Question

Baskin Promotions, Incorporated sells T-shirts decorated for a variety of concert performers. The company has developed the following budget for the coming year based on a sales forecast of 77,000 T-shirts: Sales $ 1,345,190 Cost of Goods Sold 786,940 Gross Profit 558,250 Operating Expenses ($100,000 is fixed) 406,460 Operating Income 151,790 Income Taxes (30% of operating income) 45,537 Net Income $ 106,253 Cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales, and the income tax rate is 30% at all levels of operating income. If the concert season is slow due to poor weather, Baskin estimates that sales could fall to as low as 57,000 T-shirts. What unit cost did Baskin use in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year

Answer 1

$10.22

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the unit cost used in budgeting the cost of goods sold for the year is shown below;

= Cost of goods sold ÷ number of t-shirts

= $786,940 ÷ 77,000 shirts

= $10.22

By dividing the number of t-shirts from the cost of goods sold we can get the cost of goods sold per unit

hence, the answer is $10.22
