Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $44,000 and a remaining useful life of four years.

At the end of the four years the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $22,800. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $128,000 and receive $22,800 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $19,800 per year over the four-year life of the new machine. The total increase or decrease in net income by replacing the current machine with the new machine (ignoring the time value of money) is:

Answer:

$26,000

Explanation:

The calculation of Net increase or decrease in income on replacement is shown below:-

Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years = Variable manufacturing costs × Life

= $19,800 × 4

= $79,200

Net Investment to be made in New machine = Initial investment of new machine - Traded in value of old machine

= $128,000 - $22,800

= $105,200

Net financial disadvantage of replacement = Net savings in Variable cost for 4 years - Net Investment to be made in New machine

= $79,200 - $105,200

= $26,000

So, for computing the net financial disadvantage of replacement we simply applied the above formula.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The answer is: 1) II > I > III

Explanation:

<u>Pricing scheme I: $2 million profit</u>

  • Price $150,000
  • Contribution margin = $150,000 - $50,000 = $100,000
  • 35 units sold x $100,000 = $3.5 million
  • profit = $3.5 million - $1.5M = $2 million

<u>Pricing scheme II: 2.25 million profit</u>

  • Price $200,000
  • Contribution margin = $200,000 - $50,000 = $150,000
  • 25 units sold x $150,000 = $3.75 million
  • profit = $3.75 million - $1.5M = $2.25 million

<u>Pricing scheme III: $1.5 million profit</u>

  • Price $250,000
  • Contribution margin = $250,000 - $50,000 = $200,000
  • 15 units sold x $200,000 = $3 million
  • profit = $3 million - $1.5M = $1.5 million

Mumz [18]

Question

Ellis Television makes and sells portable televisions. Each television regularly sells for $210. The following cost data per television is based on a full capacity of 10,000 televisions produced each period.

Direct material - $80

Direct Labour  -$60    

Manufacturing overhead(70% variable, 30% unavoidable fixed cos)  -$40

A special order has been received by Ellis for a sale of 2,000 televisions to an overseas customer. The only selling costs that would be incurred on this order would be $6 per television for shipping. Ellis is now selling 6,000 televisions through regular channels each period. What should be the minimum selling price per television in negotiating a price for this special order?

Answer:

The minimum selling price = $174.

Explanation:

The minimum selling price to be acceptable for the special order be the same as the relevant variable cost of producing a unit.

The relevant variable cost = marginal cost of a unit

Marginal cost = Direct material  + Direct labour + Variable manufacturing overhead + shipping cost

Marginal cost =  80 + 60 + (70%× 40) + 6

                      = 174

The minimum selling price = $174.

Note : The 30% balance of manufacturing overhead which represents unavoidable fixed costs is irrelevant for this decision. These are costs that would be incurred either way whether or not the special order is accepted.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

GDP= 9,872

Explanation:

The Expenditure Approach is a method of measuring GDP by calculating all spending throughout the economy including consumer consumption, investing, government spending, and net exports. This method calculates what a country produces, assuming that the finished goods and services of a country equals the amount spent in the country for that period.

The formula is:

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP: Gross Domestic Product

(C) consumer spending – this is the amount that all consumers spend on goods and services for personal use.

(I) investment – this is the amount that businesses or owners spend to invest in new equipment or expansions.

(G) government spending – this includes spending on new infrastructure like bridges and roads.

(NX) net exports – this includes spending on a country’s exports minus its spending on imports.

GDP= 6,728+1,767 +1,741+(1,102-1,466)

GDP= 9,872
