SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A. Desired Profit = $55,000

B. Product cost = $40

C. The product cost markup percentage = 225%

D. The sale price of handbags = $130 for 1 bag, $104,000 for 800 bags.

Explanation:

Requirement A

Here,

Desired Profit ($) = Invested assets x Desired profit in percentage

Given,

Invested assets = $250,000

Desired profit in percentage = 22%

The amount of desired profit from the production and sale of 800 handbags

= $250,000 x 22%

= $55,000

Requirement B

Product Cost = When the cost is directly related to the production of a specific product, it is called product cost. It means the materials, direct labor, and factory related costs are added to determine the product cost. No selling and administrative expenses are added in calculating product cost.

Given,

Direct materials     $18,000

Direct labor            $ 8,500

Factory overhead  $ 5,500

Total manufacturing cost $32,000

Product cost = \frac{Total Manufacturing Cost}{Number of bags}

Product cost for 800 handbags will be = \frac{32,000}{800}

Product cost = $40.

Requirement C & D

We know,

The product cost markup percentage = \frac{Selling price - Product cost}{Product Cost} x 100

We get product cost for each bag (from requirement B) = $40

We need to find total selling price for 800 bags =

Product cost + Selling and administrative expenses + desired profit

= $32,000 + $17,000 + $55,000

= $104,000

The sale price for 1 bag = \frac{104,000}{800} = $130

Therefore,

The product cost markup percentage = \frac{130 - 40}{40} x 100

The product cost markup percentage = \frac{90}{40} x 100

The product cost markup percentage = 225%

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The total budgeted cost of units produced $1,425,000

Explanation:

Total unit cost includes all the manufacturing costs like material, labor and overhead. It is used to calculating the inventory value.

As there is no beginning and ending inventory of work in process. The given beginning and ending inventory is Finished goods inventory.

Beginning Inventory = 16,000 units x $4.75 per unit = $76,000

Total Budgeted cost =

Unit produced = 300,000 units

Cost of Goods sold Budget

Direct material             $501,000

Direct labor                  $168,000

Variable overhead      $216,000

Fixed overhead           <u>$540,000</u>

Total Manufacturing cost                               $1,425,000

Add: Beginning Finished goods inventory   $76,000

Less: Ending Finished goods inventory        <u>$147,250   </u>

Cost of Goods Sold                                        <u>$1,353,750</u>

Workings:

Direct material = $1.67 x 300,000 units = $501,000

Direct labor = $0.56 x 300,000 units = $168,000

Variable overhead = $0.72 x 300,000 units = $216,000

Fixed overhead = $1.80 x 300,000 units = $540,000

Total Budgeted cost = $501,000 + $168,000 + $216,000 + $540,000 = 1,425,000

Ending Finished goods inventory = Beginning Finished goods inventory + Production in the period - Sales in the period = 16,000 + 300,000 - 285,000 = 31,000 units

Value of Ending Finished goods inventory = 31,000 units x 4.75 = $147,250
