Janelle Heinke, the owner of Ha'Peppas!, is considering a new oven in which to bake the firm's signature dish, vegetarian pizza.

Oven type A can handle 20 pizzas an hour. The fixed costs associated with oven A are $20,000 and the variable costs are $2.00 per pizza. Oven B is larger and can handle 40 pizzas an hour. The fixed costs associated with oven B are $30,000 and the variable costs are $1.25 per pizza. The pizzas sell for $14 each.
a) What is the break-even point for each oven?

b) If the owner expects to sell 9,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase?

c) If the owner expects to sell 12,000 pizzas, which oven should she purchase?

Answer:

a) Oven A  = 1,667; Oven B = 2,353 pizzas.

b) Oven A

c) Oven A

d) 13,334 pizzas

Explanation:

Since nothing was mentioned regarding her time availability, the capacity of each oven will not be taken into account.

The income equation for ovens A and B, respectively, are:

A=(14-2)x-20,000\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000

Where 'x' is the number of pizzas sold.

a) The break-even occurs when income is zero:

A=0=(14-2)x-20,000\\x_A=1,666.66\\B=(14-1.25)x-30,000\\x_B=2,352.94

Rounding up to the next whole pizza, the break-even for oven A is 1,667 pizzas and for oven B it is 2,353 pizzas.

b) For x = 9,000:

A=(14-2)*9,000-20,000\\A=\$88,000\\B=(14-1.25)*9,000-30,000\\B=\$84,750

Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.

c) For x = 12,000

A=(14-2)*12,000-20,000\\A=\$124,000\\B=(14-1.25)*12,000-30,000\\B=\$123,000

Income is greater with oven A, so Janelle should use oven A.

d) She should switch ovens at the value for 'x' that causes B to be greater than A:

A

Rounding up to the next whole pizza, she should switch ovens at a volume of 13,334 pizzas.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Total  effect on income= $190,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales (500,000 units) $90,000,000

Cost of goods sold 54,000,000

Gross profit 36,000,000

Operating expenses 24,000,000

Net income $12,000,000

An analysis of costs and expenses reveals that the variable cost of goods sold is $95 per unit and variable operating expenses are $35 per unit. In September, Carney Company receives a special order for 40,000 machines at $135 each from a major coffee shop franchise. Acceptance of the order would result in $10,000 of shipping costs but no increase in fixed expenses

Because it is a special offer and there is unused capacity, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Total unitary cost= 95 + 35 + (10,000/40,000)= 130.25

Contribution margin= 135 - 130.25= 4.75

Total  effect on income= 4.75*40,000= $190,000

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The actual labor rate per hour is $12

Explanation:

First and foremost, we need to understand that a direct labor spending variance of $990(unfavorable) means that the firm spent an additional $990 compared to what was expected.

Also, the spending variance is computed as the actual labor rate minus the standard labor rate multiplied by the actual labor hours worked

spending variance=(actual labor rate-standard labor rate)*actual labor hours

spending variance=$990

actual labor rate=unknown=(assume it is X)

standard labor rate=$11

actual labor hours worked=990

$990=(X-$11)*990

$990/990=X-$11

$1=X-$11

X=$1+$11

X=actual labor rate=$12
