Answer:
$6896551.7
Explanation:
Given the following :
Product R:
Selling price = $20
Variable cost = $6
Product S:
Selling price = $50
Variable cost = $30
Firm's fixed cost = $4, 000,000
Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /Contribution margin ratio)
Contribution margin : selling price - variable cost
Product R: $(20 - 6) = $14
Contribution margin ratio = ($14/$20) * 60% = 0.42
Product S: $(50 - 30) = $20
Contribution margin ratio = ($20/$50) * 40% = 0.16
Sum of contribution margin ratio for both products = (0.42 + 0.16) = 0.58
Break-even point dollars = (Fixed cost /sum of Contribution margin ratio)
= $4,000,000/0.58
= $6896551.7
The contribution margin approach helps managers in short-tern decision making because it reports costs and revenues at their current value.
The contribution margin ratio/approach allows companies to determine their profits they can make from a product minus variable costs.
Answer:
b. $588
Explanation:
Terms 2/10, n/30 means that 2% discount for the payment within 10 days and the full amount to be paid within 30 days.
When Larson Company sold merchandise, the following entry was made to recording revenue (sales) and the receivable:
Debit Receivable Account $1,000
Credit Revenue $1,000
On July 20 Stuart Co. returns merchandise, the entry is made to record the decreasing of Receivable Account:
Debit Revenue $400
Credit Receivable Account $400
The balance Receivable Account of Stuart Co. = $1000-$400 = $600
On July 24, Stuart Co. makes the payment, the sales discount was:
$600 x 2% = $12
The amount of cash received = $600-$12=$588
The following entry is made:
Debit Cash: $588
Debit Sales discount: $12
Credit Receivable Account $600
From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.
Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.
Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).
