Answer:

C. increase by about 6 percent.

Explanation:

Since,

\text{Contribution margin ratio}=\frac{\text{Sales-Variable expenses}}{\text{Sales}}

Sales = $ 120,

Original expenses = $ 65

Thus, contribution margin ratio = \frac{120-65}{120}=\frac{55}{120}=0.4583\approx 0.46

New expenses = $ 58,

Thus, contribution margin ratio = \frac{120-58}{120} = \frac{62}{120}=0.5166\approx 0.52

∵ 52 - 46 = 6,

Hence, the CMR is increased by 6%.

OPTION C is correct.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$600 million

Explanation:

On January 1, 2020, the balance of common stock & APIC

Common stock & APIC = Paid-In Capital + Share Capital raised by issuing 50 million shares at $20 per share - Treasury Stock

Here

Paid-In Capital is $500 millions

Issue of 50 million shares at $20

Treasury Stock is 20 million shares at $45 per share

By putting the values, we have:

Common stock & APIC = $500 million + $1000 million - (20 million shares * $45 per share)

Common stock & APIC = $1500 millions - $900 million = $600 million

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

accounts payable 128,500

Explanation:

To answer we must determine how much is the amount of purchases needed for the month of June.

It is not interesting the debt that is generated in previous months since they are paid in full, so in May the purchases of the month of May will already be canceled, so they will not impact the suppliers account.

June  

Purchases=  190,000 x 0.85 + (inventory cost of sales of the month) + 80,000 (inventory at the end of the month)  + 260,000 x 10% (inventory at the end of the month) = 276,500,

But according to the company's policy at the beginning of the month the inventory was equal to

80,000 + 190,000x10% (June sales) = 99,000

So the purchases necessary to meet the costs of sale and comply with the policy of the owner at closing is the same

267.500(inventory needed) - 99.000( initial existence) = 168.500

<u>the record will be </u>

Inventory      168,500

Cash                           43,810

accounts paylable    124,690

The following budgeted information is provided: Month 1 2 3 Sales in units 15,000 20,000 18,000 Production in units 16,000 22,00
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Purchases= 17,200 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production in units:

Month 1= 16,000 units

Month 2= 22,000 units

One pound of materials is required for each finished unit.

The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 20% of the following month's production needs.

Beginning inventory= 3,200 lbs.

To calculate the direct material required, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 16,000 + 22,000*0.2 - 3,200

Purchases= 17,200 pounds
