Muir Manufacturing produces two popular grades of commercial carpeting among its many other products. In the coming production p

eriod, Muir needs to decide how many rolls of each grade should be produced in order to maximize profit. Each roll of Grade X carpet uses 50 units of synthetic fiber requires 25 hours of production time, and needs 20 units of foam backing. Each roll of Grade Y carpet uses 40 units of synthetic fiber requires 28 hours of production time, and needs 15 units of foam backing. The profit per roll of Grade X carpet is $200 and the profit per roll of Grade Y carpet is $160. In the coming production period, Muir has 3000 units of synthetic fiber available for use. Workers have been scheduled to provide at least 1800 hours of production time (overtime is a possibility). The company has 1500 units of foam backing available for use.

Answer:

With 16 Grade X and 54 Grade Y the company maximize their profit at 11,840 dollars

Explanation:

We set up the scenario in Excel and use SOLVER tool:

X = 50 synthetic + 25 labor + 20 foam

Y = 40 synthetic + 28 labor + 15 foam

Profit:

X = 200

Y = 160

Constraing:

synthetics <= 3,000

foam <= 1,500

Grade X and Grade Y are integer.

goal: maximize profit

16 of Grade X

and 54 of grade Y

16 x 50 = 800

16 x 30  = 540

54 x 40  = 2,160

54 x 15  =    810

Profit:

16 x 200 + 54 x 160 = 11840

A machine that cost $225,000 has an estimated residual value of $15,000 and an estimated useful life of 15,000 machine hours. Th
algol [13]

Answer:

$57,000

Explanation:

<u><em>Step 1 : Depreciation Rate</em></u>

Depreciation Rate = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Estimated Production

therefore,

Depreciation Rate = $14.00 per machine hour

<u><em>Step 2 : Depreciation expenses</em></u>

Depreciation expense = Depreciation Rate x Annual production

therefore

Year 1 = $42,000

Year 2 = $56,000

Year 3 = $70,000

Total    = $168,000

<em><u>Step 3 : Book Value</u></em>

Book Value = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

                    = $225,000 - $168,000

                    = $57,000

Conclusion :

book value at the end of year 3 is $57,000

Net Increase in cash = $124,200

Explanation:

Note: The correct value for Year 2021 inventory is $510,300 not $10,300.

Also note: See the attached excel file for the statement of cash flows for 2022.

In the attached excel file, the following workings are used:

Workings:

w.1: Increase in accounts receivable = Account receivable in 2022 - Account receivable in 2021 = $237,600 - $205,200 = $32,400

w.2: Decrease in inventory = Inventory in 2022 - Inventory in 2021 = $450,900 - $510,300 = -$59,400  

w.3: Decrease in accounts payable = Accounts receivable 2022 - Accounts receivable 2021 = $105,300 - $116,100 = -$10,800

w.4: Disposal of land = Land in 2021 - Land in 2022 = $270,000 - $216,000 = $54,000

w.5: Purchase of equipment = Equipment in 2022 - Equipment in 2021 = $702,000 - $540,000 = $162,000

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) $2.800

Explanation:

Using the straight-line method to depreciate, the calculation to find the depreciation tax shield is the following:

  1. Finding the depreciable cost: Depreciable cost = purchase price ($70,000) - salvage value ($14,000) = $56,000
  2. Finding the depreciation per year: Depreciation/year = \frac{Depreciable cost (56,000)}{Asset useful life (7 years)} = $8000
  3. Finally, the depreciation tax shield for 2018: Depreciation tax shield = Dep/year ($8,000) * tax rate (0,35) = $2,800

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

Applet's flexible budget variance for total costs is $5,140  unfavorable variance since actual is higher than budgeted cost

Explanation:

Flexible budget variance for total costs=actual total costs-budgeted total costs of 72 connectors

actual total costs of 72 connectors=$19,000

budgeted total costs of 72 connectors=budgeted fixed cost+budgeted total variable cost of 72 connectors

total budgeted variable cost=72*$130=$ 9,360.00  

budgeted fixed cost is $4,500

Budgeted total costs of 72 connectors=$9,360.00+$4,500.00=$ 13,860.00  

Flexible budget variance =$ 13,860.00-$19,000.00=$5140  unfavorable variance
