joja [24]

Answer:

Appliance Possible Inc. (AP)

a) Flexible Budgets for productions level:

i) Production level of 90,000 units:

Unit variable cost = $13 $(7+4+2)

Total Variable Costs = 90,000 x $13 = $1,170,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,395,000

ii) Production level of 105,000 units:

Total Variable costs = 105,000 x $13 = $1,365,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,590,000

iii) Production level of 120,000 units:

Total Variable costs = 120,000 x $13 = $1,560,000

Fixed Costs = $225,000

Total Costs = $1,785,000

b) If AP sells the toaster ovens for $18 each, to make a profit of $309,000 before taxes, units to be sold are:

Break-even Point + Target Profit =  (Fixed Cost + Target Profit)/Contribution per unit

Contribution per unit = $18 - $13 = $5

= ($225,000 + $309,000)/ $5

= $534,000/$5

= 106,800 units

Explanation:

a) A flexible budget tries to change the level of output.  It is a technique used to assess performance under different volumes or activities.  It helps management to make the right decisions, given the fact that different levels of activity may call for different cost and revenue reflections.

b) To make a target profit, the fixed cost is added to the target profit and divided by the unit contribution.  This produces the number of units to be sold in order to achieve the target profit.

c) Contribution is the difference between the selling value and the variable costs.  It is the element that covers fixed costs and generates profit before taxes.

Indiana Co. bega n a construction project in 2018 with a contract price of $150 million to receive when the project completed in
Liula [17]

Answer: C) Recognized $9 million gross profit on the project in 2018.

Explanation:

Duration of construction project from 2018 to 2020 = 3 years

Cost incurred by Indiana co. in 2018 = $36 million

Estimated additional cost for the remainder of the project = $84 million

Total cost to be incurred over the duration of the project = $36 million + $84 million = $120 million

To calculate the percentage of the project completed, we use the cost figures;

Cost incurred so far (in 2018) ÷ Total cost to be incurred × 100

36,000,000/ 120,000,000 × 100 = 30%

Total revenue from contract (which is the contract price) = $150 million

Indiana Co. recognizes revenue according to the percentage of the project completed. Therefore, revenue recognized after 30% of the project is completed (which is the revenue for 2018) = 30% of $150,000,000

Revenue for 2018 = 30/100 × 150,000,000 = $45,000,000

Profit recognized on the project in 2018 = Revenue for 2018 - Cost incurred in 2018

Profit = $45,000,000 - $36,000,000

Gross profit recognized in 2018 = $9,000,000

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $12 per unit and whose variable expense is $1
brilliants [131]

Answer:

  1. 1200 BEPunits
  2. $14,400 BEP dollars
  3. second scenario
  •      1200 BEPunits
  • $14,400 BEP dollars

Explanation:

\frac{Fixed Cost}{contribution margin}  = BEPunits

contribution margin = Sales - Variable Cost

12 - 10 = 2 contribution margin

fixed expenses = 2,400

BEP = 2,400/2 = 1,200 units

<u>Resuming: </u>each unit contributes with $2 dollars therefore it needs to sale  1,200 untis to pay the fixed cost.

units x sales price = sales revenue

1,200 x 12 =  14,400 BEP in Dollars

Also it is posible to get this by using contribution margin ratio

in the BEP formula:

\frac{Fixed Cost}{Contribution Margin Ratio} = BEPdollars

contribution margin/sales price = 2/12 = 1/6

fixed cost /contribution margin ratio = 2,400/(1/6) = 14,400

Scenario were fixed cost increase:

increase in fixed/contribution margin + previous BEP = BEPunits

increase in fixed/contribution margin ratio + previous BEP = BEPdollars

600 fixed cost /contribution margin = 600/2 = 300 more units to our prevous 1,200 total of 1,500

600 fixed cost /contribution margin ratio = 600/(1/6) = $3,600 more sales revenue to our prevous 14,400 total of 18,000
