Answer

Derivation

$650,000 + $50,000 + $75,000 = $775,000.

2.

$6,000 ($3,000 + $2,000) = $1,000.

3.

(100 $4.20) + (30 $4.40) = $552.

4.

100 + 350 + 70 130 = 390 units

(100 $4.20) + (290 $4.40) = $1,696.

5.

6.

$290,000 1.25 = $232,000

($220,000 1) + ($12,000 1.07) = $232,840.
$325,000 1.30 = $250,000
($220,000 1) + ($12,000 1.07) + ($18,000 1.3) = $256,240.

NRV = $20 $4 = $16, RC = $17

NRV PM = $16 ($20 .40) = $8, cost = $18.
COGS = $300,000 1.25 = $240,000
($220,000 + $172,000 $8,000) $240,000 = $144,000.
COGS = $2,000,000 .75 = $1,500,000
$800,000 + $1,600,000 $1,500,000 = $900,000.
($15,000 40%) + $13,000 + ($7,600 $6,400) = $20,200.

10.

11.

$198,000 + $1,100,000 + $24,000 $1,050,000 $36,000 = $236,000;

($130,000 + $685,000 + $43,000) ($198,000 + $1,100,000 + $24,000) =
.649; $236,000 .649 = $153,164.

12.

$385,000 [($60,000 + $80,000) 2] = 5.5; 365 5.5 = 66.4.

13.

$122,000 + $415,000 $2,000 + $15,000 $20,000 $390,000 = $140,000.
