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

Dimas [21]

Answer:

COGS= $598,020

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Kevin owns a retail store, and during the current year, he purchased $610,000 worth of inventory. Kevin's beginning inventory was $67,000, and his ending inventory is $77,200. During the year, Kevin withdrew $1,780 in inventory for his personal use.

We need to deduct the inventory used for personal use.

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 67,000 + 610,000 - 77,200 - 1,780

COGS= $598,020

Machinery purchased for $150,000 by Tom Brady Co. in 2010 was originally estimated to have a life of 12 years with a salvage val
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

$7,312.50

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:

Book Value is

= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation

= $150,000 - {[($150,000 - $24,000) ÷ 12 ] × 7y}

= $150,000 - [($126,000 ÷ 12 ) × 7]

= $150,000 - ($10,500 × 7)

= $150,000 - $73,500

= $76,500

Now the depreciation expense for 2017 :

= ($76,500 - $18,000) ÷ (15 - 7) years

= $58,500 ÷ 8 years

= $7,312.50

LenKa [72]

Answer:

APR would be 3.9607805% compounded semiannually

APR would be 3.9284877% compounded monthly

Explanation:

We calcualte consider these rates should be inancially equivalent to an equivalent rate of 4% annually.

<u>The semiannual compounding will capitalize two times:</u>

(1+APR/2)^2 = 1+EAR\\(\sqrt{1.04} -1) \times 2 = 0.039607805

<u>The monthly will capitalize 12 times per year:</u>

(1+APR/12)^12 = 1+EAR\\(\sqrt[12]{1.04} -1) \times 12 = 0.039284877
