ira [324]

Answer:

The answer is: a

Explanation:

The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.

The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.

By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.

Foregone purchase costs from supplier: $12.80

Incurred costs (directly) from production: ($11.77)

Direct materials ($4.45)

Direct Labour ($3.45)

Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6) ($3.87)

Net gain per headlight $1.03

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Inventory turnover is a measure of the number of times inventory is sold in a given period of time period such as in a quarter or in a year.

Higher inventory is better than lower inventory because the higher the inventory turnover, the better a business is selling goods(inventories) very quickly and that demand for their product exists. While low inventory turnover depicts weaker sales and declining demand for a company's products

Ber [7]

Answer:

What is the amount of gross profit realized during 2020?

(460 x $33.30) + (230 x $29.60) + (276 x $18.50) = $27,232

What is the amount of inventory of unsold straight chairs on December 31, 2020?

[(920 - 460) x $56.70] + [(690 - 230) x $50.40] + [(1,610 - 276) x $31.50] = $26,082 + $23,184 + $42,021 = $91,287

Explanation:

lump sum cost of chairs = $137,655

Type Chairs Selling Price Each Total

Lounge chairs 920 $90 $82,800

Armchairs 690 $80 $55,20

Straight chairs 1,610 $50 $80,500

total 3,220 $218,500

if we allocate costs based on resale, then each chair should cost:

Lounge chairs $90 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $56.70

Armchairs $80 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $50.40

Straight chairs $50 x ($137,655 / $218,500) = $31.50

contribution margin per chair:

Lounge chairs $90 - $56.70 = $33.30

Armchairs $80 - $50.40 = $29.60

Straight chairs $50 - $31.50 = $18.50
