units Selling price per unit $ 180 Variable manufacturing costs per unit $ 140 Variable selling costs per unit $ 15 Incremental fixed manufacturing costs $ 65,000 per year Incremental fixed selling costs $ 40,000 per year Allocated common fixed administrative costs $ 45,000 per year If the new product line is added, the company expects that it will increase the sales of complementary products, thereby generating $31,000 in incremental contribution margin from those products. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of adding the new product line

Answer:

Financial advantage of   $76,000

Explanation :

Concentrate on the incremental revenues (including incremental savings) and incremental costs (including opportunity cost) of adding the new product line.

<u>Analysis of the addition of a new product line</u>

<u>Sales and Savings :</u>

Sales (6,000 units × $ 180)                                                        $1,080,000

Sales of complementary products                                                 $31,000

<u>Costs and Opportunity Costs :</u>

Variable manufacturing costs per unit ($140 × 6,000 units)     (840,000)

Variable selling costs per unit ($15 × 6,000 units)                     ($90,000)

Incremental fixed manufacturing costs                                     ($ 65,000)

Incremental fixed selling costs                                                  ($ 40,000)

Financial advantage (disadvantage)                                            $76,000

The accompanying table gives cost data for a firm that is selling in a purely competitive market. At 6 units of output, total fi
FrozenT [24]

The total fixed cost is $150 and the total cost is $300.

What is total fixed cost?

Total fixed cost means the fixed per unit multiplied by the number of units at that level of production, from the table average fixed cost, in other words, fixed cost per unit is $25, in essence, total fixed cost is computed thus:

total fixed cost=average fixed cost*units

average fixed cost=$25

units=6

total fixed cost=$25*6

total fixed cost=$150

The fact the fixed cost is $150 means that the option which has total fixed cost $150 and total cost as $300 is the most appropriate , however, we would determine below how $300 of total cost was derived.

What is total cost?

Total cost is the sum of the total fixed cost plus the total variable cost

Total cost=total fixed cost+ total variable cost

total variable cost=average variable cost*units

average variable cost( from the cost data)=$25

total variable cost=$25*6

total variable cost=$150

total cost=$150+$150

total cost=$300

In essence, the correct option is the third one, where total fixed cost is $150 and the total cost is $300

Exercise 6-4A Calculate inventory amounts when costs are rising (LO6-3) [The following information applies to the questions disp
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1. Ending inventory = $2,408; Cost of goods sold = $16,837; Sales revenue = $22,770; and Gross profit = $5,933.

2. Ending inventory = $2,094; Cost of goods sold = $17,151; Sales revenue = $22,770; and Gross profit = $5,619.

3. Ending inventory = $2,293; Cost of goods sold = $16,952; Sales revenue = $22,770; and Gross profit = $5,818.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

Explanation to the answer is now presented as follows:

1. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using FIFO.

First In, First Out (FIFO) refers to an inventory accounting method in which inventory items purchased first are sold first, while the one that are purchased last are sold last.

In the attached excel file, since the inventory purchased on Oct. 6 is purchased last, the number of unit of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 sold is calculated by deducting the sum of the beginning inventory and inventory purchased before Oct. 6 from the total inventory sold as follows:

Number of unit of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 that are sold = Number of units sold - (Beginning inventory + Apr. 7 Purchases + Jul. 16 Purchases) = 414 - (45 + 125 + 195) = 49

Therefore, the number of ending inventory is obtained as follows:

Number of unit of ending inventory = Number of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 - Number of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 sold = 105 – 49 = 56

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 414 * $55 = $22,770

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $16,837

Ending inventory = $2,408

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $22,770 - $16,837 = $5,933

2. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using LIFO.

Last In, First Out (LIFO) refers to an inventory accounting method in which inventory items purchased last are sold first, while the one that are purchased first are sold last.

In the attached excel file, the number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are sold and the ones remaining that are NOT sold that forms part of ending inventory are calculated as follows:

Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are sold = 414 – (195 + 105) = 114

Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are NOT sold = Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 - Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are sold = 125 – 114 = 11

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 414 * $55 = $22,770

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $17,151

Ending inventory = $2,094

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $22,770 - $17,151 = $5,619

3. Using weighted average cost, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit. (Round "Average Cost per unit" to 4 decimal places and all other answers to the nearest whole number.)

Note: See part 3 of the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using weighted average cost.

Weighted average cost method refers to a method of costing inventory in which the total cost of the goods available for sale is divided by the total number of units available for sales in order to obtain weighted average cost per unit.

In the attached excel file, weighted average cost per unit is therefore calculated and rounded to 4 decimal places as follows:

Weighted average cost per unit = $19,245 / 470 = $40.9468

Number of unit of ending inventory = Total number of units available for sales – Number of unit sold = 470 – 414 = 56

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 414 * $55 = $22,770

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $16,952

Ending inventory = $2,293

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $22,770 - $16,952 = $5,818

DaniilM [7]

Community Supported Agriculture programs involve partnerships between food producers and local consumers in which the farms provide shares of their harvest with community members who support the farm by working on or financing the farm.

This partnership is important because it hedges the gap between the food producers and the local consumers who come together to provide food.

<h3>What is Partnership?</h3>

This refers to the arrangement where parties, known as business partners, agree to cooperate for a mutual benefit.

Hence, we can see that Community Supported Agriculture programs involve partnerships between food producers and local consumers in which the farms provide shares of their harvest with community members who support the farm by working on or financing the farm.

This partnership is important because it hedges the gap between the food producers and the local consumers who come together to provide food.

The preferred stock of a company pays a $2.75 quarterly dividends. If the preferred stockholders' required return is 7.25% for t
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$151.72

Explanation:

Quarterly dividends of preferred stock = $2.75

Annual dividend of preferred stock = 4 * Quarterly dividend

Annual dividend of preferred stock = 4 * $2.75

Annual dividend of preferred stock = $11

Required return = 7.25% = 0.0725

Return = Dividend / Current price

0.0725 = $11 / Current price

Current price = $11 / 0.0725

Current price = 151.724138

Current price = $151.72

So, the preferred stock should sell for $151.72.
