Answer:

Differential profit Profit = $40,000

Explanation:

The differential operating profit is the difference between the operating profit before the introduction of the product and after the introduction of the new product

Profit = Revenue - costs

Profit before the introduction of the new product

= 2,000,000 - 1,500,000 = 500,000

Profit after the introduction of the new product

New revenue = (2,000,000 + 200,000) = 2,200,000

Cumulative cost = 1,500,000 + 160,000 = 1,660,000

Profit = 2,200,000 - 1,660,000 = 540000

Differential profit Profit = 540,000 - 500,000= $40,000

Echo Sound Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 150 units $ 780 June 10 2

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

June 1: $780/150 units= $5.2 per unit

June 10: $1,170/200 units= $5.85 per unit

June 15: $1,260/200= $6.3 per unit

June 28: $990/150= $6.6 per units

A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 210 units on hand.

Units sold= total units - ending inventory

Units sold= (150 + 200 + 200 + 150) - 210= 490 units

The method with the lowest cost of goods sold will have the highest income:

FIFO (first-in, first-out):

COGS= 150*5.2 + 200*5.85 + 140*6.3= $2,832

LIFO /last-in, first-out)

COGS= 150*6.6 + 200*6.3 + 140*5.85= $3,069

Weighted-average:

Weighted-average price= (5.2 + 5.85 + 6.3 + 6.6)/4= 5.99

COGS= 490*5.99= $2,935.1

The inventory method that will provide the highest gross profit is FIFO.

A customer has requested that Byrd Corporation fill a special order for 9,000 units of product S51 for $20.50 a unit. Product S5

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Effect on income= $4,500 increase

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Special offer: 9,000 units of product S51 for $20.50 a unit.

Direct materials $ 3.10

Direct labor 1.50

Variable overhead 6.40

The customer would like modifications made to product S51 that would increase the variable costs by $5.00 per unit and that would require an investment of $36,000 in special molds that would have no salvage value.

Because it is a special offer, we will not have into account the fixed costs.

Unitary variable cost= 3.1 + 1.5 + 6.4 + 5= $16

Investment= 36,000

Effect on income= 9,000* (20.5 - 16) - 36,000

Effect on income= 40,500 - 36,000

Effect on income= $4,500 increase
