Minor Electric has received a special one-time order for 1,500 light fixtures (units) at $5 per unit. Minor currently produces a

nd sells 7,500 units at $6.00 each. This level represents 75% of its capacity. Production costs for these units are $4.50 per unit, which includes $3.00 variable cost and $1.50 fixed cost. To produce the special order, a new machine needs to be purchased at a cost of $1,000 with a zero salvage value. Management expects no other changes in costs as a result of the additional production. If Minor wishes to earn $1,250 on the special order, the size of the order would need to be:

Answer:

A special order for 1,125 units generates $1,250 in extra profit. This order (1,500 units) increases profits by $2,000

Explanation:

special order for 1,500 units at $5

regular production 7,500 units at $6

spare capacity 2,500 units (total capacity = 7,500 / 75% = 10,000)

production costs of regular units:

  • variable costs = $3 per unit
  • fixed costs = $1.50 per unit
  • total = $4.50 per unit

new machine is required that costs $1,000

regular fixed costs are not affected by special order

profit from special order:

  • total revenue = 1,500 x $5 = $7,500
  • relevant costs = 1,500 x $3 = ($4,500)
  • new machine = ($1,000)
  • additional profit from special order = $2,000

But Minor only wishes to earn $1,250 from special order, so the number of units should be:

($1,000 + $1,250) / ($5 - $3) = $2,250 / $2 = 1,125 units

Altira Corporation provides the following information related to its merchandise inventory during the month of August 2021:
nignag [31]

Aug. 1 Inventory On Hand—2,000 Units; Cost $5.70 Each.

Second sales assumed to be 7,000 units at a price of $11.40 each.

Answer:

Altira Corporation

August 2021 Ending Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold:

1. Ending Inventory = 9,000 units at $5.88 per unit = $52,920

2. Cost of goods sold =

9,600 x $5.87 = $56,352

7,000 x $5.95 =  $41,650

16,600 units   =  $98,002

Explanation:

a) Calculations:

                                         Units           Unit Cost       Total Cost

Beginning Inventory      2,000            $5.70              $11,400

Purchases                     12,000            $5.90            $70,800

Weighted average cost = ($11,400 + $70,800) / 14,000 = $5.87

Sales                             (9,600)          $12.00                               $115,200

Units remaining             4,400            $5.87             $25,828

Purchases                      7,200             $6.00            $43,200

Weighted average cost = ($25,828 + $43,200) / 11,600 = $5.95

Sales                             (7,000)            $11.40                              $79,800

Units remaining            4,600             $5.95             $27,370

Purchases                     4,400             $5.80             $25,520

Weighted average cost = ($27,370 + $25,520) / 9,000 = $5.88

Ending Inventory        9,000               $5.88             $52,920

b) The 'Average Cost Method' or the Weighted Average Cost Method assumes that the cost of inventory is based on the average cost of the goods available for sale during the period. To compute the average cost, divide the total cost of goods available for sale by the total units available for sale.

Suppose that in some state the civilian, non-institutionalized adult population is 4 million, the labor force participation rate
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

8.33%

Explanation:

The computation of the unemployment rate is shown below;

Before computing it, first we have to determine the labor force which is

As we know that

Labor force participation rate = Labor force ÷ Total non-institutionalized adult population

75% = Labor force ÷ 4,000,000

So, the labor force is

= 4,0000,000 × 0.75

= 3,000,000

Now unemployment rate is

= Unemployed people ÷ Labor force

= 250,000 ÷ 3,000,000

= 8.33%
