Answer Answer) 1) If 2 pounds of direct materials are used to make one unit of finished product, then 115,000 units × 2 lbs, or 230,000 lbs were used at $0.65 per lb of direct materials i.e. ($149,500 ÷ 230,000 lbs.). The Formula for calculating Ending Direct Material Cost = [Ending Direct Material Inventory * Cost per lb] Therefore, Ending Direct Materials cost is 1,900 lbs. * $0.65 = $1,235. 2) Manufacturing Costs for 115,000 units Variable Fixed Total Direct materials costs – $149,500 + Direct manufacturing labor costs – 31,500 + Plant energy costs – 3,000 + Indirect manufacturing labor costs (Variable + Fixed) i.e. 15,000+12,000 - 27,000 + Other indirect manufacturing costs (Variable + Fixed) i.e. 10,000+32,000 - 42,000 So, Cost of goods manufactured - $253,000 Average unit manufacturing cost = $253,000 ÷ 115,000 units = $2.20 per unit Finished Goods Inventory at Dec. 31, 2014 = $15,400 Therefore Finished goods inventory total units = $15400 / $2.20 = 7,000 units 3) Units sold in 2014 = Beginning inventory + Production – Ending inventory = 0 + 115,000 –7,000 = 108,000 units Therefore, Selling price in 2014 = Total Revenues / Units Sold = $583,200 ÷ 108,000 = $5.40 per unit 4) Operating Income for 2014 Revenues(108,000 units sold × $5.40) = $583,200 Cost of units sold: Beginning finished goods, Jan. 1, 2014 = $0 Cost of goods manufactured = $253,000 Cost of goods available for sale = $253,000 Ending finished goods, Dec. 31, 2014 = $15,400 So, Cost of Units sold ($253000 - $15400) = $237,600 Therefore, Gross margin = Total Revenue - Cost of Units Sold = $583,200 - $237,600 = $345,600 Operating costs: Marketing, distribution, and customer-service costs Variable + Fixed i.e. ($126,000 + $48,000) = $174,000 Administrative costs = $57000 Total Operating Costs = $231,000 Therefore Operating income for 2014 = $345600 - $231,000 = $114600 Likes: 3 Dislikes: 0
