The regular selling price for the product is $80. The annual quantity of units produced and sold is 40,000 units (the costs abov

e relate to the 40,000 units production level). The company has excess capacity and regular sales will not be affected by this special order. There was no beginning inventory.

Answer:

The correct option is d. Increase by $19,500.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Pluto Incorporated provided the following information regarding its single product:

Direct materials used = $240,000

Direct labor incurred = $420,000

Variable manufacturing overhead = $160,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead = $100,000

Variable selling and administrative expenses = $60,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $20,000

The regular selling price for the product is $80. The annual quantity of units produced and sold is 40,000 units (the costs above relate to the 40,000 units production level). The company has excess capacity and regular sales will not be affected by this special order. There was no beginning inventory.

What would be the effect on operating income of accepting a special order for 1,000 units at a sale price of $40 per product? Note: The special order units would not require any variable selling and administrative expenses.

a. Decrease by $19,500

b. Decrease by $18,000

c. Increase by $18,000

d. Increase by $19,500

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

We first calculate the expected total relevant cost of the special order as follows:

Direct materials cost per unit = Direct materials used / Annual units = $240,000 / 40,000 = $6.00

Direct labor cost per unit = Direct labor incurred / Annual units = $420,000 / 40,000 = $10.50

Variable manufacturing overhead per unit = Variable manufacturing overhead / Annual units = $160,000 / 40,000 = $4.00

Expected special order total relevant cost = (Direct materials cost per unit + Direct labor cost per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit) * Special order units = ($6.00 + $10.50 + $4.00) * 1,000 = $20.50 * 1,000 = $20,500

Expected revenue from the special order = Special order units * Special order selling price per unit = 1,000 * $40 = $40,000

Expected profit from the special order = Expected revenue from the special order - Expected special order total relevant cost = $40,000 - $20,500 = $19,500

Since the expected profit from the special order is $19,500, it therefore implies that accepting it would increase operating income by $19,500.

Therefore, the correct option is d. Increase by $19,500.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Explanation Below.

Explanation:

By Selling the property, the company gains cash from the sale, and also has been using the land for the business.

Land does not depreciate in accounting terms, however, it will depend on the market value of the land. In most cases the land will appreciate and have a greater value each year.

When the accountant states that selling the asset gives the seller "the best of both worlds" the accountant is referring to selling the land for a greater value than purchased and now the cash can be used to purchase another asset that will also bring value to the company.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer: $222,800

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales = $427,000

Cost of goods sold (all variable) = $173,400

Total variable selling expense = $21,200

Total fixed selling expense = $18,900

Total variable administrative expense = $9,600

Total fixed administrative expense = $36,300

Variable expenses:

= Cost of goods sold + Variable selling expense + Variable administrative expense

= $173,400 + $21,200 + $9,600

= $204,200

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses

                                  = $427,000 - $204,200  

                                 = $222,800

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

$607,250 outflow

Explanation:

Net Working Capital is the amount of money needed to maintain operations on a day to day basis.

Net Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

where,

<u>Current Assets are calculated as :</u>

Inventory                                                        $216,000

Accounts Receivable ($525,000 x 1.09)   $575,250

Total                                                                $788,250

and

Current Liabilities = $181,000

therefore,

Net Working Capital = $788,250 - $181,000 = $607,250

Conclusion

The project's initial cash flow for net working capital is $607,250 outflow.
