Answer:

b. 1,2,3,4

Explanation:

Lets first understand what relevant cost is? Relevant cost is any cost that influences the decision of a decision maker. Therefore, the first four items are relevant in the decision of whether to sell the X-547 or to further process it.

Explanation for each item is as follows:

1- Selling price of X-547:

The selling price is relevant because it will help to determine the revenue generated from selling X-547 at the split off point and which could also be used for comparative purposes, if suppose the decision of further processing is chosen.

2- Variable cost of processing X-547 into Xylene:

The variable cost of processing X-547 is indeed relevant too, because at this stage management is not in a position to take a decision until they explore the possibilities coming out of processing X-547, therefore, in order to come to a decision making position the management will need to know the variable cost of processing X-547, making it relevant in the decision.

3- The avoidable fixed costs of processing X-547 into Xylene:

There is sometimes a fear (i.e fear of increase in step-fixed costs as a result of processing a product or fear of loss of control over costs) felt by the management when trying to process certain products for further development therefore those fixed costs which can be avoided during processing X-547 can also influence (i.e encourage) the decision of further processing X-547, making it relevant.

4- The selling price of Xylene:

The last but not the least, the selling price of Xylene. If the management finds that if X-547 is further processed into Xylene and it sells at a highly favorable/lucrative price, creating a huge margin for them then definitely they would be encouraged to taking the decision of further processing it.

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

(29,800)

Explanation:

The computation of the financial advantage or disadvantage is shown below:

As we know that

Financial disadvantage = Cost of making - Cost of buying

where,

Cost of making is

= [(Direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + variable manufacturing overhead per unit) × units produced] + additional segment margin

= [($4.7 + $9.30 + $9.80 + $5.20) × 22,000 units] + $34,000

= ($29 × 22,000 units ) + $34,000

= $672,000

And, the Cost of buying is

= Units produced × offered price

= 22,000 units × $31.90

= $701,800

So,

Financial disadvantage is

= Cost of making - Cost of buying

= $672,000 - $701,800

= (29,800)

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

<u>Equipment:</u>

                                                  Dr.       Cr.

Depreciation Expense          $5,520

Accumulated Depreciation                $5,520

<u>Land:</u>

Land never depreciates, so there is no adjusting entry for the Land purchased on year end.

Explanation:

Year end is not given in the data so, it is assumed the December 31 is the end of the year

Equipment

Depreciation  for the year = ( Purchase price - Residual value ) / useful life

Depreciation  for the year = ( $32,000 - $4,400 ) / 5 years

Depreciation  for the year = $5,520
