Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
For February,
Opening inventory would have been:
= 25% of February
= (25% × $89,000)
= $22,250
Ending inventory would have been:
= 25% of March
= (25% × $59,000)
= $14,750
Hence,
Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
$89,000 = $22,250 + Purchases - $14,750
Purchases = $89,000 + $14,750 - $22,250
= $81,500
Therefore, the budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be $81,500.
Answer:
Unitary variable cost= $8.08
Contribution margin= $15.92
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $4.98
Direct labor 2.10
Variable factory overhead 1.00
The variable cost per unit is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead.
Unitary variable cost= 4.98 + 2.1 + 1= $8.08
The contribution margin per unit is the difference between the selling price and the unitary variable cost:
Contribution margin= 24 - 8.08= $15.92
