Explanation / Answer

Since, multiple questions have been posted, I have answered the first three.

____

Question 1:

3,000. (which is Option B)

_____

Explanation:

For materials, the equivalent units in ending WIP Inventory for materials would be taken at 100%. Therefore, the number of equivalents units will be calculated as follows:

Equivalent Units in Ending WIP Inventory for Materials = 3,000*100% = 3,000 units

_____

Question 2:

Fixed costs remain constant in total and decrease per unit as production increases. (which is Option C)

_____

Explanation:

Total fixed costs remain constant irrespective of the level of production. Therefore, as production increases, the per unit fixed cost decreases. This is demonstrated with the use of following example:

Let us assume that at a production level of 10,000 units, the total fixed cost is $120,000. At this level, the fixed cost per unit is $12 (120,000/10,000). If the production increases to 12,000 units, the total fixed cost will continue to be $120,000. However, fixed cost per unit will decrease to $10 per unit (120,000/12,000) indicating a decline of $2 per unit ($12-$10) with an increase in production level.

_____

Question 3:

The value of actual gross profit is calculated as follows:

Actual Gross Profit = (Sales - Cost of Goods Sold) + (Overhead Allocated - Actual Manufacturing Overhead)

Using the information provided in the question in the above formula, we get,

Actual Gross Profit = (585,700 - 335,900) + (105,300 - 91,900) = $263,200. (which is Option A)
