Answer:

d. greater than economic profits because the former do not take implicit costs into account.

Explanation:

Accounting profit is total revenue less total cost or explicit cost.

Explicit cost are costs that is actually incurred. They appear in the financial statements of a company.

Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost.

Implicit cost is also known as opportunity cost. It is the cost of the activity forgone in order to carry out another activity. For example, if I earn $100 working as a teaching assistant but resign to start my own business as a fashion designer where I earn $500, my opportunity cost is $100.

Accounting profit is usually greater than economic profit because it doesn't take into account implicit cost. Accounting profit can be equal to economic profit if implicit cost is zero.

I hope my answer helps you.

The question is incomplete as the figures are missing. The complete question is,

Fosnight Enterprises prepared the following sales budget:

Month Budgeted Sales

March $6,000

April $13,000

May $11,000

June $20,000

The expected gross profit rate is 20% and the inventory at the end of February was $7,000. Desired inventory levels at the end of the month are 30% of the next month's cost of goods sold. What are the total purchases budgeted for May?

Answer:

Purchases - May = $10960

Explanation:

To calculate the total value of purchases that are budgeted for May, we first need to calculate the cost of goods sold and the opening and closing inventory for May.

As the gross profit margin is 20%, the cost of goods sold will be 80% of sales.

Cost of goods sold for May = 0.8 * 11000 = $8800

Cost of goods sold for June = 0.8 * 20000 = $16000

Opening inventory - May = 8800 * 0.3 = $2640

Closing Inventory - May = 16000 * 0.3 = $4800

Purchases = Closing Inventory + Cost of Goods Sold for the month - Opening Inventory

Purchases - May = 4800 + 8800 - 2640

Purchases - May = $10960

Answer:

100,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the transferred out units of the process is shown below:

= Transferred units × percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units × percentage of completion

= 90,000 units × 100% + 10,000 units × 100%

= 90,000 units + 10,000 units

A study has been conducted to determine if one of the departments in MSU Company should be discontinued. The contribution margin

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

c. decrease by $10,000 per year.

Explanation:

The contributing margin of a business is sales revenue less the variable cost to produce the product

Contributing margin refers to the profit that is free to be used by the business to pay fixed costs and reserve as net profit.

In this scenario if the department is discounted the fixed expense will reduce by $40,000

This implies that the net income will increase by $40,000 if the department is discontinued.

If the department is discontinued income from the department will reduce by $50,000. That is -$50,000

Net income= -50,000 + 40,000= -$10,000
