Answer: The amount invested in the dogwood tree was $5000, while $35000 was invested in the red maple tree.

We arrive at the answer as follows:

Let the proportion of dogwood trees be x.

Then the proportion of red maple trees in the nursery will be 1-x, since there are only two types of trees in the nursery.

We use the following formula to find the proportion dogwood and maple trees in the nursery:

20 = 27x + 19(1-x)

Solving for x we get

20 = 27x + 19 - 19x

x = \frac{1}{8}

We can find the proportion of maple trees as follows:

1 - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{7}{8}

Since we have the proportions, we can easily find the amount invested in type of tree as follows:

Dogwood = 40000*\frac{1}{8} = 5000

Red Maple tree = 40000*\frac{7}{8} = 35000

The management of Kabanuck Corporation is considering dropping product V41B. Data from the company's accounting system appear be
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

$191,500

Explanation:

If the item is not dropped:

Loss = Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed manufacturing expenses - Fixed selling and administrative expenses

       = $923,000 - $405,500 - $337,000 - $244,000

       = (63,500) loss

Fixed mfg. expenses remaining:

= Fixed manufacturing expenses - Avoidable Fixed manufacturing expenses

= $337,000 - $207,500

= $129,500

Fixed selling and administrative expenses remaining:

= Fixed selling and administrative expenses - Avoidable Fixed selling and administrative expenses

= $244,000 - $118,500

= $125,500

Loss in expenses remaining if item is dropped :

= Fixed mfg. expenses remaining + Fixed selling and administrative expenses remaining

= $129,500 + $125,500

= ($255,000)

Overall net operating income would decrease by:

= Loss in expenses remaining if item is dropped - Loss in expenses if item is not dropped

= $255,000 - $63,500

= $191,500
