Answer:

Profit if 5,000 units were produced   $                    $

Total sales (5,000 x $50)                                     250,000

Less:

Total cost:

Total variable cost (5,000 x $25) 125,000

Total fixed cost                               <u>63,000  </u>        <u>188,000</u>

 Net profit                                                               <u>62,000</u>

Desired profit = $15 x 5,000 units = $75,000

Difference in profit = Desired profit - Net profit

                               = $75,000 - $62,000

                               = $13,000

Reduction in total expenses = Difference in profit

Reduction in total expense = $13,000

New total expenses = $188,000 - $13,000 = $175,000

The company should reduce the total expenses by $13,000 in order to achieve the target cost per unit.

                   

                 

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to determine the net profit if 5,000 units were produced. Then, we will obtain difference in profit by deducting the net profit from the desired profit. The difference in profit represents reduction in cost. The new total expenses will be the original total cost less reduction in cost. The total variable cost is the aggregate of variable product cost and variable administrative cost while the total fixed cost is the sum of total fixed overhead and total fixed administrative overhead.

Refer explanation

Credit : Accounts Payables account : $302000

Two months ago, Air-tite Corporation purchased 4,500 pounds of Hydrol, paying $15,300. The demand for this product has been very
Anna007 [38]

Answer: The $4.05 market price

Explanation: Air-tite can buy or sell Hydrol at $4.05. If they decide to accept the order, there has to be a higher return on the use of Hydrol in the return than they would get from selling Hydrol as is.

There may also be an opportunity cost to using the product for this special order if there is an order that would yield higher returns for the use of Hydrol.

The quantity that would remain after making the special order does not have any impact on the decision making process, as they are considering just one order that requires Hydrol.

The purchase price is not relevant as they cannot purchase Hydrol at that price in the present. The total quantity is not relevant either as they have enough for the order.
