Answer:

Johnson Stores

Staffing Budget for Holidays:

a. The amount to budget for additional sales clerks for the holiday season is:

= $24,192.

b. The additional profit generated if a staff is added for the increased sale is:

= $1,209.60.

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Number of sales clerk required for each $12,000 in daily sales = 1

Average sales increase = $96,000

Number of sales clerk required for the $96,000 sales increase = 8 ($96,000/$12,000)

Number of shopping days from Black Friday to Christmas Eve = 27

Sales clerk works a shift per day = 8 hours

Wages per hour = $14

Total hours to be worked by the additional sales clerk = 8 * 27 * 8 = 1,728

Total wages = 1,728 * $14 = $24,192

Average gross profit on sales = 40%

Total gross profit on sales = $24,192 * 40% = $9,676.80

Additional gross profit generated by adding a staff = $1,209.60 ($9,676.80/8)

o-na [289]

Answer:

$75.40

Explanation:

Mark up is a percentage applied on the cost to get the selling price. In other  word, the difference between the marked-up amount and the total cost gives the profit of the entity.

To get the target selling price, we would first determine the total cost, then apply the mark up percentage on the cost and add the result to the cost.

Total cost per unit

= $12 + $4 + $9 + $10 + $5 + $12

= $52

Amount of mark up

= 45% * $52

= $23.40

Target selling price = $52 + $23.40

= $75.40

Direct materials per unit                                              $25              $25

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit         $5               $5

Total product cost per unit                                            $45            $45  

Thus, the unit product cost under variable costing for yea 1 and year 2 is $45

Add: Variable manufacturing overhead per unit   $5              $5

Add: Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

D1 = $1(1+0.25) = 1.25

D2 = $1.25(1+0.25) = 1.5625

D3 = $1.5625(1+0.25) = 1.953

D4 = $1.953(1+0.25) = $2.05

Current value = P0 =

= 1.25/(1+0.18) + 1.5625/(1+0.18)^2 + 1.953/(1+0.18)^3 + 2.05/(0.18-0.05) * (1+0.18)^(-3) =

=$12.96

Current value of the stock is 12.96

Yanka [14]

Answer:

b. $1,500

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount of manufacturing overhead is shown below:

= Assembly department + Fabrication department

where,

Assembly department equals to

= $30 × 40 machine hours

= $1,200

Fabrication department would be

= $12 × 25 direct labor hour

= $300

So, the total manufacturing overhead would be

= $1,200 + $300

= $1,500
