Answer:
$162,000
Explanation:
The amount of cost of goods manufactured is computed as
= Labor cost + Direct materials purchased + overhead costs - ending balance of materials - ending balance of work in process
= $57,000 + $25,000 + $88,000 - $3,000 - $5,000
= $162,000
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $162,000
Answer:
a. Beck Inc. = 5.00 and Bryant Inc. = 2.50
b. Beck Inc. = $100,000 and 100% : Bryant Inc. = $150,000 and 50 %
c. True.
Explanation:
Degree of Operating Leverage shows, the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) would change as a result of a change in Sales contribution.
Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT
Thus,
Beck Inc = $500,000 ÷ $100,000
= 5.00
Bryant Inc. = $750,000 ÷ $300,000
= 2.50
<em>If Sales increased by 20% the effects on Incomes would be :</em>
Beck Inc = 20% × 5.00
= 100%
= $100,000 × 100%
= $100,000
Bryant Inc.= 20% × 2.50
= 50 %
= $300,000 × 50 %
= $150,000
