Answer:

a. 90,000 classic lamps; 0 fancy lamps

Explanation:

To determine the optimise total contribution, we need to calculate the contribution margin per hour of machine time for both the lamps. Then the result of whichever is higher would be produced.

Moreover, as there is no limitation on how many lamps can be produced, therefore, we would assume that we can make as many as we want up to the limit of machine-hours available. The calculation is done as follows:

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one classic lamp

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 13 / 0.2

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for classic lamp = 65

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = Contribution/machine hours to build one fancy lamp

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 21 / 0.5

Contribution margin per hour of machine time for fancy lamp = 42

Since classic lamp has the higher contribution margin per hour. Therefore, all the machine hours would be used to make classic lamps.

= 18,000 / 0.2

= 90,000

Hence, 90,000 classic lamps would be sold while no fancy lamps will be sold to optimise total contribution (which would be 65 x 18,000 = $1,170,000).

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

cost of goods sold = $580

Explanation:

The cost of the goods sold means the cost price of the total sales volume. As the company uses FIFO (First-in, First-out) method and also uses the perpetual inventory system, the cost of goods sold =

Cost of goods sold =

20 units × $19 = $380 (The price is from November 1)

10 units × $20 = $200 (The price is from November 10)

The total cost of goods sold (30 units) = $580

notsponge [240]

Answer:

$2.89

Explanation:

The formula and the computation of the earning per share is shown below:

Earning per share = (Net income - preference dividend) ÷ (Number of shares)

where,

Net income is

= $911,300 × 5.87%

= $53,493.31

And, the preference dividend is $0

and, the outstanding number of shares is 18,500

So earning per share is

= $53,493.31 ÷ 18,500 shares

= $2.89
