Answer:

Financial advantage = $10,000

Explanation:

Since the calculators are obsolete, in the current state they only have value of $50,000

If further processed,

Sales = 190,000

Processing cost = 130,000

Total profit after processing = 190,000 - 130,000 = $60,000

The financial advantage of processing further = 60,000 - 50,000

Financial advantage = $10,000, the calculators should be processed further.

Hope that helps.

Answer:

=$11,439.96(Approx)

Explanation:

Consider the following calculations

Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

200,000=Annuity[1-(1.0391)^-30]/0.0391

200,000=Annuity*17.48257135

Annuity=200,000/17.48257135

=$11,439.96(Approx)

Casual Essentials, Inc. manufactures two types of team shirts, the Homerun and the Goalpost, with unit contribution margins of $
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

1. What is the contribution margin per hour of machine time for each type of team shirts?

<em>Homerun = </em> $ 50

<em>Goalpost</em> =  $30

2. What is the optimal mix of team shirts?

Homerun =  50,890

Goalpost  = 3,822

3. What is the total contribution margin earned for the optimal mix?

Total contribution margin earned for the optimal mix = $311,780

Explanation:

<em>1. Contribution margin per hour of machine time for each type of team shirts</em>

<em><u>Homerun</u></em>

Contribution margin per hour of machine = $5 / (6/60)

                                                                     =  $ 50

<em><u>Goalpost</u></em>

Contribution margin per hour of machine = $15 / (30/60)

                                                                     =  $30

<em>2. Optimal mix of team shirts</em>

Determine if <em>machine time</em> is a limiting factor

<u>Demanded Hours</u>

Homerun 0.1 × 50,890  = 5,089

Goalpost 0.5 × 50,890  = 25445

Total Hours Demanded = 30,534

<u>Available Hours</u>

Available hours =1,000 hour × 7 machines

                          =7,000 hours

Demanded Hours > Available hours

Therefore  <em>machine time</em> is a limiting factor

Determine Mix

<em>Rank the T-Shirts based on contribution margin per hour of machine time</em>

Position 1. Homerun = 5,089

Position 2. Goalpost  = 1,911 (takes the remaining hours)

Number of T-Shirts (mix)

Homerun = 5,089 / 0.1 =  50,890

Goalpost  = 1,911 / 0.5 =  3,822

<em>3. The total contribution margin earned for the optimal mix</em>

Homerun =  50,890 × $5 =254,450

Goalpost  =  3,822 × $15 = 57,330

Total                                 = 311,780
