Therefore, The aggregate expenditures must have fallen by $45 billion.
Answer:
- $25.50
- 90,000 units
- 140,000 units
Explanation:
1. Current contribution margin ratio
= (Selling price - Variable cost)/ Selling price
= (25 - 19.8) / 25
= 0.208
New Direct labor = 5.0 * ( 1 + 8%)
= $5.40
New variable cost = 19.8 + 0.4 = $20.20
To maintain 0.208
0.208 = (Selling price - 20.20) / Selling price
0.208 * Price = Price - 20.20
0.208Price - Price = -20.20
-0.792Price = -20.20
Price = -20.20/-0.792
Price = $25.50
2. Breakeven = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin
Contribution Margin = Selling price - Variable cost
= 25 - 19.8
= $5.20
= 468,000/5.2
= 90,000 units
3. To earn $260,000;
= (Fixed Cost + 260,000) / Contribution margin
= (468,000 + 260,000) /5.2
= 140,000 units
Answer:
c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Explanation:
To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.
<u>Option A</u>
Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.
Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)
Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)
Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.
<u />
<u>Option B</u>
If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.
<u />
<u>Option C</u>
The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.
The ending inventory under LIFO is $18
The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5
Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.
Answer:
The cost of goods available for sale is $345,000
Explanation:
Beginning finished goods inventory $25,000
Cost of Goods manufactured $320,000
Cost of Goods available for sale,
= Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of Goods manufactured
= $25,000 + $320,000
= $345,000
