Answer:

Operating loss will decrease by $20,000

Explanation:

Operating loss from normal business activities and if the division is not shut down = $150,000.

Operating loss if division is shut down by the management = $130,000 ($480,000 - $350,000) because the management has determined that $350,000 of the $480,000 Fixed Costs shown would be eliminated if that happens.

So, if the Northern Division is shutdown, the Operating loss will decrease by $20,000 (From $150,000 to $130,000)

A sporting goods manufacturer budgets production of 45,000 pairs of ski boots in the first quarter and 30,000 pairs in the secon
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The budgeted materials need in kg. in the first quarter is 90,000 kg

Explanation:

For computing the budgeted material needed in the first quarter, first we have to calculate the consumption of first and second quarters separately, so that we can arrive to a solution.

The consumption of first quarter = Budgeted production × required kg

                                                   = 45,000 × 2

                                                   = 90,000 kg

The consumption of second quarter = Budgeted production × required kg

                                                   = 30,000 × 2

                                                   = 60,000 kg

The ending raw material inventory = 30% of second quarter

                                                      = 30% × 60,000

                                                      = 18,000 kg

Now put the formula to find out the purchase amount. The formula is shown below:

Raw material consumption = Opening raw material inventory + purchase of raw material - ending raw material inventory

where,

beginning inventory = 18,000 kg

90,000 = 18,000 + purchase - 18,000

So, the purchase is 90,000 kg

The question has asked the amount in kg so cost per kg is irrelevant.

Hence, the budgeted materials need in kg. in the first quarter is 90,000 kg
