Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

Explanation:

<em>Joint costs are the costs incurred up until the split-off where two or more products result from the same production process. These  common costs need to be apportioned among the joint products using any of the following basis:</em>

  1. physical units
  2. Relative sales value basis.

The relative value basis apportions joint costs using the proportion of product individual sales value to the the total sales value.

Total sales value = (280×4,000) + (100×2,800) =1400000

Apportioned joint cost to A =(1,120,000/1,400,000)× 116,000=92800

Apportioned joint cost to A=$92,800

LO 3.4A company sells two products, Model 101 and Model 202. For every one unit of Model 101, they sell they sell two units of M
dexar [7]

Answer:

The sales mix is 1:2.

                           Model 101          Model 102

Selling Price                       21             56

Variable Cost              -14            -35

Contribution Per Unit       7               21

Multiply Sales Mix Ratio       1               2

Weighted Contribution       7                      42

Now add the weighted Contribution to compute Contribution margin per composite unit which is 7+42=$49

Explanation:

I assumed that the cost and selling price here for Model 101 is $14 and $21 respectively. Similarly the cost and selling price of Model 102 is $35 and $56 respectively.

Remember that Contribution margin per composite unit means that we will earn 49 dollars(combined contribution of sales mix) if we sell the sale mix of Model 101 and 102 which is 1:2.

Exercise 11-1 Compute the Return on Investment (ROI) [LO11-1] Alyeska Services Company, a division of a major oil company, provi
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1. Margin = 0.32 or 32%

2. Turnover = $19,000,000  or Operating Asset Turnover = 0.52 or 52%

3. Return on Investment = 0.17 or 17%

Explanation:

Firstly, list out the parameters we were given:

Sales = $19,000,000, Net Operating Income = $6,100,000,

Average Operating Assets = $36,500,000

1. Operating Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales

Operating Margin = 6,100,000 ÷ 19,000,000 = 0.32

Operating Margin = <u>0.32</u> (to 2 decimal places)

Operating Margin = <u>32%</u>

<u />

2. Turnover refers to sales or revenue made during a particular period. In which case turnover is <u>$19,000,000</u>

However, if the turnover referred to is the Operating Asset Turnover, that is calculated below:

Operating Asset Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets

Operating Asset Turnover = 19,000,000 ÷ 36,500,000

Operating Asset Turnover = <u>0.52</u> (to 2 decimal places)

Operating Asset Turnover = <u>52%</u>

<u />

3. Return on Investment (ROI) = Net Operating Income / Average Operating Assets

Return on Investment (ROI) = 6,100,000 ÷ 36,500,000

Return on Investment (ROI) = <u>0.17</u> (to 2 decimal places)

Return on Investment (ROI) = <u>17%</u>
