A company's Inventory balance at 12/31/16 was $188,000 and $200,000 at 12/31/15. Its Accounts Payable balance at 12/31/16 was $8

slava [35]

Answer:

3) $704,000

Explanation:

The procedure will be as follow:

Based on the company's inventory we will determinate the purchases.

And then, with the account payable balance, the cash payment

First, purchases amount:

beginning inventory + purchase = ending inventory + COGS

200,000 + purchase = 188,000 + 720,000

purchases = 720,000 + 188,000 - 200,000 = 708,000

Now, we solve for payment to suppliers

begging AP + purchase - payment = ending

80,000 + 708,000 - payment = 84,000

payment = 80,000 + 708,000 - 84,000

payment= 704,000

Pizza Vesuvio makes specialty pizzas. Data for the past 8 months were collected: Month Labor Cost($) Employee Hours January 9,29

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

1. $2,296

2. $19.58

3. Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

1. The fixed cost would be

= High labor cost - (High employee hours × Variable rate per hour)

= $10,324 - (410 hours × $19.58)

= $10,324 - $8,028

= $2,296

2. Variable rate per hour = (High labor cost - low labor cost) ÷ (High employee hours - low employee hours)

= ($10,324 - $6,800) ÷ (410 hours - 230 hours)

= $3,524 ÷ 180 hours

= $19.58

3. The cost formula would be

Total labor cost = Fixed cost + (variable cost × employee hour)

= $2,296 + ($19.58 × employee hour)

belka [17]

Answer:

$6,300

Explanation:

The computation of expenses that can be deducted is shown below:-

Expenses that can be deducted = Fee paid for club after getting contract(for 5 months) + Replacement cost + Travelling

= ($1,000 × 5) + $500 + $800

= $6,300

Therefore for computing the expenses that can be deducted we simply add Fee paid for club after getting contract, replacement cost and travelling and the rest amount is not relevant for computation.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Break Even Point

In Units = 2,000 units

In value = $80,000

Explanation:

Break even Point = $\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution}$

When we use contribution per unit, we get the break even point in units sales.

When we use the contribution margin as a percentage of sales we get break even sales in value.

Contribution per unit = $20

Contribution margin in percentage = $20/$40 = 50%

Therefore, Break even Point in units = $\frac{40,000}{20} = 2,000$

Break even units = 2,000

Break Even Point in value = $\frac{40,000}{0.50} = 80,000$

Sales to be made in value at break even = $80,000
