Parisian Cosmetics Company is planning a one-month campaign for September to promote sales of one of its two cosmetics products.

A total of $136,430 has been budgeted for advertising, contests, redeemable coupons, and other promotional activities. The following data have been assembled for their possible usefulness in deciding which of the products to select for the campaign:
Moisturizer Perfume
Unit selling price $55.32 $59.64
Unit production costs:
Direct materials $ 9.05 $14.00
Direct labor 3.06 4.93
Variable factory overhead 3.04 4.93
Fixed factory overhead 6.03 3.93
Total unit production costs $21.18 $27.79
Unit variable selling expenses 16.02 14.97
Unit fixed selling expenses 12.04 5.95
Total unit costs $49.24 $48.71
Operating income per unit $ 6.08 $10.93

No increase in facilities would be necessary to produce and sell the increased output. It is anticipated that 22,000 additional units of moisturizer or 20,000 additional units of perfume could be sold from the campaign without changing the unit selling price of either product.

Required:
1. Prepare a differential analysis as of August 21 to determine whether to promote moisturizer (Alternative 1) or perfume (Alternative 2). Refer to the lists of Labels and Amount Descriptions for the exact wording of the answer choices for text entries. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign. If there is no amount or an amount is zero, enter "0". A colon (:) will automatically appear if required.
2. Determine whether to promote moisturizer (Alternative 1) or promote perfume (Alternative 2).
3. The sales manager had tentatively decided to promote perfume, estimating that operating income would be increased by $82,170 ($10.93 operating income per unit for 20,000 units, less promotion expenses of $136,430). The manager also believed that the selection of moisturizer would reduce operating income by $2,670 ($6.08 operating income per unit for 22,000 units, less promotion expenses of $136,430). State briefly your reasons for supporting or opposing the tentative decision.

Answer:

Explanation:

1.) Promote Moisturizer or Promote Perfume

21-Aug

Promote Moisturizer Promote Perfume Differential Effect

(Alternative 1) (Alternative 2) (Alternative 2)

Revenues 22,000 units x $55.32 = $1,217,040 20,000 units x $59.64 = $1,192,800 ($24,240)

Costs:  

Direct Materials 22,000 units x $9.05 = $199,100 20,000 units x $14 = $280,000 ($80,900)

Direct Labor 22,000 units x $3.06 = $67,320 20,000 units x $4.93 = $98,600 ($31,280)

Variable Factory Overhead 22,000 units x $3.04 = $66,880 20,000 units x $4.93 = $98,600 ($31,720)

Variable Selling expenses 22,000 units x $16.02 = $199,100 20,000 units x $14.97 = $299,400 $53,040

Sales Promotion $136,430 $136,430 $0

Income (Loss) $394,870 $279,770 ($115,100)

Alternative 1 income = $394,870

Alternative 2 income = $279,770

Alternative 3 income = $115,100

2.) The company should promote moisturizer (Alternative 1)

3.) The decision of the manager is absolutely wrong as the manager is of the view that operating income will increase by $82,170 because he has considered the fixed expenses too which are not going to occur as we can see in the question. Hence the fixed expenses is irrelevant to cost to choose the alternative. As per the differential analysis, Alternative 1 i.e to sale moisturizer extra with the help of the promotion expenses.

The Conner Company uses a two-step process for making wooden boards with holes in them. Step 1 is drilling and Step 2 is sanding
Travka [436]

The maximum output from Step 1 using the hand drill is 2 units per hour (option C).

To know how many boards of wood can be made in a given time using the manual drill that takes 2 minutes making each hole and 2 minutes loading, the following operations must be done.

Multiply the number of holes in each table by the amount of time it takes the drill to drill each hole.

  • 14 × 2min = 28min

Add the time it takes for the drill to make the total holes to the two minutes it takes to load.

  • 28min + 2min = 30min

According to the above, each table takes 30 minutes to complete. So the correct answer is 2 units per hour (option C).

This question is incomplete because the options are missing. Here are the options.

A) 10 units per hour

B) 5 units per hour

C) 2 units per hour

D) 12 units per hour

E) None of the above

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one uni
yarga [219]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct material:

Standard Quantity= 6.8 pounds per unit

Standard cost= $3 per pound

Direct labor:

Standard hours= 0.40

Standard cost= $13 per hour

Direct material purchased= 13,200 punds

Direct material used= 11,880 pounds

Direct material cost= $2.90 per pound.

Production= 1,320 units

<u>With the information provided, we can only calculate the direct material price and quantity variance. We don't have the actual direct labor hours and costs.</u>

To calculate the direct material variances, we need to use the following formulas:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (3 - 2.9)*13,200= $1,320 favorable

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Direct material quantity variance= (6.8*1,320 - 11,880)*3

Direct material quantity variance= (8,976 - 11,880)*3= $8,712 unfavorable

At the beginning of the year, a company predicts total overhead costs of $810,900. The company applies overhead using machine ho
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

$13,780

Explanation:

For computing the overhead applied first we have to determine the predetermined overhead rate which is shown below:

Predetermined overhead rate = Total overhead cost ÷ Machine hours

= $810,900 ÷ 1,530 machine hours

= $530

Now the amount of overhead applied is

= predetermined overhead rate × number of machine hours used

= $530 × 26 machine hours

= $13,780

By multiplying the predetermined overhead rate with the number of machine hours used we can get the amount of overhead applied

fomenos

COGS= $920,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= $55,000

Ending inventory= $45,000

Purchases= 210,000 + 130,000 + 160,000 + 410,000= $910,000

<u>To calculate the cost of goods sold (COGS), we need to use the following formula:</u>

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS=  55,000 + 910,000 - 45,000
