Pirate Seafood Company purchases lobsters and processes them into tails and flakes. It sells the lobster tails for $20.30 per po

und and the flakes for $15.30 per pound. On average, 100 pounds of lobster are processed into 58 pounds of tails and 26 pounds of flakes, with 16 pounds of waste. Assume that the company purchased 3,200 pounds of lobster for $4 per pound and processed the lobsters with an additional labor cost of $7,400. No materials or labor costs are assigned to the waste. If 1,722 pounds of tails and 752 pounds of flakes are sold, calculate the allocated cost of the sold items and the allocated cost of the ending inventory. The company allocates joint costs on a value basis. (Round your answers to nearest whole number. Round cost per pound answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

Pirate Seafood Company

1) Calculation of the Allocated Cost of Sold Items:

a) Production Units:

Lobster tails = 3,200/100 * 58 = 1,856 units

Lobster flakes = 3,200/100 * 26 = 832 units

Total units = 2,688 units, costing $12,800

b) Material costs:

Lobster tails = 1,856/2,688 * $12,800 = $8,838

Lobster flakes = 832/2,688 * $12,800 = $3,962

c) Labor costs:

Lobster tails = 1,856/2,688 * $7,400 = $5,110

Lobster flakes = 832/2,688 * $7,400 = $2,290

d) Total Production costs (Materials & Labor):

i) Lobster tails = $8,838 + $5,110 = $13,948

per unit cost = $13,948/1,856 = $7.52

ii) Lobster flakes = $3,962 + $2,290 = $$6,252

per unit cost = $6,252/832 = $7.51

e) Cost of Sales:

Lobster tails = $7.52 x 1,722 = $12,949.44

Lobster flakes = $7.51 x 752 = $5,647.52

2) Calculation of the Allocated Cost of Ending Inventory:

a) Ending Inventory units:

Lobster tails = Production unit Minus Sales unit = 1,856 - 1,722 = 134

Lobster flakes = Production unit Minus Sales unit = 832 - 752 = 80

b) Ending Inventory costs:

Lobster tails = 134 x $7.52 = $ 1,007.68

Lobster flakes = 80 x $7.51 = $600.80

Explanation:

To calculate the costs of sales and the costs of ending inventory, the first step is to calculate the units produced.  The material and labour costs are then apportioned based on the units produced since no costs are allocated to the waste.

Then, the unit costs of tails and flakes are calculated.  These form the bases for computing the cost of items sold and the ending inventory.

Fortune Enterprises is an all-equity firm that is considering issuing $13.5 million of perpetual debt. The interest rate is 10%.
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

d. Debt holders get $0 mil. under the unlevered plan vs. 0.6075 mil. under the levered plan

Explanation:

interests paid to debt holders = $13,500,000 x 10% = $1,350,000

generally, interest revenue is taxed as ordinary revenue = corporate income tax rate (if debt holder is a business) or personal income tax (if debt holder is an individual).

under the first plan, debt holders get nothing because there is no outstanding debt since the company is an all equity firm.

under the second plan, if the personal tax rate on interest income is 55%, which is really high, the debt holders will earn $1,350,000 x (1 - 55%) = $607,500

B: Refer the detail below

C: Refer the detail below

Explanation:

A. Definition of Supply

Supply is an economic term that refers to the quantity of a given product or service that suppliers are willing to offer to consumers at a given price level at a given period. Supply is positively related to price given that at higher prices there is an incentive to supply more as higher prices may generate increased revenue and profits

B. Non-price factors that will shift the supply curve

1. Producer input costs

2. producer expectation

3. The number of sellers.

C. Impact of Fountain Pens market

The increase in total revenue that results from selling one more unit of output is A. marginal revenue. B. average revenue. C. m
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

(i) Option (A) is correct.

(ii) Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

(i) Marginal revenue refers to the change in total revenue obtained from the sale of an extra unit of a commodity. It is calculated by differentiating total revenue with respect to output. It is shown as:

Marginal\ revenue=\frac{dTR}{dq}

where,

TR = Total revenue

q = output

(ii) In a perfectly competitive market, price is equal to both average revenue and marginal revenue. Since, firms in a competitive market are not required to reduce the price of their product for selling more number of units. Hence, the average revenue remains the same at all the level of output. That's why average revenue in equal to the price under perfect market conditions.

Therefore, every additional unit of an output is sold at a same price, so the marginal revenue obtained from an extra unit is constant and hence, price is equal to the marginal revenue.
