When is by-product/scrap cost considered in setting the predetermined overhead rate in a job order costing system? When is cost not considered?
In: Accounting
The graph below shows a particular firm's marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves, where the market is competitive. Suppose that a new management team is brought in and that this team is initially less concerned about maximizing profits than it is simply about making a profit. What range of production quantities will allow the firm to operate while earning a profit?
Give your answer by dragging the Qmin to Qmax lines into their correct positions. The output will need to lie somewhere betwen those limits.

A. $1,700.
B. $1,670.
C. $1,655.

B. debit to Cost of Goods Sold, $1,200.
C. debit to Accounts Receivable, $2,400.
D. credit to Sales Revenue, $2,400.

1b. At a price of $14, what is the profit-maximizing number the firm should produce each day? (note: Do not necessarily just look at economic profit. Look at marginal revenue and marginal cost. Pick the one where MR=MC).
2. 1f. What is the ATC associated with the profit-maximizing number you chose in 1b (and 1d)? (round to the nearest penny)
3. 2b. At a price of $10, What is the profit-maximizing number the firm should produce each day? (Again, do not necessarily just look at economic profit. Look at marginal revenue and marginal cost.)
4. 2c. What is the ATC associated with the profit-maximizing number you chose in 2b? (round to the nearest penny)
5. 2f. What are the total variable costs associated with the profit-maximizing number you chose in 2b? (round to the nearest penny)

Compute ending inventory and cost of goods sold for the current year under FIFO, LIFO, and average cost inventory costing methods.
In: Accounting
Patel and Sons Inc. uses a standard cost system to apply factory overhead costs to units produced. Practical capacity for the plant is defined as 50,000 machine hours per year, which represents 25,000 units of output. Annual budgeted fixed factory overhead costs are $250,000 and the budgeted variable factory overhead cost rate is $4 per unit. Factory overhead costs are applied on the basis of standard machine hours allowed for units produced. Budgeted and actual output for the year was 20,000 units, which took 41,000 machine hours. Actual fixed factory overhead costs for the year amounted to $245,000, while the actual variable overhead cost per unit was $3.90.
Based on the information provided above, provide an appropriate end-of-year closing entry for each of the following two independent situations: (a) the net factory overhead cost variance is closed entirely to Cost of Goods Sold (CSG), and (b) the net factory overhead variance is allocated among WIP Inventory, Finished Goods Inventory, and CGS using the following percentages: 10%, 20%, and 70%, respectively. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
Record the net variance closed to cost of goods sold.
Record the net variance allocated to ending inventories and Cost of goods sold.

a) Create a Tornado chart showing the effect on profit of each changing each individual input parameter value from its low value to its high value, when all other input parameter values are held at their base case. For this quick initial analysis assume the Low value for each parameter is 50% of its Base Case value and the High value is 150% of its Base Case value.
B)Explain the implications of this chart.
C)From the tornado chart, identify which input variable has the strongest influence on profit.
