Complete Question:

The management accountant at Jang Manufacturing Co. collected the following data in preparation for a life-cycle analysis on one of its products, a leaf blower: Item This Year Change Over Last Year Average Annual Change Over the Last Four Years Annual sales $3,200,000 -2.4% +3.5% Unit sales price 500 -2.1% +3.3% Unit profit 100 -10.0% +2.0% Total profit 700,000 -1.2% +3.0% The stage of the sales life cycle the product is in is:

Answer:

Jang Manufacturing Co.

The stage of the sales life cycle the product is in is:

The introduction stage.

Explanation:

a) Life-Cycle Analysis of the Leaf Blower:

Item                                This Year Change   Average Annual Change

                                         Over Last Year       Over the Last Four Years

Annual sales $3,200,000    -2.4%                          +3.5%

Unit sales price         500     -2.1%                          +3.3%

Unit profit                   100   -10.0%                          +2.0%

Total profit         700,000     -1.2%                          +3.0%

b) The sales life cycle is a series of sales steps that the seller takes in order to convert a customer to make a buying decision.  It starts with the introduction stage when the seller creates customer awareness.  At this stage of the sales life cycle, the product can be likened to a potential STAR.  Like Stars with potential, the initial sales efforts can eventually  grow to become successful customer closes.

Santayana Company purchased a machine on January 1, 2011, for $20,000 with an estimated salvage value of $5,000 and an estimated
Aliun [14]

Answer:

$1,125

Explanation:

Given that,

Cost of machine = $20,000

Estimated salvage value = $5,000

Estimated useful life = 8 years

Depreciation refers to the reduction in the value of the fixed assets of a particular company with the passage of time.

Here, we are using the straight line method,

Annual depreciation is as follows:

= (Cost of machine - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated useful years

= ($20,000 - $5,000) ÷ 8

= $1,875

Depreciation amount for the year 2011 = $1,875

Depreciation amount for the year 2012 = $1,875

Therefore, the book value of the machine at the beginning of January 1, 2013 is as follows:

= Cost of machine - Depreciation amount for the year 2011 - Depreciation amount for the year 2012

= $20,000 - $1,875 - $1,875

= $16,250

Now, the Santayana decides the machine will last 12 years from the date of purchase and we have already deduct the depreciation for the 2 years. So, we need to consider only 10 years for calculating the new annual depreciation.

Salvage value remains the same.

New annual depreciation:

= (Book value at the beginning of 2013 - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life

= ($16,250 - $5,000) ÷ 10

= $11,250 ÷ 10

= $1,125

Radar Company sells bikes for $490 each. The company currently sells 4,300 bikes per year and could make as many as 4,620 bikes
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Radar's additional income for accepting the order is calculated as follows:

Sales - 320 x $460 = $147,200

less Cost of Sales = 320 x $180 + $48,000 = $105,600

Additional Income = $41,600

Explanation:

The additional income of $41,600 is $147,200 - $105,600, which is the result of deducting cost of sales from Sales.

The cost of sales includes the variable cost per bike, including the incremental fixed costs ($48,000) to make this order.

To make a decision whether to accept an order or not, the company needs to consider all variable costs, including the incremental fixed costs.  The resulting additional income is what is available to offset the fixed costs.

An increase in the selling price per unit will decrease an organization's operating leverage, assuming sales unit volume doesn't
xenn [34]

Answer:

a) true

Explanation:

This is true because, increasing the price of the product sold by an organisation directly lead to the reduction of the operating cost of the said organization, all other things being equal. <em>For example, a glass manufacturing company increasing the selling price per unit glass from $40 to $90 will definitely lead to operating cost reduction.</em>

b. Conversion cost per equivalent unit during March

                  Total Conversion Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Conversion

               =   106970/56,300 = $1.9 per Equivalent Unit

Materials cost per equivalent unit during March

 Total Materials Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Materials

Transferred In cost per equivalent unit during March

Total Transferred In Costs / Total Transferred In Units

C. Cost Assigned To Transferred Out Goods $ 268,320

Materials = 52,000*0.54= $ 28080

Conversion = 52,000* 1.9=  98800

Transferred in Units = 2.72 * 52000= 141440

Cost Assigned To Ending Work In Process $66650

Conversion = 4300* 1.9=  8170

Transferred in Units = 2.72 * 21500= 58,480

C. Total Costs Assigned = Transferred Out + Ending = <u>$334970</u>

d.  Conversion cost assigned to the ending work in process: $8170

Conversion = 4300* 1.9=  8170

<em>We see the difference between the weighted average and FIFO method is that the FIFO method only accounts for the current period costs not the total the costs.Where as the weighted method includes all the costs from preceeding department and also current costs.</em>
