Benitez Company currently outsources a relay switch that is a component in one of its products. The switches cost $20 each. The company is considering making the switches internally at the following projected annual production costs: Unit-level material cost$3 Unit-level labor cost$2 Unit-level overhead$1 Batch-level set-up cost (5,000 units per batch)$25,000 Product-level supervisory salaries$37,500 Allocated facility-level costs$20,000 The company expects an annual need for 5,000 switches. If the company makes the product, it will have to utilize factory space currently being leased to another company for $1,500 a month. If the company decides to make the parts, total costs will be:

$10,500 more than if the switches are purchased. Outsourced cost of the relay switches: $20 per unit × 5,000 units = $100,000 Relevant cost for expected production of the relay switches: Unit-level costs [($3 + $2 + $1) × 5,000 units]$30,000 Batch-level costs ($25,000 × 1 batch) 25,000 Product-level costs (supervisory salaries) 37,500 Facility-level costs (rent of factory space of $1,500 × 12 months) 18,000 Total relevant costs$110,500 The allocated factory-level costs are not relevant because the company will incur them whether it accepts or rejects the special order.

Newton Corporation entered into the following transactions during its first year of operations. (Assume all transactions involve cash.) Acquired $2,000 of capital from the owners. Purchased $600 of direct raw materials. Used $400 of these direct raw materials in the production process. Paid production workers $800 cash. Paid $400 for manufacturing overhead. Started and completed 200 units of inventory. Sold 50 units at a price of $12 each. Paid $80 for selling and administrative expenses. The amount of net income for the year was:

$120. Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct labor + Actual overhead costs Total manufacturing costs = $400 + $800 + $400 = $1,600 Total manufacturing costs per unit = $1,600 ÷ 200 units = $8 per unit Cost of goods sold = Number of units sold = Manufacturing cost per unit Cost of goods sold = 50 units × $8 per unit = $400 Net income = Sales − Cost of goods sold − Selling and administrative expenses Net income = (50 units × $12 per unit) − $400 − $80 = $120

Tisdale Company started the year with the following beginning account balances: Raw Materials Inventory, $42,000; Work in Process Inventory, $90,000; and Finished Goods Inventory, $20,000. During the year, the company purchased $60,000 of raw materials and ended the year with $16,000 of raw materials. Direct labor costs for the year were $120,000 and a total of $36,000 of manufacturing overhead costs were incurred. Ending work in process was $82,000 and ending finished goods was $35,000. Goods were sold to customers during the year for $360,000. How much gross margin would be reported for the year?

$125,000 Direct raw materials used = Beginning raw materials inventory + Purchases − Ending raw materials inventory Direct raw materials used = $42,000 + $60,000 − $16,000 = $86,000 Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct labor + Actual overhead costs Total manufacturing costs = $86,000 + $120,000 + $36,000 = $242,000 Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + Total manufacturing costs − Ending work in process Cost of goods manufactured = $90,000 + $242,000 − $82,000 = $250,000 Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured − Ending finished goods Cost of goods sold = $20,000 + $250,000 − $35,000 = $235,000 Gross margin = Sales − Cost of goods sold Gross margin = $360,000 − $235,000 = $125,000

$165,000. Budgeted purchases of inventory = Budgeted cost of goods sold + Desired ending inventory − Beginning inventory Budgeted purchases of inventory in February = Budgeted cost of goods sold + (Budgeted cost of goods sold in March × 25%) − (Budgeted cost of goods sold in February × 25%) Budgeted purchases of inventory in February = $180,000 + ($120,000 × 25%) − ($180,000 × 25%) = $180,000 + $30,000 − $45,000 = $165,000

Hilliard Company budgeted the following transactions for April Year 2: Sales (75% collected in month of sale)$200,000 Cash operating expenses 105,000 Cash purchases of investments 75,000 Cash payment of debt 15,000 Depreciation on operating assets 12,000 The beginning cash balance was $50,000. The company desires to have a $25,000 ending cash balance. The surplus (or shortage) of cash before considering any borrowings in April would be:

$20,000 shortage. Projected ending cash balance (before borrowing, if any) = Beginning cash balance + Cash receipts − Cash payments Projected ending cash balance (before borrowing, if any) = $50,000 + ($200,000 × 75%) − ($105,000 + $75,000) − $15,000 = $50,000 + $150,000 − $180,000 − $15,000 = $5,000 Since the projected ending cash balance (before borrowing, if any) = $5,000 and the company's desired ending cash balance is $25,000, the company has a $20,000 cash shortage.

