Problem Set 1 The following are estimates relating to the 2020 budget of Thermo Blast that produces specialized ornaments for the Caribbean: Selling Price--- Variable cost per Ornament- Fixed annual cost--- Nett Profit (After tax)- Income tax rate----- -$1500 -$700 -$120000 -$800000 -25% The mid-year review of the income statement revealed that sales were not at the expected level. For the six months of the year to June 2020, 320 units were sold at the estimated selling price with variable cost as planned. However, the net profit projection for 2020 would not be achieved unless management decisions are made. The following mutually exclusive alternatives were presented to management: Required: Part A a) The selling price should be reduced by $150. This reduction in selling price will allow 1500 units to be sold for the balance of the year. The budgeted fixed cost and variable cost per unit will remain unchanged. b) The variable cost per unit will be reduced by $50 by sourcing less expensive direct material. Also, the selling price will be reduced by $200 and the expected sales for the balance of the year is 1300 units. c) The fixed cost would be reduced by$20000 and the selling price by 5%. Variable cost will remain unchanged and 1200 units are expected to be sold for the balance of the year.

Problem Set 2 Carrie's Limited has two departments, the assembly department and the testing department in its brake-pad manufacturing plant, where each brake-pad is conveyed through each department. Carrie's process-costing system consist of two cost categories: Single direct cost (direct materials) and a single indirect-cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each brake-pad, it is immediately transferred to testing. Carrie's uses the weighted-average method of process costing. Data for the assembly department for October 2019 are as follows: Work in process, October 1* Started during October 2019 Physical Units (Brake Pads) 6,000 21,000 Completed during October 2019 23,500 Direct Materials $1,200,000 Conversion Costs $ 400,750
