Answer:

C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0

And we can solve for y and we got:

y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49

Explanation:

For this case the graph attached illustrate the problem for this case

We know that the total area is 60000, so then we have:

xy = 60000

If we solve for x we got:

x = \frac{60000}{y}  (1)

Now we can define the cost function like this:

C = 2*(25)*y + 25 x +40 x

C(x,y) = 50 y + 65 x

We can use the condition (1) and if we replace in the cost function we have:

C(y) = 50 y + 65(\frac{60000}{y})

Since we need to minimize the cost, we can derivate the function in terms of y and we got:

C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0

And we can solve for y and we got:

y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49

Answer:

The total cost to be capitalized for each of these two pieces of equipment:

Purchase equipment = $180,708

Construction equipment = $678,432

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase

Cash paid for equipment, including sales tax of $7,400 $155,400

Freight and insurance cost while in transit                            2,960

Cost of moving equipment into place at factory                   4,588

Wage cost for technicians to test equipment                       5,920  

Special plumbing fixtures required for new equipment      11,840

Total cost to be capitalized =                                           $180,708

Construction

Material and purchased parts (gross cost $296,000; failed to take 2% cash discount)                                  $296,000

Imputed interest on funds used

during construction (stock financing) 20,720

Labor costs                                          281,200

Allocated overhead costs:

Fixed                                 $29,600

Variable                             $44,400     74,000

Cost of installing equipment                 6,512

Savatey [412]

Answer:

WP Corporation

Which of the products should be processed beyond the split-off point? Product X Product Y Product Z

B) yes no yes

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Budgeted data for the next month:

products                                                           X             Y              Z

Units produced                                              2,400      2,900       3,900

Per unit sales value at split-off                   $ 21.00   $ 24.00   $ 24.00

Added processing costs per unit                $ 3.00     $ 5.00     $ 5.00

Per unit sales value if processed further $ 25.00  $ 25.00    $ 30.00

Added profit after further processing        $ 1.00    ($4.00)      $ 1.00

Further processing of the products X, Y, and Z will yield further or added profit of $1.00 from products X and Z, but a loss of $4 from product Y.  Therefore, product Y should not be processed further, unless its cost structure is such that there is a more than $4 profit to be generated and its further processing is necessary for the other two to be sold, that is if the three products must be sold jointly.  In such a case, management could take further analysis to reduce the cost for consumers.

I am Lyosha [343]
To calculate: 
1) Net income (loss) for 2010.
 2) Operating cash flow 
 Solution: 1)
 Sales = $850000
 Less: Cost of goods sold = $610000
  Gross profit = $240000
 Less: Administrative and selling expenses = $110000 
 Earning before Interest, Tax and Depreciation = $130000
 Less: Depreciation = $140000
  Earning before Interest and Tax (EBIT) = ($10000)
 Less: Interest expense = $85000
  Earning before tax (EBT) = ($95000)
 Less: Tax = $0 (as company is having negative EBT or loss hence no tax)

 
 Net loss = $95000  
 2) Operating cash flow 
 EBIT + Depreciation - Tax 
 Wherein, EBIT = Earning before Interest and Tax
  ($10000) + 140000 - 0 = $130000
