Answer:

B) Increase the unit contribution margin by decreasing the MTBF

Explanation:

Since Beetle is already competitive in terms of awareness and price, it would be unnecessary to decrease the price or increase awareness, as it could even result in a financial loss.

By decreasing the MTBF (mean time between failures), the company's operations become a lot more efficient. That results in the <u>faster coverage of fixed costs.</u>

The unit contribution margin shows us the share of the product unit price that is aimed to cover fixed costs (it is not consumed by variable costs). Therefore, decreasing the MTBF would improve the unit contribution margin and thus propel a more efficient operating system, where more products will be produced and more profit will be generated with each item sold.

Answer:

Accrued Interest - $5,333.33

Explanation:

At the end of the year, due to the matching principle, expenses of the same period need to be matched with that period and 'expensed' in the same year.

In the scenario above there has been 4 months out of 9 used in the current year, hence as at December 31st. 4 months interest will be included in the current year and 5 months interest will be attributable to the following future.

4 months / 9 months * 6% * 200,000 = $5333.33

In consonance with the <em>accrual basis of accounting</em>, the amount of accrued interest that will be recorded with adjusting entries will be:

Dr Interest expense - 5,333.33

Cr    Accrued Interest -   5,333.33

a lawnmower manufacturer has the following loss distribution for its annual products liability costs: loss probability 250,000 0
Bas_tet [7]

Answer: $12,000

Explanation:

The question makes no sense in one area. The loss probability for $0 cannot be 90% because the other two are collectively 20%. I shall therefore assume that the loss probability for $0 is 80% so that they add up to 100%.

Expected claim cost = ∑[loss probability * (Loss - Deductible)]

= 0.9 * 0 + [0.15 * (10,000 - 10,000)] + [0.05 * (250,000 - 10,000)]

= $12,000
