Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $120 and $80, respectively. Each product uses only on

e type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 100,000 units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity are given below:
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $ 30 $ 12
Direct labor 20 15
Variable manufacturing overhead 7 5
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 16 18
Variable selling expenses 12 8
Common fixed expenses 15 10
Total cost per unit $ 100 $ 68
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
Required:1. What is the total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead for the Alpha product line and for the Beta product line?2. What if the company's total amount of common fixed expenses?3. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 80,000 Alphas during the current year. One of Cane's sales representatives has found a new customer that is willing to buy 10,000 additional Alphas for a price of $80 per unit. If Cane accepts the customer's offer, how much will its profits increase or decrease?

Answer and Explanation:

1. The total amount of traceable fixed manufacturing overhead is given below:-

                                                 Alpha            Beta

Number of units produced   100,000       100,000

Traceable fixed

manufacturing overhead      $16                 $18

Total amount of traceable fixed

manufacturing overhead $1,600,000  $1,800,000

2. The total amount of common fixed expenses is given below:-

                                                 Alpha            Beta

Number of units produced   100,000       100,000

Common fixed

manufacturing overhead       $15                 $10

Total amount of common fixed

manufacturing overhead     $1,500,000  $1,000,000

3. The computation of increase or decrease of profit is shown below:-

Selling price                        $80

Less: Variable cost

Direct material                   ($30)

Direct labor                        ($20)

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             ($7)

Contribution margin           $23

Less: Variable selling

expenses                            ($12)

Profit per unit                       $11

Total profit increase

(10,000 × $11)                      $110,000

The computation of increase or decrease of profit is as shown below:-

Selling price                        $39

Less: Variable cost

Direct material                   ($12)

Direct labor                        ($15)

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             ($5)

Contribution margin           $7

Less: Variable selling

expenses                            ($8)

Profit per unit                       ($1)

Total profit decrease

(5,000 × -$1)                      -($5,000)

                        Cash                                                                     $22,000  

                    Being payment for new component expected to increase the

                    equipment’s productivity by 10% a year

      2.           Equipment Repairs expenses      $6,250

                       Cash                                                                          $6,250

                    Being payment for equipment repair

     3.            Equipment                                       $14,870

                       Cash                                                                          $14,870

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The answer is: The excise tax on cola beverages is $2 per case.

Explanation:

Excise taxes are taxes levied on certain goods or services.

In this case the price of cola beverages is $4 per case, since excise taxes are included in the price of the product, then the excise tax on cola beverages = price paid by consumers - price received by producers = $4 - $2 = $2

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

8.78

Explanation:

The computation of the cash cycle is given below;

We know that

Cash cycle = Inventory conversion period + Receivables conversion period - Payables conversion period.

Here

1. Inventory conversion period = Avg. Inventory ÷ (COGS ÷365)

= (11,000) ÷ (395000 ÷ 365)

= 10.16

2. Receivables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Receivable ÷ (Credit Sales × 365)

= (27000/520000) × 365

= 18.95

3. Payables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Payable ÷ (Purchases  × 365)

= (22000 ÷ 395000) × 365

= 20.33

Now the cash cycle is

= 10.16 + 18.95 - 20.33

= 8.78

In which one of the following instances is rivalry among competing sellers notmore intense?
dimaraw [331]

Answer: E.When there are so many industry rivals that the impact of any one company's actions is spread thinly across all industry members

Explanation:

The more the number of players in an industry the more it gets congested and especially for the competing sellers. The decision for increasing or reducing price is met by follower firms to do the same thing. It gets less competitive because you know all the players in the industry would be following the same practices and doing the same thing.
