Answer:

111 pounds

Explanation:

The number of pounds Cynthia should order each day can be calculated as follows

Calculation

Standard deviation = 20

Mean = 100

Cost of actual utilization = 8-3 = 5

Cost of Under utilization = 4-2 = 2

Probability of sale = Co/(Cu+Co)

Probability of sale = 5/(5+2)

Probability of sale =0.714

Z score at above probability = z = 0.57

hence cynthia should order= mean+z*standard deviation

Order = 100+0.57*20

Order = 111.4 or 111 pounds

Holton Company makes three products in a single facility. Data concerning these products follow:
evablogger [386]

Answer:

86,700 minutes

Explanation:

a.  Demand on the mixing machine:

Minutes required to produce 3000 units of A (3000 x 26.9) 80700  

Minutes required to produce 1000 units of B (1000 x 2) 2000  

Minutes required to produce 2000 units of C (2000 x 2) 4000  

Total minutes   =    86,700 minutes

Therefore, in order to satisfy the demand for all of the products they would need 86,700 minutes of mixing machine time,

but they only have 14,000 minutes available for each month.

This means that they cannot satisfy the demand with the number of minutes that they have available.

b.Optimal production plan:

                         Product A Product B Product C  

Selling price per unit           $ 137.10     $ 74.80 $ 167.60  

Direct materials     $ 59.70       $ 41.70  $ 100.70  

Direct labor      $ 43.00       $ 13.30  $ 29.50

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 8.20       $ 4.30 $ 13.80

Variable selling cost per unit  $ 15.20       $ 3.10  $ 8.50

Total variable cost per unit        $ 126.10    $ 62.40 $ 152.50

Contribution margin per unit  $ 11.00  $ 12.40  $ 15.10

Mixing minutes per unit          26.90 2.00  2.00

Contribution margin per minute  $0.41 $6.20  $7.55

Rank in terms of profitability          3  2          1

Optimal production          223  1,000  2,000

 

c. The company should be willing to pay $0.41 for one additional hour of mixing machine time if the company has made the best use of the existing mixing machine capacity for Product A.  

For Product B the company should be willing to pay $6.20, and $7.55 for Product C.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

2021 2020 Income Statement Information

Sales revenue $ 8,400,000 $ 7,900,000

Cost of goods sold 5,535,600 5,400,000

Net income 332,500 198,000

Balance Sheet Information

Current assets $ 1,550,000 $ 1,450,000

Long-term assets 2,150,000 1,850,000

Total assets $ 3,700,000 $ 3,300,000

Current liabilities $ 1,150,000 $ 850,000

Long-term liabilities 1,550,000 1,550,000

Common stock 750,000 750,000

Retained earnings 250,000 150,000

Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 3,700,000 $ 3,300,000

<h2>1. </h2>

Calculate the following profitability ratios for 2021: (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

The four main profitability ratios are:

  1. gross profit margin = (revenue - COGS) / revenue = ($8,400,000 - $5,535,600) / $8,400,000 = 0.341 or 34.1%
  2. net profit margin = net profit / revenue = $332,500 / $8,400,000 = 0.03958 or 3.96%
  3. return on assets = net income / average total assets = $332,500 / [($3,700,000 + $3,300,000)/2] = $332,500 / $3,500,000 = 0.095 or 9.5%
  4. return on equity = net income / shareholders equity = $332,500 / $1,000,000 = 0.3325 or 33.25%

<h2>2. </h2>

Determine the amount of dividends paid to shareholders in 2021.

retained earnings 2021 - retained earnings 2020 = net income - dividends

$250,000 - $150,000 = $332,500 - dividends

$100,000 + dividends = $332,500

dividends = $332,500 - $100,000 = $232,500

Delish Foods sells jars of special spices used in Italian cooking. The variable cost is $2 per unit. Fixed costs are $9,000,000
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

$3.38 per unit

Explanation:

Total costs:

= Total fixed cost + Total variable cost

= $9,000,000 + (5,000,000 units × $2 per unit)

= $9,000,000 + $10,000,000

= $19,000,000

Target revenue:

= Total costs - Desired profit

= $19,000,000 - ($42,000,000 × 5%)

= $19,000,000 - $2,100,000

= $16,900,000

Sales price per unit = Target revenue ÷ Total units

                                = $16,900,000 ÷ 5,000,000

                                = $3.38 per unit
