Answer:
<u>Break-even Sales:</u>
Remo Company $128,346.17
Angelo Inc. $201,649.86.
Explanation:
Break-even Sales is the dollar amount of revenue at which there will be neither Profit nor Loss. In other words, it a Point at which Contribution Margin is equal to Fixed Costs. The Formula to Calculate Break-even Sales is:
Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio
where
Contribution Margin Ratio is Sales less Variable Expenses, and expressed as a percentage of Sales.
Remo Company
Contribution Margin Ratio = 75,000 / 275,000 = 27.27%
Break-even Sales = 35,000 / .2727 = $128,346.17
Angelo Inc.
Contribution Margin Ratio = 150,000 / 275,000 = 54.55%
Break-even Sales = 110,000 / .5455 = $201,649.86.
Answer:
$225,000
Explanation:
Federal corporate income tax (21% flat rate)
$1,000,000 x 21% = $210,000
Federal dividend tax (15%).
$100,000 x 15% = $15,000
Dividens are neither expenses nor deductible, so they do not reduce the amount of corporate taxable income. Therefore we must add up the two quantities.
$210,000 + $15,000 = $225,000
There are two different options I would give her:
1) You can use your credit card now if you know that within the 30 days of purchasing the T.V. (or how ever many days until interest accrues if sooner) you will have enough money to properly pay your card off so that you aren't charged interest. Once you add interest, the T.V. becomes a much larger expense overtime due to paying the interest. Also, if it's a card that you get cash back for, you can 'make money' essential on your purchase because you'll get cash back.
2) Wait for the raise, what if the raise doesn't happen? What if something unexpected happens and you've used all your funds for a T.V. that isn't a necessity. There are so many reason to wait and pay cash for something. In this situation I probably wouldn't use all of my appropriated emergency funds for a T.V. and save the extra money from the raise.
