Variable selling expenses 12 8
Common fixed expenses 15 10
Total cost per unit $ 100 $ 68

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.

                                                 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

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

Direct material                   ($30)

Direct labor                        ($20)

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             ($7)

Contribution margin           $23

Contribution margin           $7

Less: Variable selling

expenses                            ($8)

Profit per unit                       ($1)

The steeper an isoquant is ​(labor measured on the horizontal axis​): A. the greater is the level of output. B. the greater is t
Volgvan

Answer:

C. the greater is the marginal productivity of labor relative to that of capital

Explanation:

An isoquant is a curve that shows all the combinations of inputs that yield the same level of output.

When adding one factor holding the other factor constant inevitably, leads to lower output levels, the isoquant must become steeper, as more capital is added instead of labour, and flatter when labour is added instead of capital. Returns to capital even decline.

On June 1, Aaron Company purchased equipment at a cost of $120,000 that has a depreciable cost of $90,000 and an estimated usefu
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

It is $30,000(C)

Explanation:

Depreciable cost = $90,000

Using straight-line method,

Annual depreciation = $90,000/3

                                  = $30,000.

Hence, depreciation expense at the final year of service is $30,000

We cannot make use of entire cost of equipment of $120,000 because it seemed the company wanted to sell its scrap value for  $30,000. Hence, this has been used to reduced it cost to $90,000 which is a depreciable cost .
