To strengthen its manufacturing base in the future.
Answer:
$5,120
Explanation:
Workers are paid $12,800 per week (five days), since December 31 fell on a Tuesday, accrued wages payable will be equal to the wages proportional to two days:
= ($12,800 per week / 5 days per week) x 2 days = $2,560 per days x 2 days = $5,120
The appropriate journal entry should be:
December 31st, wages payable:
Dr Wages expense 5,120
Cr Accrued wages payable 5,120
Answer:
A, B.
Explanation:
A is relevant as the 400-pound remaining can be sold at market price after the special order
B is relevant as the whole 5,500 can be sold at market price instead of the special order
C is irrelevant as the cost has already been uncured
D is irrelevant
Answer:
It is convenient to make the changes.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $57.60 per unit.
Direct materials= $22
Direct labor= $24
Variable overhead= $11.00
Fixed overhead= $11.00.
New costs:
Direct material cost= 22*1.2= $26.4
Direct labor cost= 24*1.2= $28.8
<u>I suppose that the selling price will increase by $40.</u>
To determine whether the changes increase profit or not, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin per unit for both options:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Actual Contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 57.6 - (22 - 24 - 11)= 0.6
New contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 97.60 - (26.4 - 28.8 - 11)= $31.4
Answer:
b. Horizontal merger.
Explanation:
Project Repat is merging with a company that produces similar products to its own markets them in similar markets as well, this is an example of a horizontal merger that results in increased synergies between the similar firms and a greater market share opportunity.
Vertical mergers are usually not in the same industry. They would either be with the suppliers of Project Repat or customers who retail Project Repat's products.
Conglomerate is an example of diversification and usually the merging firms have different operations.
There are no information of clashes of any sort within the two merging companies so it is uncertain whether this is a hostile takeover.
Hope that helps.
