Kator Co. is a manufacturer of industrial components. One of their products that is used as a subcomponent in auto manufacturing is KB-96. This product has the following financial structure per unit.KatorCo. has received a special, one-time order for 1,000 KB-96 parts. Assume that Kator is operating at full capacity and that the contribution margin of the output that would be displaced by the special order is $10,000. Using the original data, the minimum price that is acceptable for this one-time special order is in excess of
Answer(s): A
Given no excess capacity, the price must cover the incremental costs. The incremental costs for KB-96 equal $50 ($20 direct materials + $15 direct labor + $12 variable overhead + $3 shipping and handling).Opportunity cost is the benefit of the next best alternative use of scarce resources. Because acceptance of the special order would cause the company to forgo a contribution margin of $10,000, that amount must be reflected in the price. Hence, the minimum unit price is $60 [$50 unit incremental cost +($10,000 lost CM / 1,000 units )].
In joint-product costing and analysis, which one of the following costs is relevant when deciding the point at which a product should be sold to maximize profits?
Joint products are created from processing a common input. Common costs are incurred prior to the split-off point and cannot be identified with a particular joint product. As a result, common costs are irrelevant to the timing of sale. However, separable costs incurred after the split-off point are relevant because, if incremental revenues exceed the separable costs, products should be processed further, not sold at the split-off point.
A firm produces two joint products (A and B) from one unit of raw material, which costs $1,000. Product A can be sold for $700 and product B can be sold for $500 at the split-off point. Alternatively, both A and/or B can be processed further and sold for $900 and $1 ,200, respectively. The additional processing costs are $100 for A and $750 for B. Should the firm process products A and B beyond the split-off point?
Answer(s): C
The incremental costs ($100) for A are less than the incremental revenue ($200). However, the incremental costs of B ($750) exceed the incremental revenue ($700). Consequently, the firm should process A further and sell B at the split-off point.
Copeland Inc. produces X-547 in a joint manufacturing process. The company is studying whether to sell X-547 at the split-off point or upgrade the product to become Xylene. The following information has been gathered:I). Selling price per pound of X-547II). Variable manufacturing costs of upgrade processIll). Avoidable fixed costs of upgrade processIV). Selling price per pound of XyleneV). Joint manufacturing costs to produce X-547Which items should be reviewed when making the upgrade decision?
Answer(s): B
Common, or joint, costs cannot be identified with a particular joint product. By definition, joint products have common costs until the split-off point. Costs incurred after the split-off point are separable costs. The decision to continue processing beyond split- off is made separately for each product. The costs relevant to the decision are the separable costs because they can be avoided by selling at the split-off point. They should be compared with the incremental revenues from processing further. Thus, items I). (revenue from selling at split-off point), II). (variable costs of upgrade), Ill). (avoidable fixed costs of upgrade), and IV). (revenue from selling after further processing) are considered in making the upgrade decision.
N-Air Corporation uses a joint process to produce three products: A, B, and C, all derived from one input. The company can sell these . products at the point of split-off (end of the joint process) or process them further. The joint production costs during October were $10,000. N-Air allocates joint costs to the products in proportion to the relative physical volume of output. Additional information is presented in the opposite column.Assuming that all products were sold at the split-off point during October, the gross profit from the production process would be
Answer(s): D
If all products are sold at split-off, the gross profit is computed as follows:Product A (1,000 x $4.00) $ 4,000Product B (2,000 x $2.25) 4,500Product C (1,500 x $3.00) 4,500Total sales $13,000Joint costs (10,000)Gross profit $ 3,000

question 4 answer is c. this site shows the correct answer as b. "adopt a consumption model" is clearly a cost optimization design principle. looks like im done using this site to study!!!
number 52 answer is d
just started preparing for my exam , and this site is so much help
question 35 is incorrect, the correct answer is c, it even states so: explanation: when a vm is infected with ransomware, you should not restore the vm to the infected vm. this is because the ransomware will still be present on the vm, and it will encrypt the files again. you should also not restore the vm to any vm within the companys subscription. this is because the ransomware could spread to other vms in the subscription. the best way to restore a vm that is infected with ransomware is to restore it to a new azure vm. this will ensure that the ransomware is not present on the new vm.
