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

During the current year, Swallow Corporation, a calendar year C corporation, has the following transactions. Income from operati
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

a. Taxable Income = $42,000

b. Taxable Income = $28,000

Explanation:

Given

Income from operations $660,000

Expenses from operations $760,000

Dividends received from Brown Corporation $240,000

a.

Taxable Income is calculated

Dividend received + Income from operations - Expenses from Operations

Taxable Income = $240,000 + $660,000 - $760,000

Taxable Income = $140,000

Swallow Corp owns 12% of Browns Corporation stock;

And 12% is not up to 20% owned by Browns Corporation.

So. The Dividend Received is 70% of $140,000

Dividend = $98,000

Taxable Income = $140,000 - $98,000

Taxable Income = $42,000

b.

Dividend Received + Taxable Income (ii) = Taxable Income (i)

Where Taxable Income (I) = $140,000

Calculating Dividend

Dividend = 80% of $140,000

Dividend = $112,000

Taxable Income = $140,000 - $112,000

Taxable Income = $28,000

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$1,291

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Per day allocation = $1,475 ÷ 360 days = 4.0972

Now the days of the seller is counted from January to October month i.e

= 10 months × 30 days

= 300 days

And, add the 15 days of November, so the total number of  days is 315 days

So, the seller portion of the tax is

= 315 days ×  4.0972

= $1,291

The calendar year started from January month and we take the same for the above calculation

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: edge computing

Explanation:

Edge computing refers to an open and distributed IT architecture which possesses features such as decentralized processing power, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

Data is not transmitted to a day center but rather being processed by the device itself or the server. It helps in bringing data storage and computation closer to the data sources and this helps in saving bandwidth and improving response times.

Since the company wants to improve its operations by using data from devices at individual locations to make real-time adjustments to service delivery, then the technology that would be combine with its current Cloud operations to make this possible is the edge computing.
