Answer: BruceCo would have to sell 220 backpacks

Explanation: The projection of a $10,000 profit can be calculated properly by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

There is a one-time set up charge of 1000 and this is a fixed cost (as it does not change regardless of how many units they eventually sell). Also they would be spending $30 to buy each unit and still spend $20 to customize each. So each unit would cost $50 to acquire. If they plan on selling each unit at the rate of $100, then the total revenue would be 100 times X (where X is the number of units sold). Therefore the profit can be better projected by the equation;

Revenue - Cost = Profit

100X - (50X + 1000) = 10000

100X -50X - 1000 = 10000

50X = 10000 + 1000

50X = 11000

Divide both sides of the equation by 50

X = 220

Therefore, BruceCo must sell 220 units (at least) in order to meet a $10,000 profit projection

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The net income for 2020 is $171,360

Explanation:

The computation of the net income is shown below:

=  Net sales -  Cost of goods sold - Administrative expenses - Selling expenses - Discontinued operations  - income tax expense

= $550,800 - $214,200 - $81,600 - $40,800 - $42,840

= $171,360

The income tax expense is computed below:

= (Net sales -  Cost of goods sold - Administrative expenses - Selling expenses - Discontinued operations) × income tax rate

= $214,200 × 20%

= $42,840

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Net operating income= 341,000

Explanation:

We need to use the following structure:

Gross profit= sales - cost of goods sold

Net operating income= Gross profit - other expenses (variable and fixed)

<u>Under the absorption costing method, the cost of goods sold incorporates the fixed overhead.</u>

Sales= 980,000

COGS= (116,000 + 266,000)= (382,000)

Gross profit= 598,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs= (116,000)

Variable selling and administrative costs= (141,000)

Net operating income= 341,000
