The benchmarking function of budgeting system involves the evaluation of performance of managers.

This does not require benchmarking.

Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Houston Houston Office Equipment manufactures and sells metal shelving. It began operations on January​ 1,2014.
Vanyuwa [196]

Solution:

1) If 2 pounds of direct materials are used to make one unit of finished product, then 115,000 units × 2 lbs, or 230,000 lbs were used at $0.65 per lb of direct materials i.e. ($149,500 ÷ 230,000 lbs.).

The Formula for calculating Ending Direct Material Cost =  [Ending Direct Material Inventory * Cost per lb]

Therefore, Ending Direct Materials cost is 1,900 lbs. * $0.65 = $1,235.

2) Manufacturing Costs for 115,000 units  

   Variable Fixed Total

   Direct materials costs – $149,500  + Direct manufacturing labor costs – 31,500  + Plant energy costs – 3,000  + Indirect manufacturing labor costs

 

   (Variable + Fixed) i.e. 15,000+12,000 - 27,000  + Other indirect manufacturing costs

 

   (Variable + Fixed) i.e. 10,000+32,000 - 42,000

    So, Cost of goods manufactured - $253,000

Average unit manufacturing cost = $253,000 ÷ 115,000 units

                                                       = $2.20 per unit

Finished Goods Inventory at Dec. 31, 2014 = $15,400

Therefore Finished goods inventory total units = $15400 / $2.20

                                                                                = 7,000 units

3) Units sold in 2014 = Beginning inventory + Production – Ending inventory

                                   = 0 + 115,000 –7,000

                                 = 108,000 units

Therefore, Selling price in 2014 = Total Revenues / Units Sold

                                                      = $583,200 ÷ 108,000

                                                      = $5.40 per unit

4) Operating Income for 2014

            Revenues(108,000 units sold × $5.40) = $583,200

           Cost of units sold:

            Beginning finished goods, Jan. 1, 2014 = $0

            Cost of goods manufactured = $253,000

           Cost of goods available for sale = $253,000

           Ending finished goods, Dec. 31, 2014 = $15,400

           So, Cost of Units sold ($253000 - $15400) = $237,600

Therefore, Gross margin = Total Revenue - Cost of Units Sold

                                          = $583,200 - $237,600

                                         = $345,600

Operating costs:  Marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs

Variable + Fixed i.e. ($126,000 + $48,000) = $174,000

Administrative costs = $57000

Total Operating Costs = $231,000

Therefore Operating income for 2014 = $345600 - $231,000

                                                                = $114600

Leaf Co. purchased from Oak Co. a $20,000, 8%, 5-year note that required five equal annual year-end payments of $5,009. The note
Veronika [31]

Answer:

b. $5,560

Explanation:

The computation of the total interest revenue is shown below:

The five equal annual year-end payments = $5,009

For five years, the total amount is

= $5,009 × 5 years

= $25,045

And, the present value of recording the note is $19,485

So, the  total interest revenue earned would be

= Five years amount - present value of recording the note

= $25,045 - $19,485

= $5,560
