High-Low Cost Estimation and Profit Planning Comparative 2007 and 2008 income statements for Dakota Products Inc. follow: DAKOTA
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

(a)

5,500 units

(b)

6,125 units

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the per unit selling price.

                        2007       2008

Unit sales        5,000      8,000

Sales revenue $60,000 $96,000

Selling Price    $12           $12

Now we need th separate the vairbale and fixed cost from total expense using high low method

Variable cost = ( Higher activity Expense - Lower activity Expense ) / ( Higher activity - Lower activity )

Variable cost = ( $76,000 - $64,000 ) / ( 8,000 units - 5,000 units )

Variable cost = $12,000 / 3,000 units = $4 per unit

Fixed cost = $76,000 - ( $4 x 8,000 units ) = $44,000

Contribution Margin = Selling Price - Variable cost = $12 - $4 = $8

(a)

Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost  / Contributin margin per unit

Breakeven Point = $44,000 / $8 = 5,500 units

(b)

Target sales = ( Fixed cost + Desired Profit ) / Contribution margin per unit

Target sales = ( $44,000 + $5,000 ) / $8 = 6,125 units

Texas Corporation is undergoing a complete liquidation and distributes land to​ Robert, one of its​ shareholders, in exchange fo
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

                                                                  = - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Dr Retained earnings $14,000

Cr Inventory $14,000

Explanation:

There is a need to make adjustment to the inventory . Therefore,

Adjusted inventory

= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000

= $14,000 decrease

It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.

Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.

Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
