Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $640,000 ($40)

Variable expenses= 448,000 (28)

Contribution margin= 192,000 ($12)

Fixed expenses= (145,200)

Net operating income=$46,800

1) To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 145,200/(40-28)

Break-even point in units= 12,100 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 145,200/ (12/40)

Break-even point (dollars)= $484,000

<u>2) The break-even point is the number of units to sell to reach a net profit of cero. Therefore, the contribution margin must be equal to the fixed costs.</u>

Contribution margin= 145,200

3) profit= $75,600

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 220,800/12

Break-even point in units= 18,400 units

Sales= 18,400*40= 736,000

Total variable costs= 18,400*28= (515,200)

Contribution margin= 220,800

Fixed costs= 145,200

Net profit= 75,600

4) The margin of safety:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 640,000 - 484,000= $156,000

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 156,000/640,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.244= 24.4%

5) Contribution margin ratio= 12/40= 0.3

Net increase= 96,000*0.3= $28,800

Lehman Corp. has two departments: Assembly and Testing. Assembly department had beginning inventory of 750 units which were 50%
algol13

Answer:

Total equivalent unit     1,425 units

Explanation:

<em>Under the first-in -first out system, to account for the units completed in a period, it is assumed that the opening inventory units are first completed and the balance represents the newly introduced.</em>

<em>Fully worked represents unit of inventory started this this period and completed this period</em>

Fully worked = completed units - opening inventory

Fully worked = 1200 -750 = 450 units

Item                        Units                                     Equivalent Units

Opening WIP         750     750×50%                     375

Fully worked          450      450× 100%                   450

Closing WIP           800       800× 75%                 <u> 600</u>

Total equivalent unit                                              <u>1,425</u>

Note the opening inventory has 50% work done last period so the balance of 50% i.e (100 - 50)  is completed this period

Sparks Fireworks manufactures and sells fireworks. Their raw materials used is $71,500. Their beginning raw materials inventory
algol13

Answer:

The correct answer would be, $70500

Explanation:

Raw Material Turnover means what amount of raw materials is used within a specific period of time. So the raw material turnover would be calculated by adding the beginning inventory with the amount of material used within the period, and then the remaining material will be deducted. So the whole calculations are shown as follows:

Beginning Raw Material Inventory: $5000

Raw Material Used:                $71500

Ending Raw Material Inventory:    $6000

Raw Material Inventory Turnover:

Beginning Inventory + Raw Material Used - Ending Raw Material

= 5000+71500-6000= $70500
