Garth Corporation sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% a

Sonja [21]

Answer:

D) CM per unit: Increases

CM ratio: No change

BE in units: Decreases

Explanation:

Let us suppose that

In the first case

The selling price per unit is $100

And, the variable cost per unit is $50

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $100 - $50

= $50

The CM ratio is

= $50 ÷ $100

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $50

= 2,000 units

Now if the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10%

So,

The selling price per unit is $100 × 1.10 = $110

And, the variable cost per unit is $50 × 1.10 = $55

The fixed expense is $100,000

So, the contribution margin per unit

= $110 - $55

= $55

The CM ratio is

= $55 ÷ $110

= 50%

And, the break even point in units is

= $100,000 ÷ $55

= 1,818 units

Hence, the last option is correct

Scrumptious Snacks Inc. manufactures three types of snack foods: tortilla chips, potato chips, and pretzels. The company has bud

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the number of processing hours:

Processing hours= (0.25*3,000) + (0.1*6,000) + (0.3*3,500)

Processing hours= 750 + 600 + 1,050

Processing hours= 2,400

Now, we can calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 207,000 / 2,400

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate=$86.25 per processing hour

To allocate overhead, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Tortilla chips= 86.25*75= 64,687.5

Potato chips= 600*86.25= 51,750

Pretzels= 86.25*1,050= 90,562.5

Finally, the unitary cost:

Tortilla chips= 64,687.5 / 3,000= $21.56

Potato chips= 51,750 / 6,000= $8.63

Pretzels= 90,562.5 / 3,500= $25.88

Basile [38]

Answer:

Hilary is a retired teacher who lives in Miami and does some consulting work for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, she is willing to work 10 hours per week. At $65 per hour, she is willing to work 19 hours per week.

Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Hilary’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $65 per hour is approximately 2.37 , which means that Hilary’s supply of labor over this wage range is elastic.

Explanation:

Midpoint elasticity = (Change in labor supplied / Average labor supplied) / (Change in wage rate / Average wage rate)

= [(19 - 10) / (19 + 10) / 2] / [$(65 - 50) / $(65 + 50) / 2]

= [9 / (29 / 2)] / [15 / (115 / 2)]

= (9 / 14.5) / (15 / 57.5)

= 0.62/0.26

Midpoint elasticity = 2.37

Once elasticity is greater than 1, supply of labor is Elastic.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

C. Depreciation is a current expense of a cash outflow in the current period.

FALSE depreciation is a deferral expense it do not related t oa cash flow

Explanation:

A. The income statement is put together at a specific point in time (end of a business quarter, or business year) and so the sale could be in one period and the cash received in another period.

CORRECT income statement end at a certain date and include transaction under accrual accounting which doesn't relate to cash disbursements or collection

B. The income statement contains the set of expenses associated with the products or services sold during the current operating period, with those expenses not associated with current cash flow labeled as nonminuscash expense items

CORRECT It works with accrual accounting

D. Companies depreciate fixed assets (such as office furniture, equipment, machinery, and buildings) over an assigned time period, but the initial cash outlay for the fixed asset typically occurs at the time the asset is acquired by the firm.

CORRECT the cash disbursements occurs at time zero. Then, the accounting distributes this over several period to decrease the impact in the first period

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w

OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

Actual production= 11,700 units.

The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $\textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}$

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= $\$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.$

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}$

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)$

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
