<em>ABC Profit  contract A  $ (3000) contract B  $ 11250</em>

<em>Under absorption costing both contract yield profits.</em>

Explanation:

Customer                         AAA               BBB

Contract Value ($)       $27,000            $100,000

Contract Quantity         1,000 unit        2,000 unit

Material cost/unit              $15                        $20

Molding time/batch          5 hours            7.5 hours

Batch size                       100 units                50 units

Activity Based Rate= Cost per Unit of Cost Driver

Activity                Cost driver         Cost                 Rate

Molding                2,000              $150,000        $150,000 / 2,000 = 75

Inspection            150                   $75,000        $75,000/150 = 500

<u>Production             20                 $125,000        $125,000/20=  6250         </u>

Answer:

Profit margin = net profit / total sales = $78 / $5,200 = 1.5%  

Asset turnover = total sales / average total assets = $5,200 / ($2,990 + $3,510) = 1.6

Return on assets = net income / average total assets = $78 / $3,250 = 2.4%  

Return on common stockholders’ equity =  net income / average stockholders' equity = $78 / ($992 + $1,031) = 7.71%  

Gross profit rate = gross profit / total sales = $1,716 / $5,200 = 33%

What is Labor force?
The labor force is made up of both employed people and unemployed people, and the unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of jobless people by the total labor force. If a person works for compensation or runs their own business for at least an hour any day of the week, including the twelfth of the month, they are regarded to be employed. If a person works for compensation or runs their own business for at least an hour any day of the week, including the twelfth of the month, they are regarded to be employed. In a family-run firm, individuals who put in at least fifteen hours of unpaid work are also regarded as employees. Employed people include those who are temporarily away from their work due to a vacation, illness, inclement weather, or other personal reasons. Those who worked full-time (35 hours or more during the survey week) and those who worked part-time are both considered to be in the employed category.
