High country, inc., produces and sells many recreational products. the company has just opened a new plant to produce a folding camp cot that will be marketed throughout the united states. the following cost and revenue data relate to may, the first month of the plant’s operation: beginning inventory 0 units produced 40,000 units sold 35,000 selling price per unit $ 83 selling and administrative expenses: variable per unit $ 3 fixed (per month) $ 570,000 manufacturing costs: direct materials cost per unit $ 15 direct labor cost per unit $ 10 variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit $ 3 fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month) $ 720,000 management is anxious to assess the profitability of the new camp cot during the month of may. required: 1. assume that the company uses absorption costing. a. determine the unit product cost. b. prepare an income statement for may. 2. assume that the company uses variable costing. a. determine the unit product cost. b. prepare a contribution format income statement for may.

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units produced 40,000 Units sold 35,000

Selling price per unit $ 83

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable per unit $ 3

Fixed (per month) $ 570,000

Manufacturing costs:

Direct materials cost per unit $ 15

Direct labor cost per unit $ 10

Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit $ 3

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (per month) $ 720,000

1) A) Absorption costing= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + fixed overhead

Absorption costing= 15 + 10 + 3 + (720,000/40,000)= $46

B) Income statement:

Sales= 35,000* 83= 2,905,000

COGS= 46*35,000= (1,610,000)

Gross profit= 1,295,000

Selling and administrative expenses= 3*35,000 + 570,000= (675,000)

Net operating income= 620,000

2) A) variable cost=  direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + variable selling and administrative

unitary variable cost= 15 + 10 + 3 + 3= 31

B) income statement:

Sales= 2,905,000

Variable cost= 31*35,000= (1,085,000)

Contribution margin= 1,820,000

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost= (720,000)

Fixed selling and administrative= (570,000)

Net operating income= 530,000

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.
