Question

Sherman, Inc. manufactures chainsaws that sell for $65. Each chainsaw uses $14 in direct materials and $9 in direct labor per unit. Sherman has two activities: Machining, which is applied at the rate of $4 per machine hour, and Finishing, which is applied at the rate of $20 per batch. This month, Sherman made 225 chainsaws, using 1,125 machine hours in 45 batches. What is the gross profit for one chainsaw

Answer 1

Answer: $18

Explanation:

Based on the information,

Sales revenue = $65 × 225 = $14625

Cost of goods sold = (45 × $20) + (1125 × $4) + (225 × $14) + (225 × $9)

= $900 + $4500 + $3150 + $2025

= $10575

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost

= $14625 - $10575

= $4050

The gross profit for one chainsaw will be:

= $4050/225

= $18
