Bain Corporation makes and sells state-of-the-art electronics products. One of its segments produces The Math Machine, an inexpe

nsive calculator. The company’s chief accountant recently prepared the following income statement showing annual revenues and expenses associated with the segment’s operating activities. The relevant range for the production and sale of the calculators is between 30,000 and 60,000 units per year.Revenue (40,000 units × $10.80) $ 432,000 Unit-level variable costs Materials cost (40,000 × $2.70) (108,000 )Labor cost (40,000 × $1.20) (48,000 )Manufacturing overhead (40,000 × $1.20) (48,000 )Shipping and handling (40,000 × $0.30) (12,000 )Sales commissions (40,000 × $1.20) (48,000 )Contribution margin 168,000 Fixed expenses Advertising costs (24,000 )Salary of production supervisor (72,000 )Allocated company wide facility-level expenses (96,000 )Net loss $ (24,000 )Requireda. A large discount store has approached the owner of Bain about buying 5,000 calculators. It would replace The Math Machine’s label with its own logo to avoid affecting Bain’s existing customers. Because the offer was made directly to the owner, no sales commissions on the transaction would be involved, but the discount store is willing to pay only $6.60 per calculator. Calculate the contribution margin from the special order. Based on quantitative factors alone, should Bain accept the special order?b-1. Bain has an opportunity to buy the 40,000 calculators it currently makes from a reliable competing manufacturer for $6.72 each. The product meets Bain’s quality standards. Bain could continue to use its own logo, advertising program, and sales force to distribute the products. Should Bain buy the calculators or continue to make them?b-2. Calculate the total cost for Bain to make and buy the 40,000 calculators.b-3. Should Bain buy the calculators or continue to make them, if the volume of sales were increased to 60,000 units?c. Because the calculator division is currently operating at a loss, should it be eliminated from the company’s operations? Support your answer with appropriate computations. Specifically, by what amount would the segment’s elimination increase or decrease profitability?

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

<u>Part a: </u>                                                                            

Revenue  5000 multiply 6.6   33000            

Unit Level Variable Cost:        

Material Cost  5000 multiply 2.7   -13500    

Labor Cost  5000 multiply 1.2   -6000    

Manufacturing Cost  5000 multiply 1.2   -6000    

Shipping and Handling  5000 multiply 0.3   -1500    

Sales Commission    0    

Contribution Margin    6000            

Should be accepted as it will increase profitability by $6000          

Part b1&b2:                                 Cost to Make  Cost to Buy          

Material Cost                40000*2.7  108000      

Labor Cost                40000*1.2  48000      

Manufacturing Cost  40000*1.2  48000      

Prod Supervisor Salary             72000      

Purchase Cost  40000*6.72               0  268800          

Total Cost                               276000  268800          

Should purchase from outside as cost is lower than making it      

Part b3:        

                                          Cost to Make  Cost to Buy            

Material Cost  60000 multiply 2.7     162000      

Labor Cost  60000 multiply1.2             72000      

Manufacturing Cost  60000*1.2  72000      

Prod Supervisor Salary             72000        72000    

Purchase Cost  60000*6.72              0           403200            

Total Cost                             378000        475200            

Should make in house as cost is lower            

Part c:  It should not be eliminated.              

Elimination will decrease profitability by $72000 which is being allocated company wide facility exp.  Before Allocation, actual profit is (168000-24000-72000)=$72000    

Loss is because of allocation of facility expenese, which will be allocated on other segment.

The bundle that is going to maximize profit is going to be Late

<h3>How to find the bundle that would maximize profit</h3>

we have the net profit from early to be 7 + 5 = 12

We have the net profit from late to 6 + 10 = 16

We can see that the value for late is greater at 16 compared to that of the early.

Hence we can say that late has the greatest profit.

Next we have to solve for the profit that is made. This is the net profit.

The solution is given as 16 - 12 = 4

Greenwell Farm Equipment sells a tractor to Farmer for $130,000 on January​ 1, 2019. The tractor is delivered that day. Greenwel
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Present value of interest is $5,062 and future value is $5,796        

Explanation:

The formula for finding the Present value of the interest reported as revenue is calculated as under:

Present Value of $40,000 receivable in 2 years = $40,000 / (1+7%)^2

Present Value of $40,000 receivable in 2 years = $34,938

The difference of the future value receivable and present value of the future amount receivable is the interest's present value which is given as under:

Interest Present value = $40,000 - $34,938 = $5,062

Using the compounding formula, the future value of the interest that will be recorded in the financial statement will be = $5,062 * (1 + 7%)^2 years

Future value of interest = $5796

Although Costco pays its employees substantially more than its closest competitor, Sam’s Club, it has similar financial returns
yuradex [85]

Although Costco pays its employees substantially more than its closest competitor, Sam’s Club, it has similar financial returns on its labor costs due to lower turnover and higher levels of productivity

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

While Costco costs its workers slightly more than its closest competitor, Sam's Club, Costco pays higher prices in order to recruit more professionals and to provide better customer service due to lower turnover and a similar financial return.

Direct costs involve wages for staff making a product and employees on the production line, while indirect costs apply to assistance, such as employees repairing factory equipment.

When labor costs are wrongly distributed or measured, the price of goods or services may be changed from their actual costs and profits from losses.
