A produce distributor uses 774 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $12 each. The manager has assigned an ann

ki77a [65]

Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}$

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}$

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42

Bristo Corporation has sales of 1,000 units at $60 per unit. Variable expenses are 40% of the selling price. If total fixed expe

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

3.60

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales units = 1,000

Sales price per unit = $60

Variable expenses = 40% of the selling price

Total Fixed cost = $26,000

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $60 - ($60 × 40%)

= $60 - $24

= $36

Total contribution:

= Contribution margin per unit × Sales units

= $36 × 1,000

= $36,000

Profit = Total contribution - Fixed cost

= $36,000 - $26,000

= $10,000

Degree of operating leverage:

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed Expenses)

= (60,000 - 24,000) ÷ (60,000 - 24,000 - 26,000)

= 36,000 ÷ 10,000

= 3.60
