Answer:

1. Contribution Margin per production hour

Product X = $12, Product Y = $15

2. Allocate all production capacity to product Y to generate $60,000 contribution

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate The Contribution margin Per Production Hour

Product X,

= Contribution Margin per unit = $6

Number of Unit Produced in 1 hour= 2

Contrbution Per 1 Hour = $6 x 2 = $12

Product Y,

= Contribution Margin per unit = $5

Number of Unit Produced per  hour= 3 units

Contrbution Per  Hour = $5 x 3 = $15

Step 2: Calculate the Most Profitable Sales Mix

Option 1: Allocate all production capacity to product x

Number of Hours available = 4000 hours

Total Contribution = Contribution on hourly basis x total number of hours

Total Contribution = 12 x 4000= $48,000

Option 2: Allocate all production capacity to product Y

Number of Hours available = 4000 hours

Total Contribution = Contribution on hourly basis x total number of hours

Total Contribution = 15 x 4000= $60,000

Option 3: Allocate 40% of Capacity to Product X

Hours of total hours for product X = 40% x 4000 = 1600

Hours of toal hours for Product Y = 60% x 4000= 2400

Contribution therefore:

X= 12 x 1600= $19,200

Y= 15 x 2400= $36,000

Total Mix= $55,200

Option 4: Allocate 24% of Capacity to Product Y

Hours of total hours for product X = 76% x 4000 = 3040

Hours of toal hours for Product Y = 24% x 4000= 960

Contribution therefore:

X= 12 x 3040= $36,480

Y= 15 x 960= $14,400

Total Mix= $50,880

The Most Profitable Sales Mix is to allocate all Capacity to Product Y to generate $60,000

Semenov [28]

Answer: Option C - Assets are Overstated; No effects on liabilities: Equity is Overstated

Explanation:

When Bad debts are recorded, they will reduce the Accounts Receivable account because less money will be expected from debtors. Accounts Receivable is an asset account so it will be Overstated if bad debts are not recorded.

Equity will also be overstated because bad debts is an expense that is sent to the Income statement. If this expense is not deducted, the net income will be larger than it should be and when added to Equity it will overstate it.
