Answer:
1. The financial advantage of accepting the special order is $20,910.
2. The relevant unit cost is the variable selling and administrative expenses of $1.40 per unit.
Explanation:
1. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order?
Since this order would not affect regular sales or the company's total fixed costs, it implies that only the variable costs will be considered to determine the financial advantage (disadvantage) of accepting the special order.
Therefore, we have:
Total variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling and administrative expenses = $2.40 + $2.00 + $0.90 + $1.40 = $6.70
Special order financial advantage (disadvantage) = (Special price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order = ($19.00 - $6.70) * 1,700 = $20,910
Therefore, the financial advantage of accepting the special order is $20,910.
2. As a separate matter from the special order, assume the company’s inventory includes 1,000 units of this product that were produced last year and that are inferior to the current model. The units must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices. The company does not expect the selling of these inferior units to have any effect on the sales of its current model. What unit cost is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units?
Since these units are inferior to the current model and must be sold through regular channels at reduced prices, the unit cost that is relevant for establishing a minimum selling price for the inferior units is therefore the variable selling and administrative expenses of $1.40 per unit.
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On July 1
Account receivable A/c Dr $17,300
To Sales $17,300
(Being the goods are sold on credit)
On July 8
Sales return and allowance A/c Dr $4,000
To Accounts receivable $4,000
(Being sales return is recorded)
On July 11
Cash ($17,300 - $4,000) × 98% $13,034
Sales discount ($17,300 - $4,000) × 2% $266
To Account receivable ($17,300 - $4,000) $13,300
(Being the cash received is recorded)
Only these three entries are recorded
Answer:
$510,000.00
Explanation:
Since the historical cost principle states that business must account and record most assets at their purchase or acquisition price which means the data put into record on the balance sheet would reflect amount paid for asset.
That is why it is $510000.
