Wholemark is an Internet order business that sells one popular New Year greeting card once a year. The cost of the paper on whic

h the card is printed is $0.40 per card, and the cost of printing is $0.10 per card. The company receives $3.75 per card sold. Since the cards have the current year printed on them, unsold cards have no salvage value. Their customers are from the four areas: Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Hollywood, and Pasadena. Based on past data, the number of customers from each of the four regions is normally distributed with mean 2,300 and standard deviation 200. (Assume these four are independent.)

Answer:

9644

Explanation:

cost of paper on which a card is printed = $0.40 per card

cost of printing = $0.10 per card

profit made per card sold = $3.75

number of areas where customers are located (n)= 4

mean of customers from each region = 2300

standard deviation for each region = 200

note : each region is independent

The optimal production quantity for the card can be calculated going through these steps

first we determine

the cost of card = $0.10 + $0.40 = $0.50

selling value = $3.75

salvage value = 0

next we calculate for the z value

= ( selling value - cost of card) /  ( selling price - salvage value )

= ( 3.75 - 0.50 ) / 3.75  = 0.8667

Z( 0.8667 ) = 1.110926 ( using excel formula : NORMSINV ( 0.8667 )

next we calculate

<em>u</em> = n * mean demand

  = 4 *  2300 = 9200

б = 200\sqrt{n} = 200 * 2

  = 400

Hence optimal production quantity for the card

= <em>u</em> + Z (0.8667 ) * б

= 9200 + 1.110926 * 400

= 9644.3704

≈ 9644

Andrews [41]

Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

When a company makes sales on account, debit accounts receivable and credit sales. Based on assessment, some or all of the receivables may be uncollectible.  

To account for this, debit bad debit expense and credit allowance for doubtful debt. Should the debt become uncollectible (i.e go bad), debit allowance for doubtful debt and credit accounts receivable.

However, in the direct writeoff method, estimates of uncollectible receivables are posted directly into the accounts receivable and not into the allowance account.

The amount in the accounts receivable before write off

= $150,000 - $83,000

= $67,000

Amount written of is $20,000, this will be posted as a debit to bad debt expense and a credit to accounts receivable.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

An asset exchange transaction which increases the cost of the purchased merchandise.

The firm gives the transportation company money (which is an asset) and since the transportation costs are included in the cost of the merchandise, the firm is paying a fraction of the cost of the asset.

When you are calculating the purchase cost of goods you must include the price of the goods, transportation costs, and any other associated expense like insurance costs and import fees, etc.

Transportation costs are only included in the COGS when the firm acquires the goods, but when the firm sells the goods, any distribution cost is not included under production costs, instead they are included under the sales costs.
