Answer 1

Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of gross profit that should be recognize

First step is to calculate the

A's sale value = 6,000 unit*12 per unit

A's sale value = $72,000

Second Step is to calculate B's sale value

B's sale value = 14,000 units*4 per unit

B's sale value= $56,000

Third step is to calculate the Total sale value

Total sale value = $72,000 + $56,000

Total sale value= $128,000

Fourth Step is to calculate the Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units and 2,000 units

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = ($72,000/$128,000) * $80,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = 0.5625*$80,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units= $45,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $45,000*2,000/6,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $15,000

Last step is to calculate the Gross profit of A for 2,000 units

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = (2,000*12 per units) - 15,000

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $24,000 - $15,000

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $9,000

Therefore the amount of gross profit that should be recognize will be $9,000
