Carnegie used vertical integration to reduce competition and make his business more profitable Vertical Integration was incorporated into everything from mining the ore and coal, to shipping it to the factories, and etc. With the flow from one business to another Carnegie was able to protect the profit made by keeping it all in a sort of cycle formation within the family. This prevented competitor companies from being able to cut down availability on the market as well as raising prices on the stock.

NB: See the workings below see the assumption mad to allocate common expenses since none is given in the question.

Variable selling exp. (w1.) (38,800) (124,000) (162,800)

Contribution margin 471,200 1,346,000 1,817,200

Common fixed overh. (w2a) (176,077) (623,923) (800,000)

Common S $ Admn ex (w2b) (107,248) (342,752) (450,000)

Segment Net Income (loss)  (118,125)   92,325   (25,800) 

Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

pentagon [3]

Answer:

the current stock of the value today is $25

Explanation:

The computation of the current stock of the value today is shown below:

Next year dividend D1 = $3

growth rate g =6% forever

rate of return = 18%

So,

Current Stock Price P = D1 ÷ (r - g)

=3 ÷ (18% - 6%)

= 3 ÷ 12%

= 3 ÷ 0.12

= $25

Hence, the current stock of the value today is $25

Manufacturing cost data for Orlando Company, which uses a job order cost system, are presented below. Indicate the missing amoun

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

a= 54796

h= 80,824

d=117916

i=67915.68

e=$ 352196

b= 58,800

f= 373496

j= 234500

c= 15100

k= 1900

g=3721596

Explanation:

Orlando Company

Manufacturing Cost Data

Case A Case B Case C

Direct materials used (a) $91,200 $69,000

a=149,800 - 42,804- 52,200 54796

Direct labor 52,200 143,800 (h)

$69,000 +x+0.82h= 216100

1.82h= 216100-69000

h= 147100/1.82= 80,824 80,824

Manufacturing overhead applied 42,804 (d) (i)

d=82% of 143,800=117916 117916

i=82% of 80824 = 67915.68 67915.68

Total manufacturing costs 149,800 (e) 216,100

e=$91,200+ 143,800+ 117916 352196

Work in process 1/1/14 (b) 21,300 18,400

b=208,600- 149,800 58,800

Total cost of work in process 208,600 (f) (j)

f=352196+ 21,300 373496

j=216,100 + 18,400 234500

Work in process 12/31/14 (c) 11,900 (k)

c=208,600 - 193,500 15100

k=234500 -232,600 1900

Cost of goods manufactured 193,500 (g) 232,600

g=373496- 11,900 3721596

The formulas used are given below.

Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Factory Overheads

Total cost of work in process= Total manufacturing costs+ Opening Work in process

Cost of goods manufactured= Total cost of work in process - Closing Work in process

In each of these if two amounts are known we can find the third one.We can also do rearrange these to find the required amounts.The calculation of each of the missing amount has been done next to it.
