Answer:

Add $45 to the book balance.

Explanation:

This is a transposition error which is an example of error of original entry. A transposition error occurs when the figures are posted in the wrong order, while an error original entry occurs when a wrong amount is entered into the right account. This kind of error usually causes discrepancy between the bank balance and the book balance.

To correct this error in the question, we first find the difference between the right amount and the wrong amount as follows:

Difference = Right amount – Wrong amount = $272 - $227 = $45

Therefore, the difference of $45 will be added to the book balance to bring it into an agreement with the bank treatment as follows:

Bank correct treatment = $272

New book treatment = Wrong amount + Difference = $227 + $45 = $272  

It can now be seen that both posting are now in agreement after the correction.

Paul [167]

Answer:

Jenkins Manufacturing

Joe should produce using the new equipment.

Explanation:

a) Costs incurred using the old equipment:

Variable costs = $45,000 ($50 x 900)

Fixed costs = $40,000

Total costs = $85,000

Operating Loss = $22,000 ($63,000 - 85,000)

b) Costs incurred using the new equipment:

Variable costs = $22,500 ($25 x 900)

Fixed costs = $60,000

Total costs = $82,500

Operating Loss = $19,500 ($63,000 - 82,500)

Production using the new equipment would reduce the operating loss by $2,500.

AudioCables, Inc., is currently manufacturing an adapter that has a variable cost of $0.50 per unit and a selling price of $1.40
Sedaia [141]

Answer: Yes. AudioCable should buy a new equipment

Explanation:

Audiocables Inc. without new equipment:

Selling price: $1.40

Variable cost: $0.50

Fixed cost: $14,000

Sales: 30000 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $14000 + ($0.50 × 30000)

= $14000 + $15000

= $29000

Revenue = Sales × Selling price

= 30000 × $1.40

= $42000

Profit = Revenue - Total Cost

= $42000 - $29000

= $13000

Audiocables Inc. with new equipment:

Selling price: $1.40

Variable cost: $0.60

Fixed cost: $14,000 + $6000 = $20000

Sales: 50000 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $20000 + ($0.60 × 50000)

= $20000 + $30000

= $50000

Revenue = Sales × Selling price

= 50000 × $1.40

= $70000

Profit = Revenue - Total Cost

= $70000 - $50000

= $20000

From the calculations made, AudioCable buy a new equipment as profit generated is more.
