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.

LO 2.1Explain how the income statement of a manufacturing company differs from the income statement of a merchandising company.
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Revenue: The revenue of Manufacturing company comes from the sale of the products that they manufacture. However the merchandising company purchases goods from manufacturing companies and distribute them to make it easier for the customer to access the product and earn a profit on it which increases the cost of the product to end consumer. The contract between the manufacturing and merchandising company can be an agreement of principal and agent. In this case, the revenue for the merchandising company would be commission earned from manufacturing company. This commission paid to merchandising company will be cost to manufacturing company.

Cost of Sale: Now the raw material costs plus depreciation of production machinery plus direct labour plus variable Overhead cost plus if their is any commission paid for sale of finished goods will be the cost of sale for manufacturing  company. Whereas in the case of Merchandising company, the cost of sale will be only the cost of goods they sold in the year. The depreciation charge will be minor in merchandising company as they don't have any production machineries.

These the are major difference between manufacturing and merchandising company.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Debit cash $7800

Credit unearned revenue $7800
