Relevant Information:

The relevant information is as under:

Segmented income statements appear as follows:

Product                                    Original  Strawberry  Orange

Sales                                     65,200   85,600          102,400

Variable costs                     (44,000)   (77,200)  (80,200)

Contribution margin              21,200     8,400    22,200

Fixed costs allocated                (9,400)    (12,000)   (14,200)

Operating profit (loss)       11,800      (3,600)      8,000  

Answer:

The product not be closed because it is generating net cash flows of ($3,060), which will generate loss for the organization. The better option would be to not abandoning the manufacturing of Strawberry.

Explanation:

Relevant costing says that any savings or losses are relevant if it satisfy following three conditions:

  1. Is a cash flow.
  2. Future related (Not arising due to Past bindings).
  3. Differential or Incremental in nature.

Its crystal clear that any inflows and outflows that are considered would be cash in nature, not related to past events it must be arising as a consequence of taking the decision whose consequences are we considering now, I mean it must arise in future due to the decision made which are considering. The last condition is the concept of differential that lies in the heart of relevant costing and is easily understood by following the following steps:

Step 1: What are the losses or savings if we don't make decision?

Step 2: What are the losses or savings if we make the decision?

Step 3: The difference between step one and two is differential or incremental cost.

Here we learned that relevant cost arises if we take the decision (closing manufacturing of Strawberry), and it doesn't arises if we don't take the decision (not abandoning manufacturing of  Strawberry).

Relevant costs associated with the decision are as under:

                                                    Step 1              Step 2        Step 3

                                            Make Decision    If we Don't Differential

Revenue loss                             (85,600)               -          (85,600)

Variable Costs Savings              77,200                 -            77,200

Fixed costs Savings (W1)             5340                   -              5340

Operating Profit                                                                   (3,060)

Working1: Fixed costs Savings

Total Fixed costs =21400+12000+14200 = $35,600

The saving is 15% of the total fixed cost and is as under:

Fixed costs Savings = $35,600 * 15% = $5340

Answer:

Banks are owned by shareholders, while credit unions are owned by members

Explanation:

Banks are financial institutions established by the founders to make profits. Due to their capital requirements, banks are large corporations owned by the private sector or government. Like other corporations, the owners of a bank are its shareholders.

Large organizations form credit unions to cater to their employees well being. Credit unions are not for profit organizations since they are formed to cater to its members' well beings. It means membership to the credit union is limited to the founding organization's employees unless otherwise stated. The members of the credit unions are its owners.

What does the quantity theory speculate about the cause of inflation?
Gala2k [10]
Well the quantity theory is "The hypothesis that changes in prices correspond to changes in the monetary supply" so when inflation happens the price will increase but when that happens the purchases and the value of money will decrease so will its demand. That's the speculation that the prices will not correspond to the monetary supply
