Bronte Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $160,000. The acquisition included 6,000 units of product A, and 14,000 units of product B. Product A normally sells for $24 per unit, and product B for $8 per unit. If Bronte sells 2,000 units of A, what amount of gross profit should it recognize?
A.
$1,500.
B.
$4,500.
C.
$18,000.
D.
$9,500.
he sales value of A is (6,000 units X $24 each) $144,000 and B is (14,000 units X $8 each) $112,000 totaling $256,000. Thus, the cost allocated to A based on relative sales values is ($144,000 / $256,000) 56.25% of the $160,000 or $90,000. The cost per unit of A is ($90,000/6,000) $15.00 making 2,000 units worth $30,000. Revenues of $48,000 less $30,000 results in a gross profit of $18,000.
Crown Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $60,000. The acquisition included 3,000 units of product X001, and 3,000 units of product X002. X001 normally sells for $20 per unit, and X002 for $10 per unit. If Crown sells 1,000 units of X002, what amount of gross profit should it recognize?
A.
$1,000.
B.
$3,330.
C.
$6,670.
D.
$10,000.
The sales value of X001 is (3,000 X $20 each) $60,000 and the X002 units are (3,000 X $10 each) $30,000 totaling $90,000. Thus, the cost allocated to X002 based on relative sales values is ($30,000/$90,000) 33.33% of the $60,000 or $20,000. The cost per unit of X002 is ($20,000/3,000) $6.67 making 1,000 units worth $6,670. Revenues of $10,000 less cost of $6,670 results in a gross profit of $3,330.
