40 each. The distributors’ margins are 25%. Mettel Products’ cost of goods sold is $10.00 each. Mettel’s total variable costs (including selling costs) are $15.00 per drive. What is the gross margin (in percentage) enjoyed by Mettel Products on its drives? [Note: A firm’s margin on a product is typically calculated as a percentage of the firm’s selling price.] Mettel is considering increasing its annual advertising spending from $75,000 to $150,000. How many additional flash drives would it need to sell in a year in order to break-even? Now if instead of increasing its advertising spending, Mettel decides to reduce its price by $3 per drive, how many additional units would it need to sell in order to break even?

Mettel Products sells 100,000 flash drives annually to industrial distributors who resell the drives to business customers for $40 each. The distributors’ margins are 25%. Mettel Products’ cost of goods sold is $10.00 each. Mettel’s total variable costs (including selling costs) are $15.00 per drive.

The following transactions were completed by the company
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation is As follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

Statement (a)

With the cash collected there will be increase in assets by $6,700

And with the recognition of revenue there will be increase in stockholder's equity as retained earnings will increase by the amount $6,700,

Assets increase $6,700  = Liabilities + Stockholder's equity increase $6,700.

Statement (b)

Revenue is recognized and with that retained earnings will increase, and accordingly stockholder's equity will also increase by $5,200,

As the cash is not realized now, accounts receivables increase and accordingly, assets increase by $5,200.

Statement (c)

Cash paid as wages will reduce cash and accordingly assets by $2,000,

Also , with the recognition of expense, retained earnings will reduce and accordingly stockholder's equity will reduce by $2,000.

Statement (d)

This will increase the cash and decrease the accounts receivable by $2,600.

Thus on the assets side there will be + $2,600 and - $2,600 making it neutral.

No effect on the right side, as net effect on left side of equation = 0

Statement (e)

Cash paid for cleaning expense will decrease assets by $940,

And also this will decrease retained earnings and accordingly stockholder's equity will decrease by $940.
