butalik [34]

Answer:

Part A. The amount of purchases budgeted for July is calculated below:

Amount of purchases = Cost of goods sold + Closing inventory - Opening inventory

Amount of purchases = ($320,000 x 1.09) + $34,000 - $33,000

Amount of purchases = $348,800 + $34,000 — $33,000

Amount of purchases = $349,800

Therefore, the amount of purchases budgeted for July is $349,800.

Part B. The amount of cash payments budgeted for inventory purchases in July is calculated below:

Amount of cash paid in July = Opening accounts receivable + 75% of purchases in July

Amount of cash paid in July = $37,000 + ($349,800 × 0.75)

Amount of cash paid in July = $37,000 + $262,350

Amount of cash paid in July = $299,350

Therefore, the amount of cash paid in July is $299,350.

The Warren Watch Company sells watches for $21, fixed costs are $180,000, and variable costs are $15 per watch.

enyata [817]

Answer:

5,000 watches : $150,000 loss

20,000 watches: $60,000 (Loss)

Break-even point = 30,000 units

if the selling price rises to 32 = break even points descends to 10,588 units

If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26 , the break even point goes back to 30,000units.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Profit = Revenue -cost

Where the revenue is equal to the units sold (x) multiplied by the selling price,

R = 21 x

And cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable costs.

C = 15x + 1800

So:

P = 21x-(15x +180,000)

P = x ( 21-15)- 180,000

For 5,000 watches:

P = 5000(21-15)-180,000

P = 5000(6) -180,000

P= 30,000-180,000

P=-$150,000 (loss , since is negative )

For 20,000 watches:

P = 20,000(6) -180,000

P = 120,000-180,000

P=-$60,000 (Loss)

To find the break even point:

R = C

21x = 15x + 180,000

21x-15x =180,000

6 x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000 units

if the selling price rises to 32

32x = 15x + 180,000

32x-15x = 180,000

17x =180,000

x = 180,000/17

x = 10,588 units

It descends,

If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26

32x = 26x+180,000

32x-26x = 180,000

6x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000

The break-even point comes back to 30,000 units.
