Answer:

B. Company A's cost structure has higher fixed costs than B's.

Explanation:

Let's see the formula for income:

50,000 units x sales price - variable cost x 50,000 - fixed = net income

50,000 (sales - variable) - fixed = net income

At 50,000 both have equal net income.

Also we are given the fact that their sales is the same.

"identical except for cost structure"

So:

50,000 (S-V_a)-Fixed_a = 50,000 (S-V_b)-Fixed_b

We work it and remove sales from the equation:

50,000S-50,000V_a-Fixed_a = 50,000S-50,000V_b-Fixed_b

-50,000Variable_a-Fixed_a = -50,000Variable_b-Fixed_b

At 60,000 units, Company A has a higer income, so the increase of variable cost in company A is lower than company B

The cost of 10,000 more units is all variable cost, if Company A has more income, then their variable are lower.

If variable cost for 10,000 is lower, same applies for the variable cost for 50,000 so we have:

10,000Va < 10,000 Vb

50,000Va < 50,000Vb

So to have equal income at 50,000 units.

Fixed of A > Fixed of B

bija089 [108]

Answer:

a)

Job          Direct Materials     Direct Labor     overhead         Total Job cost

Job 765               $6,160           $1,848              $3,366                 $11,374

Job 766               $10,944         $3,456             $9,792                $24,192

b)

For Job 765 = $86.167

For Job 765 = $126

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Job                 Direct Materials            Direct Labor          Machine Hours

Job 765               $6,160                         $1,848                      22

Job 766               $10,944                       $3,456                     64

Overhead rate = $153 per hour

Job 765 consisted = 132 units

766 consisted = 192 units

now,

Overhead = Machine Hours × Overhead rate

For Job 765 = 22 × 153

= $3366

For Job 766 = 64 × 153

= $9792

Total job cost i.e  balance on the job cost sheets

= Direct Materials  + Direct Labor + overhead

a)

Job          Direct Materials     Direct Labor     overhead         Total Job cost

Job 765               $6,160           $1,848              $3,366                 $11,374

Job 766               $10,944         $3,456             $9,792                $24,192

b)

Cost per unit = [ Total job cost ] ÷ Total units

For Job 765 = $11,374 ÷ 132

= $86.167

For Job 765 = $24,192 ÷ 192

= $126

Explanation:

An expansionary gap occurs in an economy when the potential output in the economy is less than the actual output.
