Answer:

1. $30,500;

2. $30,000;

3. $22,000;

=> Option 1 produce the highest net income.

Explanation:

We have sell price per unit = 305K /5K = $61

1.  Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume:

Sell price = 61 x 1.1 = $67.1

Sales revenue = 67.1 x 5,000 = $335,500

Increase in sales revenue = 335.5K - 305K = $30,500

As costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,500.

2.  Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales:

New variable cost = $305,000 x 60% = $183,000

Saving in variable cost = 213K - 183K = $30,000

As fixed cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $30,000

3. Reduce fixed costs by $22,000:

As variable cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in fixed cost which is $22,000

Samples Corporation would like to use target costing for a new product it is considering introducing. At a selling price of $21
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

$18.60

Explanation:

Target cost:

= Sales revenue - Profit

= (No. of units sold × Selling price per unit) - (Investment require × desired return on investment)

= (20,000 × $21) - ($400,000 × 0.12)

= $420,000 - $48,000

= $372,000

Target cost per unit:

= Target cost ÷ Number of units

= $372,000 ÷ 20,000

= $18.60

Therefore, the target cost per unit is closest to $18.60.

If an employer chooses a per diem method of substantiation for travel expenses,
Ahat [919]

If an employer chooses a per diem method of substantiation for travel expenses, the meals and incidental expenses method requires actual cost records to substantiate lodging expenses.

Option E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The price of the meal and the additional expenses while travelling away from home for work purposes is deducted from an employee or self-employed person. The expense deduction generally requires the costs to be substantiated.

There has been, however, an optional form that prohibits receipts for these taxpayers.

The IRS releases Diem levels for different parts of the United States (see Notification 2015-63 on the subject of irs.gov). For just the intent of measuring a meal and an accessory deduction, taxpayers may use such per diem rates and will be required to prove it.

If an employer wants a method of proof of travel expenses by Diem, the meal and by-product procedure requires real cost records in order to prove accommodation expenses.

A plant asset cost $160000 and is estimated to have a $16000 salvage value at the end of its 4-year useful life. The annual depr
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

For computing the depreciation expense, first we have to determine the first and second year depreciation which are shown below:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 4

= 25%

Now the rate is double So, 50%

In year 1, the original cost is $160,000, so the depreciation is $80,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $80,000 × 50% = $40,000

The 80,000 is come from = $160,000 - $80,000

And, in year 3, the $40,000 × 50% = $20,000

The 40,000 is come from = $80,000 - $40,000
