Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $195 and $150, respectively. Each product uses only o

ne type of raw material that costs $5 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 123,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below
Alpha Beta
Direct materials $40 $15
Direct labor 34 28
Variable manufacturing overhead 22 20
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 30 33
Variable selling expenses 27 23
Common fixed expenses 30 25
Total cost per unit $183 $144
The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.
1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?
2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?
3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?
4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?

Answer:

Explanation:

Alpha = $195

Beta = $150

total production capacity = 123,000 pounds

raw materials = $5 per pound

Production costs per unit                        Alpha                Beta

direct materials                                          $40                   $15

direct labor                                                 $34                   $28

variable manufacturing overhead            $22                   $20  

fixed manufacturing overhead                 $30                   $33

variable selling expenses                         $27                   $23

common fixed expenses                          $30                   $25  

total cost per unit                                     $183                  $144

1) What contribution margin per pound of raw material is earned by Alpha and Beta?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound               <u> $9</u>                  <u>$21.33</u>

2) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. How many units of each product should Cane produce to maximize its profits?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound                $9                  $21.33

production (in units)                                2,500              75,000

profits                                                    $30,000          $450,000

total profits                                                   <u>$480,000</u>

3) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. What is the maximum contribution margin Cane Company can earn given the limited quantity of raw materials?

                                                                Alpha                Beta

contribution margin                                  $72                  $64

contribution margin per pound                $9                  $21.33

production (in units)                                2,500              75,000

contribution margin                             $180,000      $4,800,000

total contribution margin                            <u>$4,980,000</u>

4) Assume that Cane's customers would buy a maximum of 95,000 units of Alpha and 75,000 units of Beta. Also, assume that the company's raw material available for production is limited to 245,000 pounds. Up to how much should it be willing to pay per pound for additional raw materials?

If it wants to increase the production of Alpha, it could pay as much as ($195 - $183) / 8 = $1.50 extra per pound if it wants to maximize profits. Maximum price = $6.50 per pound. At this point, marginal revenue = price.

On January 1, 2012, Browning Corporation had 75,000 shares of $1 par value common stock issued and outstanding. During the year,
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The solution are given as under:

Explanation:

Part 1. The entry would record common stock at part and the above par value would be paid in capital.

Dr Cash $675,000

Cr Common Stock $60,000

Cr Paid In Capital   $615,000

Part 2. When dividend is declared, dividend payable must be recognized against the Retained Earnings.

Dividends Payable can be calculated by finding out the total shares on 15th of June, which is:

Total shares = Shares issued + Previously Held shares

= 75,000 + 60,000 = 135,000

Now the total dividend that is payable is:

Dividend Declared = Total Number of Shares * Dividend per share

= 135,000 Shares * $2 per share = $270,000

Dr Retained Earnings $270,000

Cr Dividend Payables $270,000

Part 3. The payment of dividends will decrease the dividend payables with $270,000, so the double entry would be:

Dr Dividend Payables $270,000

Cr Cash Account                 $270,000

Part 4. The purchasing of the treasury stock would be recorded as under:

Dr Treasury Stock $90,000 ..... $15 per share * 5000 shares

Cr Cash Account          $90,000

Part 5. The cash dividend declared would be similarly the way we calculated in the part 3 but here we will also account for the treasury stock as under:

Total shares = Shares issued + Previously Held shares - Treasury Stock

= 75,000 + 60,000 - 5,000 = 130,000

Now the total dividend that is payable is:

Dividend Declared = Total Number of Shares * Dividend per share

= 130,000 Shares * $2.5 per share = $325,000

Dr Retained Earnings $325,000

Cr    Dividend Payables $325,000

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Rare

Explanation:

VRIO Analysis is an analytical technique for the evaluation of company's resources and thus the competitive advantage. VRIO comes from the initials of the evaluation dimensions: Value, Rareness, Imitability, Organization.

A resource is rare simply if it is not widely possessed by other competitors. When a firm has valuable resources that are rare in the industry, they are in a position of competitive advantage over firms that do not have the resource.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

E. Centralized Authority.

Explanation:

As Typhanie, a customer service representative with WestComm Wireless Services, was asked by one of her customers if WestComm would be interested in joining the chamber of commerce to meet potential customers and increase its contacts in the local business community. Typhanie believes this is a very good idea and approached her manager, Deondre, about becoming a chamber member. Deondre said to Typhanie, "Because the cost of membership is over $500 and you will have to leave the office to attend meetings, I will have to get approval from management above me." WestComm is an example of an organization with centralized authority.

In centralized authority, the decisions are made from the top level management or decisions are made from certain managers. Anyone can't make decisions by his or her own in this kind of management style. This system has many flaws as well. As we have seen here in this case, Typhanie is interested in going to chamber of commerce which definitely will be very good for the organisation but when she approached her manager Deondre, he said he even himself can't decide about it, he has to get the orders from his boss. Although the event can be good for the organisation but centralized decision making has made it almost impossible.
