Answer:

c)$3,000 decrease

Explanation:

The sales less the variable cost gives the contribution margin. The contribution margin less the fixed cost gives the net operating income.

Considering the data given with respect to the special order, the net income would be equal to the sales less the additional cost which are variable and fixed.

net profit/(loss) from order

= 1000 ($15 - $5 - $12 - $1)

= ($3000)

Answer:

a)$2,000 increase

Explanation:

As fixed cost is the irrelevant expense in the decision making for the special order. It is avoidable cost.

Special Order

Quantity 1000 scales

Price                            $15 per sale

Less: Variable cost     $12 per sale

Less: Shipping cost    $1 per sale

Contribution margin   $2 per scale

Total Contribution margin = 1,000 scales x $2 per scale = $2,000

Net Income will increase by $2,000 if the special order is accepted.

At the end of Year 2, retained earnings for the Baker Company was $3,350. Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 was $3,600, ex
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 is $2,950.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Retained earnings at the end of Year 2 = $3,350

Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 = $3,600

Expenses paid during the period = $1,900

Dividends paid during the period = $1,300

Retained earning for year 2 = Revenue earned by the company in Year 2 - Expenses paid during the period - Dividends paid during the period = $3,600 - $1,900 - $1,300 = $400

Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 can be using the following formula:

Retained earnings at the end of Year 2 = Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 + Retained earning for year 2 .......... (1)

Substituting the values into equation (1) and sole for Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2, we have:

$3,350 = Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 + $400

Retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 = $3,350 - $400 = $2,950

Therefore, retained earnings at the beginning of Year 2 is $2,950.
