Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a.
Contribution per unit
= Selling price per unit - Variable costs per unit
= $300 - $200
= $100 per unit
Now
Break even point (units)
= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $14,000,000 ÷ $100
= 140,000 units
And,
b)
Sales units required for a target profit of $1,400,000
So,
= (Fixed costs + Target profits) ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= ($14,000,000 + $1,400,000) ÷ $100
= 154,000 units
Answer:
C) $22,727.
Explanation:
to calculate the 2019 layer, I will first determine the value of the 2019 inventory using LIFO:
(2018 inventory / 2018 price index) + (2019 inventory - 2018 inventory) = ($300,000 / 1.1) + ($350,000 - $300,000) = $272,727 + $50,000 = $322,727
to determine the LIFO layer = adjusted 2019 inventory - 2018 inventory = $322,727 - $300,000 = $22,727
The LIFO layer represents the difference in cost of goods sold from the ending of one year to the next year.
