5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The statement "There is no free lunch" means that no product is made for free. Production of any good or service requires resources. These resources are scarce and have alternative uses. So in order to produce any goods or services limited resources are used and its alternative uses are sacrificed.

irina [24]

Relevant Information:

The relevant information is as under:

Segmented income statements appear as follows:

Product                                    Original  Strawberry  Orange

Sales                                     65,200   85,600          102,400

Variable costs                     (44,000)   (77,200)  (80,200)

Contribution margin              21,200     8,400    22,200

Fixed costs allocated                (9,400)    (12,000)   (14,200)

Operating profit (loss)       11,800      (3,600)      8,000  

Answer:

The product not be closed because it is generating net cash flows of ($3,060), which will generate loss for the organization. The better option would be to not abandoning the manufacturing of Strawberry.

Explanation:

Relevant costing says that any savings or losses are relevant if it satisfy following three conditions:

  1. Is a cash flow.
  2. Future related (Not arising due to Past bindings).
  3. Differential or Incremental in nature.

Its crystal clear that any inflows and outflows that are considered would be cash in nature, not related to past events it must be arising as a consequence of taking the decision whose consequences are we considering now, I mean it must arise in future due to the decision made which are considering. The last condition is the concept of differential that lies in the heart of relevant costing and is easily understood by following the following steps:

Step 1: What are the losses or savings if we don't make decision?

Step 2: What are the losses or savings if we make the decision?

Step 3: The difference between step one and two is differential or incremental cost.

Here we learned that relevant cost arises if we take the decision (closing manufacturing of Strawberry), and it doesn't arises if we don't take the decision (not abandoning manufacturing of  Strawberry).

Relevant costs associated with the decision are as under:

                                                    Step 1              Step 2        Step 3

                                            Make Decision    If we Don't Differential

Revenue loss                             (85,600)               -          (85,600)

Variable Costs Savings              77,200                 -            77,200

Fixed costs Savings (W1)             5340                   -              5340

Operating Profit                                                                   (3,060)

Working1: Fixed costs Savings

Total Fixed costs =21400+12000+14200 = $35,600

The saving is 15% of the total fixed cost and is as under:

Fixed costs Savings = $35,600 * 15% = $5340

Aces, Inc., a manufacturer of tennis rackets, began operations this year. The company produced 6,000 rackets and sold 4,900. At
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$165,500

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales (4,900 × $90) = $ 441,000

Cost of goods sold (4,900 × $38) = 186,200

Gross margin = $ 254,800

Selling and administrative expenses = $75,000

Net income = $ 179,800

Production costs per tennis racket total = $38

Variable production cost = $25

Fixed production cost = $13

Units produced = 6,000

Contribution margin:

= Sales - Variable production costs

= $441,000 - (4,900 × 25)

= $441,000 - $122,500

= $318,500

Fixed costs = Fixed production costs + Selling and administrative expenses

                   = ($13 × 6,000) + $75,000

                   = $78,000 + $75,000

                   = $153,000

Net income under variable costing:

= Contribution margin - Fixed costs

= $318,500 - $153,000

= $165,500
