and fixed costs are $1,700 per month. Management is considering adding a vitamin supplement to improve the value of the product. The variable cost will increase from $1.50 to $1.90 per unit, and fixed costs will increase by 20%. The company will price the new product at $5 per pack. How will this affect operating income?

Answer:

It is more profitable to add the vitamin and sell the product for $5. Income will increase by $260

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The number of units= 1,000 packages

Actual:

Selling price= $4.00 per pack.

Variable cost is $1.50 per unit

Fixed costs are $1,700 per month.

New option:

Selling price= $5

Variable cost= $1.9

Fixed costs= $2,040

We need to calculate the net income of both options, and choose the more profitable one:

Actual:

Net income= 1,000*(4-1.5) - 1,700= $800

New:

Net income= 1,000*(5 - 1.9)- 2,040= $1,060

It is more profitable to add the vitamin and sell the product for $5.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

a.Titanium = $2,890,500

Platinum = $5,185,000

b. Platinum is more profitable

Explanation:

The computation of given question is shown below:

For Titanium

Total gross margin = 5,000 × $1,590

= $7,950,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 5,000 ÷ 200) + (1% × $7,950,000)

= $1,700,000 + $79,500

= $1,779,500

b.

Promotion cost = $2,850,000 × 80%

= $2,280,000

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Promotion cost

= $7,950,000 - $1,779,500 - $2,280,000

= $2,890,500

For Platinum

Total Gross margin = 20,000 × $ 325

= $6,500,000

Salaries and bonus of Customer representative = ($68,000 × 20,000 ÷ 2,000) + (1% × $6,500,000 )

= $680,000 + $65,000

= $745,000

Cost of promotion = $2,850,000 × 20%

= $570,000

Since, 80% is allocated for promotion expenses of titanium so we assume 20% for Platinum

Excess of gross margin over customer costs = Total Gross margin - Salaries and bonus of Customer representative - Cost of promotion

= $6,500,000  - $745,000 - $570,000

= $5,185,000

B. Since, Platinum is higher than Titanium. So, Platinum is more profitable.

Dave and his friend Stewart each owns 50 percent of KBS. During the year, Dave receives $75,000
qaws [65]

Answer: $12717

Explanation:

1. The amount of FICA and/or self-employment tax that Dave is required to pay on his compensation and his

share of the KBS income if KBS is formed as a C corporation, will be:

= 7.65% × $75000

= 7.65/100 × $75000

= 0.0765 × $75000

= $5738

2. As an S Corporation will be:

= 7.65% × $75000

= 7.65/100 × $75000

= 0.0765 × $75000

= $5738

3. As a limited liability company will be:

Dave's compensation = 75,000

Dave's portion of income will be calculated as:

= 50% × $30,000

= 0.5 × $30,000

= $15,000

Total will then be:

= $75000 + $15000 = $90000

We then calculate the net earnings which will be:

= 92.35% × $90000

= 0.9235 × $90000

= $83115

The FICA and/or self-employment tax that Dave is required to pay will then be:

= 15.3% × $83115

= 0.153 × $83115

= $12717
