. (152,500)

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

Allocation of overhead cost on the basis of direct labour

$

Direct Labour. 100,000

Variable overhead( 0.2 × 20,000) 4,000

-----------

Total overhead. 104,000

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

Direct Labour = Total overhead / Total production

= 104,000/16,000

= 6.5

These variable cost is a relevant cost, we can now compare the estimated relevant cost with the relevant revenue if the order is accepted

$

Additional Revenue (4,500 × 8.05) 36,225

Less: unit purchased (4,500 × 6.5) 29,250

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

Excess of revenue over cost. 6,975

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

Therefore the profit will be increased by $6,975

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4
posledela

Answer:

D. Should Shut Down

Explanation:

A perfect competition firm is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue [Price] = Marginal Cost .

If MR > MC : Firm's additional production is profitable, it tends to increase production. If MR < MC : Firm's additional production is loss making, it tends to decrease production.

However, If firm's Price i.e MR < Average Variable Cost : The firm's per unit price is even unable to cover it's per unit average variable cost. This situation is referred to as 'Shut Down' point & firm should close down its production in the case.

Given : MR = P = 3 ; MC = 4 ; AVC = 3.5 . The firm's price P (3) is not only lesser by its Marginal Cost MC (4), to decrease production ; but also lesser than its Average Variable Cost AVC (3.5) . So, the firm should shut down.

= $45,000 + ($23,000 - $22,000) + ($28,000 - $26,000)

= $45,000 + $1,000 + $2,000
