Answer:

If the machine is purchased, the contribution margin per unit will be $39.00

Explanation:

Contribution margin per unit is the amount that each additional unit sold contributes towards a company’s fixed costs and profit and calculated by following formula:

Contribution Margin per Unit = Sales Price – Variable Cost per Unit

If the machine is purchased, variable costs will decrease by $5.00 per unit

Variable Cost per Unit = $36.00 - $5.00 = $31.00

Contribution Margin per Unit = $70.00 - $31.00 = $39.00

Montano1993 [528]

Answer: -30%

Explanation:

The Nominal gain is:

= 100,000 - 20,000

= 80,000 foci

Tax on nominal gain:

= 20% * 80,000

= 16,000 foci

After tax nominal value of land:

= 100,000  - 16,000

= 84,000 foci

The real value given the price index is:

= 84,000 / 600 * 100

= 14,000 foci

After tax real rate of cap. gain:

= (14,000 - 20,000) / 20,000

= -30%

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

1)

<u>a) First, we need to calculate the total estimated overhead:</u>

Total overhead= 1,100,000 + (5*50,000)= 1,350,000

<u>Now, we can determine the overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 1,350,000/50,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $27 per machine hour

<u>b) </u>

Job D-75:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 27*20,000

Total cost= $1,600,000

Job C-200:

Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 27*30,000

Total cost= $1,760,000

c) Selling price= 150% of manufacturing costs

Job D-75= 1,600,000*1.5= $2,400,000

Job C-200= 1,760,000*1.5= $2,640,000

d) COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS=  0 + (1,600,000 + 1,760,000) - 0

COGS= $3,360,000

<u>2) </u>

<u>a) </u>

Molding= (800,000/20,000) + 5= $45 per machine hour

Assembly= (300,000/30,000) + 5= $15 per machine hour

<u>b) </u>

Job D-75:

Total cost= 700,000 + 360,000 + 45*20,000

Total cost= $$1,960,000

Job C-200:

Total cost= 550,000 + 400,000 + 15*30,000

Total cost= $1,400,000

<u>c) </u>

Job D-75= 1,960,000*1.5= $2,940,000

Job C-200= 1,400,000*1.5= $2,100,000

<u>d)</u> COGS= 0 + (1,960,000 + 1,400,000) + 0

COGS= $3,360,000

Columbia Corporation produces a single product. The company's variable costing income statement for November appears below: Colu
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Value of closing Inventory under absorption costing = $56,610

Explanation:

Provided sales for the month = $902,000 a the rate of $22 per unit.

That means sales in units = $902,000/ $22 = 41,000 units.

Provided opening stock of finished goods = 8,770 units

Production for the month of November = 35,560 units

Closing inventory = Opening + Manufactured - Sales

                              = 8,770 + 35,560 - 41,000 = 3,330

Under absorption costing only manufacturing overheads are added to the cost of goods, operating expenses like selling & administrative do not form part of that.

Variable cost of goods sold do not include operating expenses, as variable selling expenses are provided separately.

Therefore cost of goods sold per unit = $574,000/41,000 = $14 per unit.

Variable selling expenses will not form part of value of closing inventory under absorption costing.

Fixed manufacturing expenses will be considered fully with the production quantity of 35,560 units as no production capacity has been provided.

Manufacturing fixed cost per unit = $106,680/35,560 = $3 per unit

Value of closing Inventory = Cost of goods sold per unit + Fixed cost per unit allocated

= ($14 X 3,330) + ($3 X 3,330) = $56,610
