Answer:

It is more profitable to sell the units for scrap.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Defective units= 16,000 units

Selling price dor scrap= $2.60

Reworked cost= $4.80 each

Selling price= $8.10 each.

If the units are sold as-is, the company will be able to build 16,000 replacement units for $5.50 each and sell them at the full price of $8.10 each.

The cost of 16,000 units produced is a sunk cost, therefore, it shouldn't be a part of the decision making.

Sell as it is:

Sell scrap= 16,000*2.9= 46,400

New units= 16,000*(8.10 - 5.50)= 41,600

Total income= $88,000

Continue processing:

Reworked sales= 16,000*(8.1 - 4.8)= $52,800

It is more profitable to sell the units for scrap.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

a) CMR=  0.6

b)CVP=0.6-$1,000

c) Profit= $5000

d) Sales $10,000

e) Break-even=$3000

f) Profit increases =$600

Explanation:

a) contribution margin ratio formula is

(Total revenue -variable cost )/Total revenue

=($5,000-$2,000)/$5,000= 0.6

b) CVP relation: profit as a function of sales revenue

Version 2:

Profit = CMR × Revenue – FC

where

CMR = contribution margin ratio (contribution per $ of sales)

Revenue = sales revenue in $

FC = fixed costs

That means

Profit = 0.6*Revenue-$1,000

c)profit = 0.6*$10,000-$1,000

profit = $6000-$1,000

profit =$5000

d)

profit = 0.6*Revenue-$1,000

Revenue =(profit +$1,000)/0.6

Revenue = ($5,000 +$1,000)/0.6= 10000

e)Break even is when sales are equal to the cost.  

sales revenue=variable costs+fixed costs

sales revenue=$2,000+$1,000

Break-even=$3000

f)profit increases

profit increases =0.6*Revenue-$1,000

profit increases =0.6*$1,000=$600

babunello [35]

Answer:

Her real income has decrease by  $7,333.33

Explanation:

<em>Real income is the amount of goods and services that a give amount of quantity money can purchase. It is also known as the purchasing power of money.  </em>

To determine if there has been a change in her real income, we will compare her real income 20 years ago to her real income 5 years later. This will be done as follows;

Step 1

Determine her real income 5 years after her last reunion

Real income in current year = (CPI in base year/CPI in current year ) × Nominal income

                     = (80/150)× 80,000

                    =   $42,666.67

Step 2

Determine change in real income

Her real income has decrease by  $7,333.33. This is difference between her real income 5 years ago and now. That is $50,000 -  $42,666.67.

Tis implies she cannot purchase as much as she could 5 years ago because of inflation.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The correct option is C,$795,000

Explanation:

The consolidated inventory of Allister and Barone at year end 31st December is the sum of their individual inventories minus the allowance for unrealized profit on intra-group sales of $180,000

Allowance for unrealized =amount of unsold inventory/total sales*profit on sale

amount of unsold =10%*$180,000=$18,000

total profit on the sale=sales price-cost=$180,000-$130,000=$50,000

allowance for unrealized profit=$18,000/180,000*50,000=$5,000

Consolidated inventory=$500,000+$300,000-$5,000=$795,000
