Faux Trees Company produces artificial Christmas trees. A local shopping mall recently made a special order offer; the shopping

mall would like to purchase 230 extra-large white trees. Faux Trees Company is currently producing and selling 20,000 trees; the company has the excess capacity to handle this special order. The shopping mall has offered to pay $160 for each tree. An accountant at Faux Trees Company provides an estimate of the unit product cost as follows:
Direct materials $51.61
Direct labor​ (variable) $3.80
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead ​$4.00
Total unit cost $60.41

This special order would require an investment of $5,000 for the molds required for the extra−large trees. These molds would have no other purpose and would have no salvage value. The special order trees would also have an additional variable cost of $8.26 per unit associated with having a white tree. This special order would not have any effect on the​ company's other sales. If the special order is​ accepted, the​ company's operating income would increase​ (decrease) by:_______

a. $15679 decrease.
b. $15,679 increase.
c. $16,708 decrease.
d. $10,679 increase.

Answer: $‭16,925.9‬0 increase

Explanation:

Company already has the excess capacity to handle this order so the fixed costs will not be included as they would have already been incurred.

Cost of manufacturing the trees would be:

= Variable cost + Fixed cost

= ((51.61 + 3.80 + 1.00 + 8.26 for white tree) * 230 trees) + 5,000 for molds

= (64.67 * 230) + 5,000

= $‭19,874.1‬0

Incremental revenue = 230 trees * 160

= $36,800

Incremental operating income = 36,800 - ‭19,874.1‬

= $‭16,925.9‬0 increase

Toni makes apple pies for the local bakery. When Toni works with an assistant, she produces 60% more apple pies and works 20% fe
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

200 % is the answer.

Explanation:

Toni makes x be apple pies .

and Jane works for y hours.

therefore, he makes x apple pies in y hours

which implies he makes \frac{x}{y} apple pies per hour  

Now with help of an assistant:  

Toni  makes 60% more  apple pies  i.e. x + 0.6x = 1.6x  apple pies

works 20% less i.e. y - 0.2y = 0.8y hours

therefore, now together they make 1.6x/0.8y apple pies per hour \frac{\frac{1.6x}{0.8y} }{\frac{x}{y} } X 100

simplifying we get

200

Hence % increase in output PER HOUR is 200.

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

graciously accept the blame for not making her meaning clear.

Explanation:

In business communication when the message being passed is not clearly understood for one reason or the the other (in this case because of language barrier). The polite action to take is first to graciously accept blame for not passing the message across clearly, then find a solution to the communication gap.

Talking louder to the other party will be the wrong step to take as it will appear rude, so offer an apology which will give a positive environment.

The other options of ending the conversation and asking an Italian business man to explain what you mean in simple terms will be taken as a slight.

Orange Co. is a manufacturer and Pineapple Company is a merchandiser. What is the difference in the budgets the two entities wil
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Orange Co.'s budget will include the cost of production, which is made up of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.  The above cost of production and the accompanying items will not be found in the budget of Pineapple Company.  The latter's budget will focus on purchase of goods for sale (instead of raw materials) and inventories of finished goods (instead of raw materials and work in process).  Orange Co. determines its product cost per unit from the cost of production divided by the quantity produced.  Pineapple Company's product cost is based on the purchase price of goods, which includes the manufacturer's profit.

Explanation:

The operations and accounting for the cost of production of Orange Co. will be different from Pineapple Company's.  The difference is a reflection of their statuses as manufacturer and merchandiser respectively.  Orange Co. manufactures and sells goods while Pineapple Company sell manufactured goods.
