Answer:
Margin of safety=55.6%
Explanation:
The formula for the operating income is as folows;
operating income=Sales revenue-total cost
where;
operating income=$ 15,000
Sales revenue=S
total cost=variable cost+fixed cost
variable cost=70% of S=(70/100)×S=0.7 S
fixed cost=$12,000
replacing;
15,000=S-(0.7 S+12,000)
15,000+12,000=0.3 S
27,000=0.3 S
S=27,000/0.3
S=Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for the operating income is as follows;
operating income=Sales revenue-total cost
where;
operating income=$ 15,000
Sales revenue=S
total cost=variable cost+fixed cost
variable cost=70% of S=(70/100)×S=0.7 S
fixed cost=$12,000
replacing;
15,000=S-(0.7 S+12,000)
15,000+12,000=0.3 S
27,000=0.3 S
S=27,000/0.3
S=$90,000
Current sales=$90,000
The formula for margin of safety is as follows;
Margin of safety=(Current sales level-break even point sales level)/current sales levels
At break even,
Operating income=0
0=S-(0.7 S+12,000)
0=S-0.7 S-12,000
0.3 S=12,000
S=12,000/0.3
S=40,000
Break even sales=$40,000
replacing;
Margin of safety=((90,000-40,000)/90,000}×100
Margin of safety=55.6%
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry when the dividend is declared is shown below:
Cash Dividend A/c Dr $8,800 {(16,000 shares - 5,000 shares) × $0.80}
To Dividend payable A/c $8,800
(Being the dividend is declared)
for recording this we debited the cash dividend as it increased the balance of dividend and credited the dividend payable as it also increased the liabilities
Answer:
A) Competing firms working together to fix prices and output.
B) Collusion.
C) Illegal
Explanation:
A cartel is when a group of competing producers of a good collude together for their own economic good and benefits. They generally form oligopolistic market structures with coordination and thus can take decision on restricting production of a articular good and influencing prices for their own good.
A collusion thus helps a hand full of companies to dominate the market of a particular product that they all produce. They can even form artificial barriers to entry for new firms as they control all or most of the relevant market forces.
In USA cartels are illegal as per the provision of anti-trust laws.
Hope that helps.
