Computation of cost per unit

$ $

Cost of beginning work-in-progress 3,500 16,000

Cost added 25,000 45,000

Total cost  28,500  61,000

Material cost per unit = $28,500

95,000 units

= $0.30 per unit

Conversion cost per unit = $61,000

76,250 units

= $0.80 per unit

Value of units transferred out

Material = 70,000 x $0.30 = $21,000

Conversion = 70,000 x $0.80 = $56,000

Value of closing work-in-progress

Material = 25,000 x $0.30 = $7,500

Conversion = 6,250 x $0.80 = $5,000

Explanation:

In this case, we will obtain the average divisor by adding the ending work-in-progress to the units transferred out. Then, we will determine the total cost of material and conversion ,which is the aggregate of cost of opening work-in -progress and cost added during the year. We also need to obtain the unit cost of material and conversion, which is total cost of material and conversion divided by the average divisor.

Finally, we will value the units transferred out and ending work-in-progress at unit cost of material and conversion.

At May 1, 2022, Nash's Trading Post, LLC had beginning inventory consisting of 220 units with a unit cost of $5. During May, the

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Nash's Trading Post's gross profit for the month of May is $6,105.

Explanation:

To determine the gross profit of Nash's Trading Post, the total cost of inventory sold must be subtracted from the value of sales made, with which said result will indicate the gross profit obtained.

At the beginning of May, the company had an inventory of 220 units with a cost of $ 5, that is, a total cost of $ 1,100 (220 x 5). Then, 440 units are added to $ 5, adding a cost of $ 2,200, and 670 units to $ 6, with which a cost of $ 4,020 is added.

Thus, the total inventory for the month is 1,330 units, at a cost of $ 7,320, which gives an average cost of $ 5.5 per unit (7,320 / 1,330).

Now, having sold 1,110 units at $ 11, the cost of the units sold must be subtracted from the value of sales, calculating them at the average cost of $ 5.5.

So, the value of sales is $ 12,210 (1,110 x 11), while the cost of units sold is $ 6,105 (1,110 x 5.5). Therefore, the gross profit of the company during the month of May is $ 12,210 - 6,105, that is, the gross profit of the company was $ 6,105.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Controling.

Explanation:

Analyzing the above scenario, it is possible to identify that the process of determining the reason for the higher costs and taking measures to reduce those costs is part of an organization's control management process.

It is essential that each company has a well-established control management system, as a way of positively influencing employees in the company and ensuring that all strategic activities and actions are carried out as planned to achieve organizational objectives and goals.

An effective management control process ensures that companies operate more effectively, improving organizational resource management processes, reducing costs and making management more structured and effective so that a company remains competitive and profitable in the market.

. Intellus has long-term debt of $5 million, owners' equity of $7.5 million, current assets of $1 million, gross fixed assets of

stich3 [128]

Answer:

- $0.5 million

Explanation:

The computation of the net working capital is shown below:

We know that

Net working capital = Current assets - current liabilities

where,

Current assets = $1 million

The net fixed assets = Gross fixed assets - Accumulated depreciation

= $20 million - $7 million

= $13 million

Total assets = Current assets + net fixed assets

= $1 million + $13 million

= $14 million

And,

Total assets = Total liabilities + owners equity

$14 million = Total liabilities + $7.5 million

So, the total liabilities is

= $14 million - $7.5 million

= $6.5 million

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + long term debt

$6.5 million = Current liabilities + $5 million

So, Current liabilities is $1.5 million

Now the net working capital equal to

= $1 million - $1.5 million

= - $0.5 million

Harris Fabrics computes its plantwide predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning

wolverine [178]

Answer:

$6.7 per direct labor hour

Explanation:

Given:

Direct labor-hours = 20,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $94,000

variable manufacturing overhead = $2.00 per direct labor-hour

Actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year = $123,900

Actual total direct labor = 21,000 hours

Now,

Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead

= 94000 + ( 2 × 20000 )

= $134,000

And,

Predetremined Overhead Rate = $\frac{\textup{Estimated Maufacturing Overhead}}{\textup{Estimated Direct Labor Hours.}}$

or

Predetremined Overhead Rate = $\frac{\textup{134,000}}{\textup{20000}}$

or

Predetremined Overhead Rate = $6.7 per direct labor hour
