Answer:

At an annual requirement of 40,000 units, selecting the low-cost option will save the company per year:

b) $50,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

ALTERNATIVE                           FIXED COST            VARIABLE COST

Special-Purpose Equipment     $200,000 per year      $15 per unit

General-Purpose Equipment     $50,000 per year     $20 per unit

Total Cost of Production for 40,000 units under the two alternatives:

ALTERNATIVE       FIXED COST    VARIABLE COST         TOTAL  COSTS

Special-Purpose   $200,000      $600,000 ($15*40,000)    $800,000

General-Purpose     $50,000    $800,000 ($20*40,000)   $850,000

b) The difference between the two alternatives in total costs is $50,000 ($850,000 - $800,000) with the low-cost alternative as the Special-Purpose Equipment.

Texarkana Company exchanged equipment that cost $85,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $29,800 and a fair value of $60,000.
viva [34]

Answer:

$4,800

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost = $66,000

Accumulated depreciation = $30,000

Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

= $66,000 - $30,000

= $36,000

Now,

Fair value = $48,000 + $12,000

= $60,000

Thus,

Gain = $60,000 - $36,000

= $24,000

Therefore,

Gain to be recognized = $24,000 × [ 12,000 ÷ 60,000 ]

= $4,800

Taylor Company has current sales of 1,000 units, which generates sales revenue of $190,000, variable costs of $76,000 and fixed
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The change in net operating income after the changes by $14,200

Explanation:

For computing the change in net operating income, first, we have to compute the contribution per unit which is shown below:

Contribution per unit = Selling per unit - variable cost per unit

                                   = $190 per unit - $76 per unit

                                   =  $114 per unit

where,

The selling per unit = (Sales revenue ÷ number of units)

                                = ($190,000 ÷ 1,000 units)

                                = $190 per unit

The variable cost per unit = (variable cost ÷ number of units)

                                           = ($76,000 ÷ 1,000 units)

                                           = $76 per unit

Now the change in operating income equals to

= (increased sales units × contribution per unit) - advertising cost

= (300 units × $114 per unit) - $20,000

= $34,200 -$20,000

= $14,200 increase
