Answer:

a) Contribution from the special order= $52,640.  

b) Stuart should accept the order

Explanation:

The amount of contribution to profit from the special order is the difference between the revenue  and the relevant cost of variable cost of the special order.

The relevant cost of the special order is equal the sum of all variable cost only.

Note that the allocated facility overhead is irrelevant to whether to accept or reject the order. This is so because the costs would still be incurred either way.

Relevant variable costs of special order = (880 + 510) × 47 = $65,330

Sales revenue = 2,510 × 47 =  $117,970.00

Contribution from the special order =$117,970.00 -  $65,330

                                                            = $52,640.00

B) Stuart should accept the special order because it would increase its profit by $52,640.

= $12,000 + $6,000 - $12,000

= $6,000

By adding the three situations we can get the expected profit from this investment

charle [14.2K]
The answer is 40%, in which the following are given: the Variable expense is equal to 20 dollars per unit and Sales is equal to 50 dollars per unit. Use the formula Variable Expense Ratio = Variable Expenses / Sales to get the answer. 

Variable Expense Ratio = Variable Expenses / Sales
Variable Expense Ratio = 20 dollars per unit / 50 dollars per unit
Variable Expense Ratio = 40 %

The variable expense ratio is an expression of variable production costs of the company as a percentage of sales, calculated as variable expense divided by total sales. It compares a cost that alters with levels of production to the number of revenues generated by production.

With negotiated transfer pricing, what is the minimum transfer price if operating at capacity? What is the minimum transfer pric
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Minimum transfer price when operating at capacity is the marginal cost + opportunity cost

Maximum transfer price is marginal cost only, when not operating at capacity.

Explanation:

Minimum transfer price when operating at capacity is the marginal cost + opportunity cost because when operating at capacity there are 2 elements involved - the cost at which it has made the units it will be transferring to another department within the organisation, and the profit it would have made if it had sold those units to others (opportunity cost)

Maximum transfer price is marginal cost only, when not operating at capacity because the department is constrained, it can only produce for the satisfaction of internal demand, not external customers; hence there is no case of opportunity costs.
