Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

find the selling price per pound of a coffee mixture made from 8 pounds of coffee that sells fo $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

$6.98 per pound

Explanation:

The computation of the selling price per pound is shown below:

As we know that

8 pounds of coffee sells for $9.20 per pound which equal to

= 8 pounds × $9.20 per pound

= $73.6

And, 12 pounds of coffee is for $5.50 per pound which equal to

= 12 pounds × $5.50 per pound

= $66

The total value would be

= $73.6 + $66

= $139.60

And, the total number of pounds would be

= 8 pound + 12 pound

= 20 pounds

And we assume the selling price per pound be X

So, the equation would be

$139.60 = 20 pounds × X

So, X would be

= $139.60 ÷ 20 pounds

= $6.98 per pound
