Blowing Sand Company has just received a one-time offer to purchase 10,000 units of its Gusty model for a price of $22 each. The

Gusty model normally sells for $30 and costs $26 to produce ($17 in variable costs and $9 of fixed overhead). Because the offer came during a slow production month, Blowing Sand has enough excess capacity to accept the order.

Answer:

a. Accept the order

b. Increase in short-term profit of $50,000

Explanation:

<em>Note : Blowing Sand has "enough excess capacity" this means that fixed cost will be the same in the range or they will be ocurred whether or not the special order is accepted.</em>

Therefore fixed costs are Irrelevant for this decision.

<u>Incremental Costs and Revenues - accept the special order</u>

Sales ( 10,000 units × $22 each)                               $220,000

<em>Less</em> Variable Costs ( 10,000 units × $17each)         ($170,000)

Net Income                                                                  $50,000

The special order will result in an increase in short term profit of $50,000. Therefore, Blowing Sand Company should accept the order.

Answer:

Blowing Sand Company should accept the special order

The order increases short-term profit by $50,000

Explanation:

The rationale for accepting or rejecting the order is hinged on the need to calculate the contribution to recovering fixed costs and making an extra net income

Sales value of the order (10,000*$22)   $220,000

Variable costs($17*10,000)                     ($170,000)

Extra contribution                                    $50,000

The order brings an extra contribution of $50,000,since the fixed costs would be incurred regardless of whether the special order is taken or not,it would be wise to accept the order as it would increase profit by$50,000

Nesterboy [21]

The corporation must provide disclosure documents that generally are the same as those used in registered offerings to any unaccredited investors.

<h3>What is unaccredited investors?</h3>

Any investor who does not meet the Securities and Exchange Commission's income or net worth requirements is considered a non-accredited investor (SEC).

Because of the limitations described above, many companies discover that raising funds from non-accredited investors often results in incremental professional fees equal to or greater than the amount raised from these investors.

The Securities and Exchange Commission's rules distinguish between "accredited investors" and "non-accredited investors." "Accredited investors" may purchase securities that have not been registered with regulatory authorities, whereas "non-accredited" investors have fewer investment options.

World Company expects to operate at 70% of its productive capacity of 38,000 units per month. At this planned level, the company
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

a. Predetermined Overhead Rate

Rate   = Overhead cost / standard hours of direct labor

Variable Overhead Costs Rate = 182875 / 16625 = 11  

Fixed Overhead Costs Rate= 66500 / 16625  = 4

Total Overhead Costs Rate = Variable Overhead Costs  + Fixed Overhead Costs

= 11 + 4

= 15

b. Total overhead variance

Overhead costs applied= Overhead * Standard Direct Labor Hours

When Standard Direct Labor Hours= (16625 / 38000 * 70%) * 44600

= (16625 / 26600) * 44600.

= 0.625 * 44600

= 27875 Hours.

i. Variable Overhead Costs = 11 * 27875 = 306625

ii. Fixed Overhead Costs = 4 * 27875 = 111500

iii. Total Overhead Costs = 15 * 27875 = 418125

The company incurred $421,625 actual overhead which is the Actual overhead.

Hence, Total overhead variance= Total Overhead - Costs Actual overhead

= $418,125 - $421,625

= -3500 (Unfavorable)
