Variable Manufacturing   1,567,500

Fixed Manufacturing      <u>    247,500</u>

COGS:                               1,815,000

gross profit                       1,760,000

Variable S&A expense      302,500

Fixed S&A expense     <u>        191,250  </u>

Net Income                      1,266,250‬

Explanation:

Absorption cost will consider unit cost only the manufacturing department cost the rest are period cost.

We solve for the fixed overhead per unit using produced units:

Fixed overhead $382,500 / 85,000 = 4.5

Then we add it to the variable cost of 28.5 and get a unit cost of $33

Wer multiply by the 55,000 units to get COGS

the rest will be period cost.

A producer of felt-tip pens has received a forecast of demand of 31,000 pens for the coming month from its marketing department.
atroni [7]

Answer:

  • a. <em>Break-even quantity:</em> <u>28,000 pens</u>

  • b<em>. Price</em>: <u>$1.51 per pen</u>

Explanation:

1. Break-even quantity

<u>a) Revenue, R(x)</u>

The  monthly revenue is the product of the price by the number of units sold in the month.

Naming x the number of pens sold in the month:

  • R(x) = $1 × x = x

<u>b) Cost, C(x)</u>

<u />

The monthly cost is the sum of the fixed cost per month plus the variable costs:

  • C(x) = $21,000 + 0.25 × x = 21,000 + 0.25x

<u>c) Break-even</u>

Break-even is the point when the revenue and the total costs are equal, this is, when the profit is zero. Write the equation and solve:

  • x = 21,000 + 0.25x
  • x - 0.25x = 21,000
  • 0.75x = 21,000
  • x = 21,000 / 0.75
  • x = 28,000

Hence, the break-even quantity is 28,000 pens.

2. Price pens must be sold to obtain a monthly profit of $18,000

Profit = Revenue - Total cost

  • P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

  • P(x) = x.p - [ 0.25x + 21,000]

Where p is the price.

  • P(x) = x.p - 0.25x - 21,000

Substitute the quantity demanded, x, with 31,000, and the profit, P(x) with 18,000:

  • 18,000 = 31,000p - 0.25(31,000) - 21,000

Solve for p and compute:

  • 31,000p = 18,000 + 7,750 + 21,000

  • 31,000 p = 46,750

  • p = 1.51

That is $1.51 per pen.
