given data

producing  = 37 units  

marginal cost MC = $3

Candy Canes Inc. spends $100,000 to buy sugar and peppermint in April. It produces its candy and sells it to distributors in May
Pie

Answer:

April,

  • Sales is zero
  • Net income is zero
  • Net cash flow is an outflow of $100,000 (used in the purchase of raw materials)

May,

  • Sales is $150,000
  • Net income is $500,00
  • Net cash flow is zero

And in June;

  • Sales is zero
  • Net income is zero
  • Net cash flow is an inflow of $150,000 (amount received from customers)

Explanation:

In April, the company purchased raw materials (Sugar and Peppermint) for $100,000. The entries posted are debit to Inventories and Credit to Cash account (both amounting to $100,000 each).

As such in April,

  • Sales is zero
  • Net income is zero
  • Net cash flow is an outflow of $100,000 (used in the purchase of raw materials)

It produces its candy and sells it to distributors in May for $150,000, but it does not receive payment until June.

When the sale is made in May, the entries required is Debit accounts receivables $150,000 and Credit Sales revenue $150,000. Also, Debit cost of goods sold $100,000 and Credit Inventories $100,000.

Net income is the difference between sales and cost of sales.

As such in May,

  • Sales is $150,000
  • Net income is $500,00
  • Net cash flow is zero

For June,

Payment for goods sold in May were received, entries posted are debit to cash account and a credit to accounts receivables (both balance sheet accounts), hence;

  • Sales is zero
  • Net income is zero
  • Net cash flow is an inflow of $150,000 (amount received from customers)

May 31

Finished Goods Inventory 3,024,000 (debit)

Work In Process 3,024,000 (credit)

Explanation:

<u></u>

Equivalent Units of Production Calculation

<u>Materials</u>

Units Completed and Transferred ( 25,200 × 100%) = 25,200

Units in Closing Work In Process ( 2,700 × 100%)     =    2,700

Total Equivalent Units of Production                          =  27,900

<u>Conversion Cost</u>

Units Completed and Transferred ( 25,200 × 100%) = 25,200

Units in Closing Work In Process ( 2,700 × 80%)       =    2,160

Total Equivalent Units of Production                          =  27,360

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production

Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units of Production

Materials = ( $20,400 + $677,100) / 27,900

               = $25.00

Conversion Cost = ( $248,940 + $2,350,260) / 27,360

                            = $95.00

Total Cost per Equivalent Unit = $120.00

The cost of completed units to finished goods inventory = 25,200 × $120.00 = $3,024,000.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

a. Supply increases, Supply curve shifts to the right

b.  Demand decreases, Demand curve shifts to the left

c. Demand increases, Demand curve shifts to the right

d.  Supply decreases, Supply curve shifts to the left

Explanation:

a. There have recently been some important cost-saving inventions in the technology for making paint- Supply will increase due to lower cost in production. Shifting the supply curve to the right. Price of paint will fall and quantity will increase.

b. Paint is lasting longer, so that property owners need not repaint as often- Demand for paint will fall due to its long lasting. This shifts the demand curve to the left decreasing the price and quantity of paints.

c. Because of severe hail storms, many people need to repaint now- Demand for paint will increase shifting the demand curve to the right increasing the price and quantity of paints.

d. The hail storms damaged several factories that make paint, forcing them to close down for several months- Supply of paint will decrease as factories close down. This will shift the supply curve to the left increasing the price of pain and decreasing the quantity of paint.
