Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

1.  Received an order for 1,000 units

Cost per unit = $46

now

Incremental revenue per widget = $43

Incremental cost per widget: =( Direct material + Direct Labor + Vairable manufacturing overhead) =

$7 + ($15 × 2) + $4 = 41

Incremental profit per unit = 43 - 41 = $2

Total incremental profit = $2 × 1,000 = $2,000

Kasten can make an extra $2,000

2.  Cost to buy per widget = $39

Cost to make per widget: = ( Direct material + Direct Labor + Vairable manufacturing overhead) =

$7 + ($15 × 2) + $4 = 41

Incremental savings per widget if purchased =41 - 39 = $2

Total incremental savings if purchased = $2 × 10,000 = $20,000

Thus we can say  Kasten will save $20,000 if it buys instead of makes

Aliun [14]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

(a) December 1     Cash             Debit    $18,000

                        Unearned revenue      Credit    $18,000

<em>Note: The company received the money in advance for a contract to do during December to April. Therefore, they received cash while a liability increased due to receiving advance money.</em>
