JTM Ltd incurs costs of $16 per unit ($12 variable, $4 fixed) for a widget it sells for $22. JTM has received two special offers

: Firm A wants 10,000 units and Firm B wants 14,000 units. Both firms will sell the widgets for $17, and JTM has capacity to produce 12,000 additional units. From a cost perspective, what is the main difference between these two offers?

Answer:

We must analyze the potential benefits of choosing one order or the other one:

Current JTM costs:

  • $12 variable per unit
  • $4 fixed per unit

If JTM accepts Firm A's order its fixed costs will not vary and it will be able to increase its profits by: ($17 - $12) x 10,000 = $50,000

Since JTM doesn't have the capacity to fulfill Firm B's order with their current cost structure, if it decides to take it, its variable or fixed costs (we don't know which) will probably increase, so its contribution margin will no longer be $5, as with Firm A's order, but will probably be lower. We are not told by how much the costs would increase.

The third alternative is to accept Firm B's offer and not sell 2,000 units through its normal distribution channels, but that would result in an increase in profits but also loss of normal profits:

($5 x 14,000 units) - ($6 x 2,000 units for the lost normal profits) = $70,000 -  $12,000 = $58,000. If JTM is able to cancel the sale of 2,000 units, then Firm B's offer would increase its profits by $58,000, $8,000 more than Firm A's order, but it depends on its ability to cancel or not the normal sales.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Childress Company

Orders for K1 should be filled first.

Orders for G9 should be filled second.

Orders for S5 should be filled third.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                               K1            S5           G9

Direct materials per unit (pounds)       4.9           2.4           5.4

Materials available for production = 58,400

Selling price                                      $ 167.40  $ 99.28  $ 210.02

Variable costs                                       89.00     76.00      149.00

Contribution margin per unit           $  78.40  $ 23.28   $   61.02

Contribution margin per pound         $16          $9.70       $11.30

Orders for K1 should be filled first

Orders for G9 should be filled second

Orders for S5 should be filled third.

b) This order filling sequence will maximize the contribution margin per pound, ensuring the highest efficient use of the limited materials available for production.

When a company owner practices price discrimination, the marginal revenue of an extra unit sold.
Kamila [148]

When a business owner uses price discrimination, the marginal revenue curve and the market demand curve are in line, therefore the marginal revenue is the same as the product's price.

The additional money made by selling one more unit of output is known as marginal revenue. The law of diminishing returns eventually leads marginal revenue to start dropping as output level grows, even though it can stay constant at a certain level of output.

The incremental cost or profit made when producing the following item is referred to as marginal. While marginal cost is the additional expense for producing one extra unit, marginal product is the increased revenue.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

$(123,000) + $(29,000)= $(152,000)

Explanation:

Discontinued operations are those operations of segment of a company where a formal plan exists to eliminate it from the company.

The revenues, gains, expenses, and losses pertaining to the discounting business segment are removed from the company's continuing operations and are reported separately on the company's income statement.

Hence, operating loss of $ 123,000 and impairment loss of $ 29,000 will separately be reported on income statement of the company.

Future estimated operating losses do not become part of the income statement.

Several years ago, Castles in the Sand Inc. issued bonds at face value of $1,000 at a yield to maturity of 6.2%. Now, with 6 yea
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The price of the bond is $659.64.

Explanation:

C = coupon payment = $62.00 (Par Value * Coupon Rate)

n = number of years = 6

i = market rate, or required yield = 15 = 0.15  = 0.15 /2  = 0.075

k = number of coupon payments in 1 year = 2

P = value at maturity, or par value = $1000

BOND PRICE= C/k [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + i )^nk ) / i ] + [ P / ( 1 + i )^nk )]

BOND PRICE= 62/2 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 0.075 )^6x2 )]

BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]

BOND PRICE= 31 [ 1 - ( 1 / ( 1.075 )^12 ) / 0.075 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.075 )^12 )]

BOND PRICE= $239.79 + $419.85 = $659.64
