Answer:

The answer is LIFO

Explanation:

LIFO is Last in First out. It means the Inventory that was purchased last goes out first.

In periods LIFO, cost of sales reflects the cost of goods purchased recently and the ending Inventory reflects the older goods.

In periods of falling prices, the costs of ending inventory are high, cost of sales are low and the gross profit are high.

serg [7]

Answer:

After calculating, we get to know that the Product A should be sell now because, it show a difference of $23,800 through which company can earn more in the future. As the company will be better off by $23,800

Explanation:

For calculation, following things need to be considered which is shown below:

1. Product A process costing = Pounds × Per pound price

                                            = 34,000 × $8

                                            = $272,000

2. Product A costing after selling = Pounds × sale price per pound

                                                   = 34,000 × $14

                                                   = $476,000

3. Difference of costing :

=  Product A costing after selling - Product A process costing

= $476,000 - $272,000

= $204,000

4. Invested amount = $227,800

5. Actual Difference = Invested amount - costing difference

                                  = $227,800 - $204,000

                                  = $23,800

After calculating, we get to know that the Product A should be sell now because, it show a difference of $23,800 through which company can earn more in the future. As the company will be better off by $23,800

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Operating Income = $100,000

Explanation:

1 a. What is the current annual operating income?  

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.3 = 1,500,000

Contribution = 1,000,000 (margin = 1m/2.5m = 40%)

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = $100,000

b. What is the present break even point in revenues?  

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 900,000/0.4 = $2,250,000

2. A $0.04 per unit increase in variable costs  

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.34 = 1,700,000

Contribution = 800,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = ($100,000)

3. A 10% increase in fixed costs and a 10% increase in units sold  

Revenue - 5,500,000* $0.5 = 2,750,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,500,000*$0.3 = 1,650,000

Contribution = 1,100,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$990.000

Operating Income = $110,000

4. A 20% decrease in fixed costs, a 20% decrease in selling price, a 10% decrease in variable cost per unit and a 40% increase inunits sold.  

Revenue - 7,000,000* $0.4 = 2,800,000

Less: Variable Costs - 7,000,000*$0.27 = 1,890,000

Contribution = 910,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$720.000

Operating Income = $190,000

5.Compute the new breakeven point in units for each of the following changes:   A 10% increase in fixed costs  

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 810,000/0.4 = $2,025,000

6. A 10% increase in selling price and a $20,000 increase in fixed costs

Revised Contribution Margin = 0.55 - 0.3 = 0.25; 0.25/0.55 = 0.4545

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 1080,000/0.4545 = $2,376,238
