Lakeside Inc. produces a product that currently sells for $57.60 per unit. Current production costs per unit include direct mate

rials, $22; direct labor, $24; variable overhead, $11.00; and fixed overhead, $11.00. Product engineering has determined that certain production changes could refine the product quality and functionality. These new production changes would increase material and labor costs by 20% per unit. If Lakeside could sell the refined version of its product for $40 per unit, should it be processed further?

Answer:

It is convenient to make the changes.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $57.60 per unit.

Direct materials= $22

Direct labor= $24

Variable overhead= $11.00

Fixed overhead= $11.00.

New costs:

Direct material cost= 22*1.2= $26.4

Direct labor cost= 24*1.2= $28.8

<u>I suppose that the selling price will increase by $40.</u>

To determine whether the changes increase profit or not, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin per unit for both options:

Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Actual Contribution margin:

Contribution margin= 57.6 - (22 - 24 - 11)= 0.6

New contribution margin:

Contribution margin= 97.60 - (26.4 - 28.8 - 11)= $31.4

A cube has a side length (s) of 5 centimeters. The expression 6s2 gives the surface area of the cube and the expression s3 gives
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The volume and surface area of the cube is 125 cm³ and 150 cm² respectively.

Explanation:

The expression for the surface area of the cube :

A = 6s²

s is the side of the cube

The expression for the volume of the cube is :

V = s³

We need to find the volume and surface area of the cube.

For surface area : S = 6(5)² = 150 cm²

For volume : V = (5)³ = 125 cm³

Hence, the volume and surface area of the cube is 125 cm³ and 150 cm² respectively.
