Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

For computing the fixed portion first we have to compute the variable portion using the high low method which is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High total monthly overhead costs - low total monthly overhead costs) ÷ (High number of yards - low number of yards)

= ($28,000 - $23,000) ÷ (32,000 yards - 24,000 yards)

= $5,000 ÷ 8,000 yards

= $0.625 per yard

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High total monthly overhead costs - (High number of yards × Variable cost per yard)

= $28,000 - (32,000 yards × $0.625)

= $28,000 - $20,000

= $8,000

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The auditor is entitled to collect the audit fee and is not liable for $90 000.

Explanation:

Ace & King did their job in a competent way, the fact that the company's controller was doing something illegal is not their responsibility. External auditors work with the information that is given to them and their job is limited to analyzing them and making their conclusions about them.

In this case, the controller was the person responsible for giving the information to the auditing company, so he had the chance to direct their conclusions. An external auditor is not responsible for what happens inside a firm, and if someone steals money or assets, he/she is responsible for it.

150-seat restaurant $8,000,000 is needed to construct the restaurant; no additional investment is needed in working capital.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The answer is $7400000

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

There is  no information is given about per unit cost or sales price hence, a reverse calculation is to be made to find out the projected total revenue.

Now,

The reverse calculation to find sales is computed as follows:

Begin from the expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost

Thus,

From the calculation of each term is as stated below:

1. The profit expected = 15% return on their investment. it is to be after tax return, total investment = $8000000,

So,

The Profit expected  = $8000000 *15% = $1200000.

2. The tax xxpenses = 25% that is, it should be 25% on taxable profit which is  decreased from it and then net profit after tax is available,

Thus,

we have net profit after tax we can compute the  taxable profit as = $1200000 / 75% = $1600000.  for example, tax amount on taxable profit = $160000 * 25% = $400000.

3. The Interest Expenses = 5% of borrowed fund from bank,

Now,

The  borrowed fund from bank = $2000000 (8000000-6000000)

The expenses interest = $ 100000 ($2000000*5%)

4. Undistributed Expenses is stated as follows:

The Undistributed expenses are given in the question = $2000000.

5. Variable cost that is the labor cost and cost of food :

From the question it is given that it is 50% of the sales, which means the remaining 50% is the contribution.

Now

The contribution on reverse calculation is  computed as:

Profit +taxes + Interest + fixed expenses

Contribution = 1200000 + 400000 + 100000 + 2000000 = $ 3700000,

Thus,

We say,let the sales be 10 , then variable cost be 50 and contribution is 50, that means variable cost = contribution in this case.

so, in proportional calculation , the variable cost = $3700000 .

Thus

The projected sales = expected profit + Tax expenses + Interest Expenses + undistributed expenses + variable cost

The total revenue projected =$1200000+ $ 400000 + $100000 + $ 2000000 +$ 3700000

Therefore, the total revenue projected = $ 7400000

Should a company pursue an unrelated diversification strategy, the types of companies that make particularly attractive acquisit
Vlada [557]

Many companies avoid unrelated diversification as a general business rule because of the lack of synergy that exists. When you have related diversity, you can more easily integrate your company brand, philosophies, resources, and partnerships to take full advantage.

<h3>Why would a company use unrelated diversification?</h3>

The benefits of unrelated diversification are rooted in two conditions:

(1) increased efficiency in cash management and in the allocation of investment capital and

(2) the capability to call on profitable, low-growth businesses to provide the cash flow for high-growth businesses that require significant infusions of cash.
