Income statement using variable costing

$ $

Sales 1,900,500

Less: Variable costs:

Direct material (27,000 units x $15) 405,000

Direct labour (27,000 units x $15) 405,000

Variable overhead (27,000 units x $3) 81,000

891,000

Less: Closing stock (8,000 units x $33) 264,000

627,000

Add: Variable selling and administrative 133,000 760,000

Contribution 1,140,500

Less: Fixed cost:

Fixed production cost (27,000 x $25) 675,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses 300,000 975,000

Net profit 165,500

Absorption costing 464,000 365,500

Less: Marginal costing 264,000 165,500

Difference 200,000  200,000

The difference of $200,000 in net profit is as a result of $200,000 difference in closing inventory.

Explanation:

In variable costing, variable costs are deducted from sales so as to obtain contribution margin. Net profit is the difference between contribution and fixed costs. Closing stock is the difference between production units and sales units. Closing stock is valued at marginal cost per unit in variable costing. Marginal cost per unit is the aggregate of all variable cost per unit.

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Lawnmowers= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 114,314

Chainsaws= 68,589

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales Mix - Unit Contribution Margin

Lawnmowers 20 % $34

Weed-trimmers 50 % $24

Chainsaws 30 % $37

Yard total has fixed cost of $6,836,000

Based on the weighted average sales participation and the unit contribution margin, we can calculate the weighted average contribution margin for the whole company. We need it to calculate the break-even point in units.

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Weighted average contribution margin= sales participation per product* unitary contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.20*34) + (0.5*24) + (0.3*37)= 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 6,836,000/ 29.9= 228,629 units

Now, we can calculate the required units for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.20*228,629= 45,726

Weed-trimmers= 0.50*228,629= 114,314

Chainsaws= 0.3*228,629= 68,589

padilas [110]

Answer:

Option D: Counterfeit activity

Explanation:

Counterfeiting activities refer to the wide range of activities that violate the intellectual property rights of individuals. They range from illegal product duplication to piracy and illegal production and sale of a patented product.

Counterfeiting does not only harm the Intellectual property owner, it also affects the nation. This is because counterfeiting activities discourage creators from investing time and other resources to create novel products for the market that can boost the economy.

The other options are not correct. They mean the following:

Royalties refer to the sum of money that is paid to patent holders over the use f their products.

International franchising refers to the process of given permission to individuals around the world to operate and do business under your brand name, under strict adherence to certain codes of conduct

foreign licensing refers to is the agreement between two companies to sell each other's products outside their home country.
