Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Break-even point in dollar for 2017

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost)/Sales

C.M Ratio = $(2,500,000-1,750,000)/2,500,000

C.M Ratio = 0.30 or 30%

Break-even point in dollars = Fixed expense/C.M Ratio

B-E point ($) = $850,000/0.30

= $2,833,333.33

Alternative 1

Sales Price per unit after increasing 20%,

Sales Price = ($5*0.2) + $5 = $6

Total Sales ($) = (Sales Price x Sales Units)

Total Sales ($) = ($6*500,000) =$3,000,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = ($3,000,000- $1,750,000)/$3,000,000

C.M Ratio = 0.42 or 42%

Break-even point in dollars = Fixed expense/C.M Ratio

B-E point ($) = $850,000/0.42

= $2,023,809.52

Alternative 2

Commission = $2,500,000*5% = $125,000

Change in fixed annual salaries = $150,000-$60,000 = $90,000

Total fixed costs after deducting the changes in fixed salaries = $850,000-$90,000 = $760,000

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution Margin/Sales

C.M Ratio = (Sales - Variable Cost - Commission on sales)/Sales

C.M Ratio = ($2,500,000-$1,750,000-$125,000)/$2,500,000

C.M Ratio = 0.25 or 25%

Explanation:

Sales = $2,500,000

Sales Unit = $2,500,000/500,000 = $5

Variable Cost = 1,750,000

Fixed costs = $850,000

Contact [7]

Answer:

exist 139,200

Explanation:

Assume that Pell allocates manufacturing overhead based on machine hours, estimated 10,000 machine hours and exist 87,000 that implies that the standard cost per machine hour = exist 87,000 / 10,000 = 8.7 exist

Therefore the manufacturing overhead costs if Pell actually used 16,000 machine hours will be: 16000 x 8.7 = exist 139,200

According to the course materials, budgeting should be: a. Rigid with significant personal penalties if you miss your goal b. Ab

gavmur [86]

Answer:

C) Flexible

Explanation:

The whole concept behind budgeting is that future costs are estimated. As always when you estimate some future event, there is a fair chance that your estimate will be mistaken.

No matter how well thought, calculated and recalculated your budget is, it usually only serve as a parameter. The fact that budgeting is not exact is not always bad, since your business sales can be higher than expected, so your whole production and costs budgets will be wrong, but for a good reason.

That is why budgets must always be flexible and easily adaptable to changes, either good or bad changes.

aleksley [76]

Answer: Augmenting his income.

Explanation: Extra work means having an official fixed job and, in addition, after working hours, or in your free time (such as weekends), you dedicate yourself to other activities that can also generate income. Unlike what some people think, extra work does not need to be something completely different from what you usually do. Of course you can choose to formalize your hobby and earn money with it, but these tasks can also happen in other conventional work.