At its $40 selling price, Atlantic Company has sales of $20,000, variable manufacturing costs of $5,000, fixed manufacturing costs of $2,000, variable selling and administrative costs of $4,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs of $2,000. What is the company's contribution margin per unit?

$22 First, determine the number of units sold:Number of units sold = Sales ÷ Selling price per unitNumber of units sold = $20,000 ÷ $40 per unit = 500 unitsThen, determine the variable cost per unit:Variable cost per unit = (Variable manufacturing costs of $5,000 + Variable selling and administrative costs of $4,000) ÷ 500 units = $18 per unitFinally, determine the contribution margin per unit:Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit − Variable costs per unitContribution margin per unit = $40 per unit − $18 per unit = $22 per unit

The total cash collection from receivables in March is expected to be:

$39,600. March collections = (February sales × Percent collected in month following month of sale) + (March sales × Percent collected in month of sale) March collections = ($36,000 × 60%) + ($45,000 × 40%) = $21,600 + $18,000 = $39,600

Wu Company incurred $58,000 of fixed cost and $69,600 of variable cost when 2,400 units of product were made and sold. If the company's volume increases to 2,900 units, the total cost per unit will be:

$49.00. Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost ÷ Number of unitsVariable cost per unit = $69,600 ÷ 2,400 units = $29.00 per unitTotal cost per unit = Fixed cost per unit + Variable cost per unitTotal cost per unit = ($58,000 ÷ 2,900 units) + $29.00 per unit = $49.00 per unit

Tucker Company's work in process account decreased by $1,000, while its Finished Goods Inventory account increased by $500. Assuming total manufacturing costs were $5,000, what was the company's cost of goods sold amount?

$5,500 If the inventory balances increased, the ending balances are more than the beginning balances and vice versa. Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + Total manufacturing costs − Ending work in process Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + $5,000 − (Ending work in process − $1,000) Cost of goods manufactured = $5,000 + $1,000 = $6,000 Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured − Ending finished goods Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods + $6,000 − (Beginning finished goods + $500) Cost of goods sold = $6,000 − $500 = $5,500

Select the correct statement from the following.

A fixed cost structure offers greater risk but higher opportunity for profitability than does a variable cost structure. Shifting the cost structure from fixed to variable reduces not only the level of risk but also the potential for profits.

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

A predetermined overhead rate is calculated using actual cost and volume data.

A price equivalent to the hammock's variable manufacturing cost per unit If the relevant revenue exceeds the relevant (avoidable) costs, the special order should be accepted. As such, the minimum selling price should equal the relevant cost per unit. The relevant costs in a special order decision are the unit-level and batch-level costs that will be incurred if the special order is accepted. In this situation, the variable manufacturing cost per unit is the relevant cost.

At the break-even point:

Both sales would be equal to total costs and contribution margin would be equal to total fixed costs are correct. Since net income is zero at the breakeven point, sales would be equal to total costs and contribution margin would be equal to total fixed costs. However, sales would not be equal to fixed costs.

companies A and B are in the same industry and are identical except for cost structure. At a volume of 50,000 units, the companies have equal net incomes. When sales at both companies increase to 60,000 units, Company A's net income would be substantially higher than B's. Based on this information,

Company A's cost structure has higher fixed costs than B's.

Companies A and B are in the same industry and are identical except for cost structure. At a volume of 50,000 units, the companies have equal net incomes. When sales at both companies increase to 60,000 units, Company A's net income would be substantially higher than B's. Based on this information,

Company A's cost structure has higher fixed costs than B's. When sales change, the amount of the corresponding change in net income is directly influenced by the company's cost structure. The more fixed cost, the greater the fluctuation in net income. Since Company A's net income is substantially higher than Company B's when both companies experience an equal increase in sales, Company A has a fixed cost structure while Company B has a variable cost structure.

The costs and revenues associated with each are listed below: Contract X Contract ZContract Revenue$200,000 $260,000 Materials 10,000 10,000 Labor 88,000 120,000 Depreciation on Equipment 8,000 10,000 Cost Incurred for Consulting Advice 1,500 1,500 Allocated Portion of Overhead 5,000 3,000 The equipment was purchased last year and has no resale value. Which of these amounts is relevant for the selection of one contract over another?

Contract revenue and labor cost Since the contract revenue differs among the alternatives, it is a differential revenue. Since the labor cost differs among the alternatives, it is a differential cost. The following are not relevant to this decision for the reasons stated. The materials and cost incurred for consulting advice do not differ among the alternatives. The book value of the asset and associated depreciation is based on a sunk cost that cannot be avoided because it has already been incurred and therefore is not relevant to current decisions. There is no indication that the allocated portion of the overhead can be avoided.
