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

What is the capacity of the machine in batches unfinished batch?
Oxana [17]

Complete Question:

You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced.  The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part.  You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts.  The plant operates 8 hours per day.

What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?

Answer:

The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Set up time per batch = 10 minutes

Processing time per part = 2 minutes

Batch sizes = 50 parts

Plant operation = 8 hours per day

b) Capacity in batches per day:

Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes

Total minutes of operation  per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches

c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch.  Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day.  These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.

How does the dynamic model of aggregate supply and aggregate demand explain​ inflation? A. by showing that if total spending in
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The dynamic model of aggregate supply and aggregate demand shows that if an economy the total spending in the economy increases faster than total production, there will be a shortage. This shortage will cause the price level to increase and will ultimately lead to inflation.  

When the increase in aggregate demand is greater than the increase in aggregate supply, it will create a shortage in the economy. The demand for goods and services will be more than the supply of goods and services. This will cause the price level to increase.

Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annua
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Bond price=$888.35

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate</em>

<em>Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV</em>

The value of bond for Local School District can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payments

PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r

A-annul interest payment:

= 7.5% × 1,000× = 75

r-Annual yield = 8.6%

n-Maturity period = 25  

PV of interest payment:

=75× (1- (1+0.086)^(-25)/0.086)

= 761.22

Step 2

<em>PV of Redemption Value</em>

= 1000 × (1.017)^(-25)

= $127.131

Step 3

<em>Price of bond</em>

=761.222 + 127.13

=$888.35
