L Corporation produces and sells 15,300 units of Product X each month. The selling price of Product X is $23 per unit, and varia

ble expenses are $17 per unit. A study has been made concerning whether Product X should be discontinued. The study shows that $74,000 of the $103,000 in monthly fixed expenses charged to Product X would not be avoidable even if the product was discontinued. If Product X is discontinued, the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company of eliminating this product should be:

Answer:

<em><u>It would generate a financial disadvantage for 62,800</u></em>

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-&continued&discontinued&differential\\Sales&351,900&0&-351,900\\Variable&-260,100&0&260,100\\Contribution&91,800&0&-91,800\\Fixed&-103,000&-74,000&29,000\\total&-11,200&-74,000&-62,800\\\end{array}\right]

It would generate a financial disadvantage for 62,800

Because the product, while is having a loss, their contribution cover is enought to cover at least the avoidable fixed cost.

allochka39001 [22]

Answer: The amount of depreciation expense recognized in 2006, using the double declining balance method is $5,280.

And the journal entries required are:

Debit Depreciation expense                     $5,280

Credit Accumulated depreciation             $5,280

Explanation: The double-declining method is otherwise known as reducing balance method. It is usually derived by using the formula below:

Double-declining depreciation = 2 X SLDP X BV

Where SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

           BV = Book value of the asset (Cost minus depreciation)

So using the straight-line depreciation method, we need to remove the salvage value from the cost and then divided by 5 years. That is, ($22,000 - $4,000) / 5 years = $3,060 yearly depreciation expense.

However, under the double-declining method, we need to divide the 100% by the useful life of the asset first to get the SLDP then multiply by 2, that is, 100%/5 years = 20% x 2 = 40%.

So 40% x $22,000 in year 1 (December 31, 2005) is $8,800

In year 2 (December 31, 2006), 40% x $13,200 ($22,000 - $8,800) = $5,280 and so on. The depreciation expense would stop immediately it falls below the salvage value of $4,000.

So the book value of the asset at the end of year 2 is $7,920 ($13,200 - $4,000 accumulated depreciation).

SummerSnowman Industries' last dividend was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 15.0% for 3 years, aft
matrenka [14]

Answer:

$33.50

Explanation:

we can use the perpetual growth model to determine the price of the stock

the firm's stock price = ($1.25 x 1.15)/1.11 + ($1.25 x 1.15²)/1.11² + ($1.25 x 1.15³)/1.11³ + [($1.25 x 1.15³ x 1.06)/(11% - 6%)]/1.11³

the stock price in 3 years = ($1.25 x 1.15³ x 1.06)/(11% - 6%) = $40.30

the firm's stock price = ($1.25 x 1.15)/1.11 + ($1.25 x 1.15²)/1.11² + ($1.25 x 1.15³)/1.11³ + $40.30/1.11³ = $1.30 + $1.34 + $1.39 + $29.47 = $33.50

Explain the difference between fixed and variable costs and give two examples of each. Can a company budget for variable costs?
galben [10]

Answer:

Fixed cost in an organization does not change and is fixed while the variable cost keep changing if the production is increased.

Explanation:

Fixed cost are said to be that cost which does not change with production level for a certain limit. Let us suppose there is no change in the rent amount if we have only factory for the production of goods.

But the variable cost are those cost which increases as production increases. More will be the variable cost when the production will be more. Also for per unit basis, the variable cost remains the same.

Fixed cost are not important in decision making if there is an excess of capacity available.

For example,

Direct labor, direct material -- variable cost

Salary of supervisor, rent of factory -- fixed cost

Even though there is not much change in the variable cost, like for suppose material price increases, a company can still make a budget that is based on the past experience and predicting the market prices. Similarly, if there is a machine that uses three units of direct material for a piece if finished product, which is not going to change in the future. Thus the company can make a budget.
