Answer:
A) The GAAP statement is based on cost function rather than cost behavior.
Explanation:
Income statements that follow GAAP rules categorizes expenses based on their business function: product, selling or administrative.
While cost behavior categorizes costs based on how they influence a company's activities: variable, fixed and mixed. When a manager wants to measure the impact of any decision he/she makes, they need to use this type of categorization. For example, if fixed costs increase, what is the new break even point? If variable costs decrease, how is the marginal cost affected?
Answer:
Explanation:
Last year Current year
Selling Price 10 10
Varaible Price 5 6
Contribution Margin 5 4
Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.
company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.
Break Even using FIFO method : first In first out system
Fix Cost = 86000
contribution from opening units(6000*5) = 30000
Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from
current year products = 56000
Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4) = 14000
so we have break even units 6000+14000 = 20000
Fix cost = -86000
Opening 6000*5 = 30000
Current 14000*4 = 56000
Profit = 0
Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out
Fix Cost = 86000
Break even = Fix Cost / Contribution margin
Break even = 86000/4 =21500
current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
Answer:
From the information provided
Federal rate tax of earnings = 30000 × 0.6%
= 30000 × 0.006
= 180
State rate tax of earnings = 30000 × 5.4%
= 30000 × 0.054
= 1620
Medicare taxes = 2625
Social security taxes = 10500
Total payroll tax expenses = Medicare taxes + social security taxes + state rate tax on earnings + federal rate tax on earnings
= 10500 + 2625 + 180 +1620
= $ 14925
