Answer:

d. 96,000

Explanation:

Provided required rate of return on investments of $800,000 = 12%

Now desired profit = $800,000 X 12% = $96,000

therefore when fixing the price per unit this profit shall be added, and then reverse calculation is done.

With this we can get the desired profit.

At the last the total of cost and profit shall be divided by number of units to get the selling price per unit.

Therefore desired profit in dollars = $96,000

Answer:

The dollar amount of desired profit from production and sale of the company's product is D) $96,000.

Explanation:

CALCULATING THE TOTAL COST -    

The first step is to calculate the cost of production per unit of product =

Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Variable factory overhead + Fixed factory overhead cost / Fixed selling and administrative costs

= $5.5 + $7.65 + $2.25 + $82,000 / $45,000

= $16.3 + $1.82

= $17.22

TOTAL COST = $16.3 X $45,000 + $82,000 + $45,000

                       = $860,500

Here we have taken $16.3 because we are taking fixed factory overhead and fixed selling and administrative cost separately.

TOTAL REVENUE = $860,500 + $96,000 ( $800,000 X 12% )

                              = $ 956,500

PROFIT = REVENUE - COST

             = $956,500 - $860,500

             = $96,000

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C) III

  • III. No, the policy was excluded from Joseph's estate.

Explanation:

It doesn't matter who pays the policy's premiums, what matters is who is the beneficiary of the policy. If the proceeds of the policy are paid to the insured's estate, then they are part of it, but if the proceeds are paid to another beneficiary, then they are not included in the estate.

Since Joseph's wife was the owner and beneficiary of the policy, the proceeds will be paid directly to her. The advantage here is that proceeds from the life insurance policy  are not taxed as income, but if Joseph's state was larger than $5.43 million, then estate taxes might apply.
