REY [17]

Answer:

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

Explanation:

The company is currently selling 5,000 units per month at $150 per unit, and its total variable costs are $90 per unit.

Fixed expenses are $243,000 per month.

Current income statement:

sales revenue =                    $750,000

minus variable costs =         ($450,000)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($243,000)  </u>

net income =                           $57,000

If the company increases its advertising budget be $11,000 it should sell 180 more units per month, the new income statement would be:

sales revenue =                    $777,000

minus variable costs =         ($466,200)

<u>minus fixed costs =              ($254,000)  </u>

net income =                           $56,800

If the company decides to increase its advertising budget, its net profits will  decrease by $200 (= $56,800 - $57,000).

Breezy Company is disposing of equipment that was originally purchased for $550,000 and has $145,000 of accumulated depreciation
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

$405,000

Explanation:

The calculation of total amount is shown below:-

If the company disposes of the equipment to buy the new equipment, the sunk cost will be the old equipment's book value.

Sunk cost = Book value of the old Equipment

Sunk cost = Cost of equipment - Accumulated Depreciation

= $550,000 - $145,000

= $405,000

Therefore for computing the sunk cost we simply deduct the accumulated Depreciation from cost of equipment

To assign overhead costs to each product, the company:_____.
mina [271]

Answer:

a. multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

Explanation:

Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.

Generally, an activity-based costing uses multiple cost pools such as manufacturing cost or customer services and multiple cost drivers such as direct labor hours worked, number of changes used in engineering department, etc.

Cost pool is simply the amount of money spent by a firm on a particular activity.

Hence, to assign overhead costs to each product, the company multiplies the activity-based overhead rates per cost driver by the number of cost drivers expected to be used per product.

In activity-based costing, the activity rate for an activity cost pool is calculated by using the following formula;

Activity rate = total overhead cost/activity for the activity cost pool.
