Answer:

Total cost= $3,989.65

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Minutes Total Bill

January 470 $4,500

February 200 $2,695

March 180 $2,650

April 320 $2,830

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed costs:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (4,500 - 2,650) / (470 - 180)

Variable cost per unit= $6.37931

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 4,500 - (6.37931*470)

Fixed costs= $1,501.72

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 2,650 - (6.37931*180)

Fixed costs= $1,501.72

If the company uses 390 minutes in May:

Total cost= 1,501.72 + 6.37931*390

Total cost= $3,989.65

Karl runs a store that sells small and large space heaters. The large heaters sell for $250 each with unit variable costs of $12

umka2103 [35]

Answer: Karl must sell 1350 small heaters and 450 large heaters to break even.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

No. Small Large Total

1 Selling Price per unit 80 250

2 Variable Cost per unit 30 120

3 Number of units sold 2100 700 2800

4 Sales mix 3 1

5 Total sales (1*3) 168000 175000

6 Total Variable Cost (2*3) 63000 84000

7 Contribution Margin (5-6) 105000 91000 196000

Next we compute the Weighted Average Contribution Margin as follows:

$\mathbf{WACM per unit = \frac{Total Contribution Margin}{Total number of units sold}}$

$\mathbf{WACM per unit= \frac{196000}{2800} = 70}$

Now, Break even point (BEP) is computed as

$\mathbf{BEP = \frac{Total Fixed Costs}{WACM per unit}}$

$\mathbf{BEP = \frac{126000}{70} = 1800 units}$

Since the large and small heaters are sold in the 3:1 ratio, we can find the number of large and small heaters to be sold in order to achieve the break even point at 1800 units.

$No. of small heaters = BEP * \frac{3}{4}$

$No. of small heaters = 1800 * \frac{3}{4} = 1350 units$

$No. of large heaters = BEP * \frac{1}{4}$

$No. of large heaters = 1800 * \frac{1}{4} = 450 units$

The following data from the just completed year are taken from the accounting records of Mason Company: Sales $ 652,000 Direct l

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Beginning Raw Materials 8,000

Purchases 133,000

Ending Raw materials (10,100)

Used into production 130,900

Beginning WIP 5,400

cost added 416,900

total cost 422,300

ending WIP (20,400)

COGM 401,900

Beginning FG 70,000

COGM 401,900

goods available 471,900

ending FG (25,500)

COGG 446,400

Overhead 18,000 udnerapplied

Sales 652,000

COGM (464,400) - (446,400 + 18,000)

Gross Profit 187, 600‬

S&A (145,000)

Net income 42,600

Explanation:

We work the following reasoning:

the beginning inventory are the materials at hand at the beginning then we add up the purchases and compare with ending ivnentory. The difference was used into production.

Same thinking applpies to how to calculate for cost of goods manufactured and cost of goods sold.

side calculation:

cost added during the period:

mateirals used + direct labor + applied overhead

Overhead:

actual 223,000

applies 205,000

as the cost were higher we will adjust to increase overhead by 18,000 It was underapplied

This will increase the COGS in the income statement.

<u>Net income: </u>

we will calculate the net income by subtracting the COGS and the expenses from the sales revenues.
