Anna71 [15]

Answer:

time take = 13 months

so correct option is C.)13

Explanation:

given data

closing costs = $1,400

monthly payment reduce = $980 to $870

to find out

Time to cover cost

solution

we know here monthly payments after reduction will be

monthly payments = $980 - $870

monthly payments = $110

so

time taken is = \frac{closing\ costs}{monthly\ payments}  .........1

time taken is = \frac{1400}{110}

time take is = 12.727273

time take = 13 months

so correct option is C.)13

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $21 per unit and whose variable expense is $1
Grace [21]

Answer:

1. Break even points in units will be =  2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

Explanation:

Break even point = \frac{Fixed Cost}{Contribution per unit}

Fixed Cost = $8,100

Contribution per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost = $21 - $18 = $3

1. Break even points in units will be

= \frac{8,100}{3} = 2,700 units.

2. Break-even point in dollar sales

= Break even point in units X Sale price per unit

= 2,700 units X $21 = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales

= \frac{8,100 + 600}{3} = 2,900 units

Final Answer

1. Break even points in units will be =  2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

US Apparel (USA) manufactures plain white and solid-colored T-shirts. Budgeted inputs include the following
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

B)  $118076

C)  The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset

Explanation:

<u>A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye </u>

Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000

Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3

Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000

Fine = $130,000

hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine

<u>B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing </u>

<em>condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%</em>

Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months

= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12

= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12  = $600,000

Applying kaizen costing

Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4

          Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000

Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]

Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61

difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924

with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076  i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = <em>$118076 </em>

C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials

while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
