Answer:

If Impala decides to buy from the external source , it would then save the fixed of $1,750

Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

Explanation:

<em>To determine the appropriate course of action, we shall determine whether there would be a net savings in cash flow as a result of purchasing externally or not.</em>

The relevant cash flows figures include:

  1. Internal variable cost of production
  2. External purchase price
  3. Savings in internal; fixed cost as result of buying outside

Variable cost of internal production = 42,000 + 8,750 + 15,750 = 66,500

Increase in variable cost if purchased externally = 66500 - 66500 = 0

If Impala decides to buy from the external source , it would then save the fixed of $1,750

Decision: Impala should be buy from the external source

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

COGS    3807 debit

FG          7896 debit

WIP         2397 debit

  Factory Overhead  14,100 credit

--to record the underapplication of overhead--

Explanation:

overhead rate:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

$515,000 overhead /  515,000 labor cost = $1

each labor cost generates a dollar of overhead.

221,400 x 1 =   221,400 overhead in COGS

459,200 x 1 = 459,200 overhead in Finished Goods

139,400 x 1 =   139,400 overhead in WIP inventory

Total applied  820,000

Actual            805,900

Underapplied    14,100

Now we weight each concept and determiante the portion underapplocated in each concept

vichka [17]

Answer:

Revenue - March = $160

Explanation:

The accrual principle in accounting states that the revenues for a period should match the expenses for that particular period and any revenue or expense should be recorded in the period to which it relates to. This means that the upfront fee received by Fit Co. is a liability and should not be recorded as a revenue until it is earned. So, by providing two sessions in the month of March, Fit Co. has earned revenue for 2 sessions out of the twelve. Thus, at the end of March, Fit Co. should record a revenue of,

Revenue - march = 960 * 2/12 = $160
