Answer: equals sales revenue minus variable costs
Explanation: In simple words, contribution margin refers to the amount of revenue that an organisation is left with after paying for the variable expenses that are incurred for the generation of such revenue.
It is an important aspect of an organisation as it somehow depicts the ability of it to pay its fixed expenses like interests etc.
Answer:
The fixed cost at any level of activity is $48,000 while the variable cost per unit at any level of activity is $1.30
Explanation:
The total cost is a function of the fixed and variable cost. Whilst the fixed cost does not change at a certain range of activities level, the variable cost changes as the level of activities(units produced or sold).
Using the high and low levels of activities given, let the variable cost per unit be v and the fixed cost F
for the high level,
F + 90,000v = 165,000
For the low level
F + 40,000v = 100,00
Solving both equations simultaneously,
50,000v = 65,000
v = $1.30
F + 40,000($1.30) = 100,000
F = 100,000 - 52,000
F = $48,000
Answer:
b. $20,000
Explanation:
Goodwill = Investment in Subsidiary - (Asset With book value - Liability with book value) - (Fair value of Asset - Book value of Asset)
Goodwill = $95,000 - ($86,400 - $15,000) - ($90,000 - $86,400)
Goodwill = $95,000 - $71,400 - $3,600
Goodwill = $20,000
So, parent should record goodwill on this purchase of $20,000
Answer:
No goodwill impairment should be recognized by Orioles in 2018
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Goodwill related to the purchase = $741,000
Fair value of Special Products Division = $5,600,000
Goodwill existing on December 31, 2018 = $595,000
Now,
Here, the fair value of division including the goodwill i.e $5,600,000 is lower than the fair value of division excluding the goodwill i.e $595,000
Hence,
There will be impairment loss
Hence,
No goodwill impairment should be recognized by Orioles in 2018
