Question

Turner Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $100,000. The acquisition included 3,000 units of product LF, and 7,000 units of product 1B. LF normally sells for $30 per unit, and 1B for $10 per unit. If Turner sells 1,000 units of LF, what amount of gross profit should it recognize

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of gross profit Turner Corporation should recognize is $20,000.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Lump-sum cost = $100,000

Units of LF acquired = 3,000

Units of 1B acquired = 7,000

LF price per unit = $30

1B price per unit = $10

Unit of LF sold = 1,000

Therefore, we have:

Share of LF in the Lump-sum cost = (Units of LF acquired / (Units of LF acquired + Units of 1B acquired)) * Lump-sum cost = (3,000 / (3,000 + 7,000)) * $100,000 = $30,000

LF cost per unit = Share of LF in the Lump-sum cost / Units of LF acquired = $30,000 / 3,000 = $10

LF total revenue = Unit of LF sold * LF price per unit = 1,000 * $30 = $30,000

LF cost of goods sold = Unit of LF sold * LF cost per unit = 1,000 * $10 = $10,000

LF gross profit = LF total revenue - LF cost of goods sold = $30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000

Therefore, the amount of gross profit Turner Corporation should recognize is $20,000.
