It costs Glenwood, Inc. $82 per unit to manufacture 1,000 units per month of a product that it can sell for $122 each. Alternati

mixas84 [53]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The profit would increase by $ 4000 if complex product was produced.</h2>

Explanation:

Total number of units to be manufactured = 1000

(i) The cost price of 1 unit = $ 82

The cost price of 1000 units = 82 * 1000 = $ 82000

Selling price of 1 unit = $ 122

The selling price of 1000 units = 122 * 1000 = $ 122000

Profit earned = 122000 - 82000 = $ 40000

(ii)To produce a complex product,

The cost price of 1 unit = $ 82 + $ 36 = $ 118

The cost price of 1000 units = 118 * 1000 = $ 118000

Selling price of 1 unit = $ 162

The selling price of 1000 units = 162 * 1000 = $ 162000

Profiy earned = 162000 - 118000 = $ 44000

Therefore, the profit would increase by $ 4000 if complex product was produced.

Archie Co. purchased a framing machine for $45,000 on January 1, 2021. The machine is expected to have a four-year life, with a

k0ka [10]

Answer: $10,000 and $25,000

Explanation:

DEPRECIATION FOR 2022.

Straight line method of depreciation means it depreciates by the same amount every year. You can calculate by

(Cost - Residual Value) / useful life.

=($45,000 - $5,000) / 4

= $10,000.

Each year the framing machine reduces by $10,000 meaning in 2022 the depreciation will be $10,000.

BOOK VALUE AT DECEMBER 31, 2022

We've established that every year the value drops by $10,000.

On December 31, 2021, it dropped by $10,000.

On December 31, 2022, it dropped by another $10,000.

Adding that together gives you 10,000 + 10,000 = $20,000.

$20,000 is the total depreciation at the end of 2022.

Subtract that figure from the cost,

=$45,000-$20,000

=$25,000.

BOOK VALUE ON DECEMBER 31, 2022 is $25,000.

Lake stevens marina has estimated that fixed costs per month are $350,000 and variable cost per dollar of sales is $0.30.

Leni [432]

$500,000

Break even =(fixed costs - contribution margin)

Contribution margin is Price of item- variable costs ($1- 30 cents/per item=.7)

$350,000/.7 = $500,000
