15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Variable expenses                     378,000         14

Total variable costs              $3,240,000    $120

Contribution =                       $1,080,000      $40

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000

On January 1, Greenview Company adopted the dollar-value LIFO method. The inventory cost on January 1 was $112,000. On December
Mumz [18]

Answer:

125,200

Explanation:

Adjust inventory to base year prices:

= Cost of ending inventory ÷ cost index for the year

= $136400 ÷ 1.1

= $124,000

Current year LIFO layer:

= Adjust inventory to base year prices - Cost of beginning inventory

= $124,000 - $112,000

= $12,000

Inventory to be shown:

= Add the new LIFO layer at end of period prices to prior year LIFO inventory

= (112,000 × 1) + (12,000 × 1.1)

= 112,000 + 13,200

= 125,200

The following costs and useful life data are associated with two new machines being considered at Arun Tech Inc.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Machine B has a higher NPV therefore should be produced

Explanation:

The machine with the higher Net Present Value (NPV) should be produced .

NPV of Machine A

PV of cash flow

PV of annual profit = A × (1- (1+r)^*(-n)/r

A- 92,000, n- 11, r- 12%

PV = 92,000 × (1- (1.12^(-11)/0.12 = 546268.32

PV of salvage value = 13,000× 1.12^(-11)= 3737.189

NPV =  546268.320 + 3737.189  -250,000 = $300,005.50

NPV of Machine B

A- 103,00, n- 19, r- 12%

PV = 103,000 × (1- (1.12^(-19)/0.12= 758675.0165

Pv of salvage value = 26000× 1.12^(-19)= 3018.776199

NPV =758675.0165  + 3018.77  -460,000 = $301,693.79

Machine B has a higher NPV , therefore should be produced.

Wolverine Company financial statements included the effects of these errors: Reported Net Income for Year 1 was $20,000. Reporte
Natali [406]

Answer:

Net income year 2 = $21,300

Explanation:

I looked for the missing information and found this:

Year            Depreciation overstated         Prepaid expense omitted

1                              $2,500                                $2,000

2                             $4,000                                $2,700

If your question doesn't include the same values, just adjust the answer.

Year 2's net income = net income (year 2) + overstated depreciation (year 2) + omitted prepaid expenses (year 1) - omitted prepaid expenses (year 2) = $18,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 - $2,700 = $21,300
