Explanation:
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead
Unit product cost= $71
Now, the total sales and total variable cost:
Total sales= 4,300*137= $589,100
Total variable cost= 4,300*71= $305,300
Finally, the variable costing margin:
Variable costing margin= total sales - total variable cost
Variable costing margin= 589,100 - 305,300
Variable costing margin= $283,800

What will most likely occur if a company eliminates an unprofitable segment when a portion of fixed costs are unavoidable?
a. All expenses of the eliminated segment will be eliminated.
b. Net income will decrease.
c. Net income will increase.
d. The company's variable costs will increase.
Answer: b. Net income will decrease.
Explanation:
The unavoidable fixed costs were being covered by the unprofitable segment so if the segment is removed, the unavoidable fixed cost will have to be deducted from the profits of the other segment/s.
When this happens their profit will decrease because those segments will now be covering more fixed costs than before. This is why it is usually better to keep an unprofitable segment going if it incurs unavoidable fixed costs.

Use the following selected information from Wheeler, LLC to determine the 2017 and 2016 common size percentages for cost of goods sold using Net sales as the base.
2017 2016
Net sales $522,200 $423,400
Cost of goods sold 219,400 135,440
Operating expenses 79,990 $77,090
Net earnings 40,420 28,670
a. 42.0% for 2017 and 32.0% for 2016.
b. 7.7% for 2017 and 6.8% for 2016.
c. 123.3% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.

Common size % for cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold/Net sales
For 2017
= $219,400 / $522,200
= 0.4201456

Synovec Company is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 30 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.65, what is the current share price
Answer:
$87.03
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current share price
First step is to calculate p1
p1= $2.65(1+.30)^3(1+.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1= $2.65(1.30)^3(1.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1=6.054932/.06
p1=100.92
Now let calculate the Current price
p0= [$2.65(1.30) / 1.10] +[$2.65(1.30)^2 / 1.10^2] + [$2.65(1.30)^3 / 1.10^3] + [$100.92/ 1.10^3]
p0=3.1318+4.4782/1.21+5.82205/1.331+$100.92/1.331+
p0=3.1318+3.700992+4.37419+75.82
p0=$87.03
Therefore the current share price is $87.03

In the United States, if the price of imported oil rises so that the prices of gasoline and heating oil rise, then the a. consumer price index rises much more than does the GDP deflator. b. consumer price index rises slightly more than does the GDP deflator. c. GDP deflator rises much more than does the consumer price index. d. GDP deflator and the consumer price index rise by about the same amount.
Answer: a. consumer price index rises much more than does the GDP deflator.
Explanation:
The Consumer Price Index is a measure of inflation. It shows the change in the prices of a basket of goods over a period of time. If the prices of gasoline and heating oil rise, this basket will be affected and so Consumer Price Index (CPI) will increase.
GDP deflator on the other hand, adjusts the nominal GDP to a Real GDP measure. Not everything will increase in price in the country as a result of oil going up so GDP will not change by much which would limit the increase in the GDP deflator.
The CPI will therefore rise more than the GDP deflator.

MC Qu. 135 Front Company had net income of... Front Company had net income of $86,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 2,200 units and 4,000 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $8.60 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
Explanation:
Below is the following calculation:
Net income based on variable costing = $86500
Rise in inventory = (4000 - 2200) x 8.60 = $15480
Now find the net income under absorption costing by adding the rise in inventory in the net income based on variable costing.
Net income under absorption costing = $86500 + $15480
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
