Answer:

1. <u>Impact on profits</u>:

Contribution Margin =                     $63,000

Less: Traceable Rent = $10,000

Less: Salary of Director = $10,000

Total avoidable fixed expenses = <u>$20,000</u>

Decrease in Profits =                      <u>$43,000</u>

Hence, the profits will reduce by $43,000 if the basketball program is eliminated.

3. If the allocated fixed costs can be reduced by $50,000. The program should be dropped since there will be an increase in profits by $7,000 (50,000 - 43,000). The avoidable costs and revenues should be taken into account for the purpose of this decision. If the avoidable costs are more than the revenues, the line should be dropped else not.

Hence, since after considering the reduction in allocated fixed costs, the avoidable costs are greater than revenues, the program should be dropped

The company’s cash flows from investing activities is $221,100

Explanation:

Cash flow from investing activities:

It records that transactions which is related to the purchase and sale of long term assets. The purchase of fixed assets has outflow of cash so, it is deducted whereas the sale of fixed assets has inflow of cash so, it is added.

The cash flow from investing activities is shown below:

Add : Sale of equipment (Book value - loss) = ($65,300 - $14,000) = $51,300

Less : Purchase of new truck = - $89,000

Add: Sale of land = $198,000

Add: Sale of long term investment = $60,800

So, the cash flow from operating activities :

= $51,300 - $89,000 + $198,000 + $60,800

= $221,100

The other cost is not related to the investing activities. Therefore, it is not considered in the computation part.

Hence, the company’s cash flows from investing activities is $221,100

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Joint cost = 80,000

Orapine

cost of 5000 at 20 = 100,000

Incremental Cost of further processing =20,000

Incremental revenue = 5000* (25-20)= 25,000

Incremental income                                   5,000

Banango

cost of 10000 at 15 = 150,000

Incremental cost of further processing =  20,000

Incremental revenue = 10,000*(16-15) = 10,000

Incremental income = (10,000) loss

If  Orapine is processed further , there will be an incremental income of 5,000 compared to Banango that will bring an incremental loss of 10,00 if processed further.

Based on this , it is advised that Orapine be processed further while Banango is not
