Answer:

1. Company-wide break-even point in dollar sales:

Break even point in dollar sales = (Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses) / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 240,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 30%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= (122,000 + 52,000) / 30%

= $580,000

2. Break-even point in dollar sales for the North region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 600,000 * 100%

= 20%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 20%

= $305,000

3. Break-even point in dollar sales for the South region.

Break even point in dollar sales = Traceable fixed costs / Contribution margin %

Contribution margin % = Contribution margin / Sales revenue * 100%

= 120,000 / 200,000 * 100%

= 60%

Break even point in dollar sales :

= 61,000 / 60%

= $101,666.67

Direct labor efficiency variance = (Standard hours for actual production - Actual hours) × Standard rate per hour

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor efficiency variance=(5,000 × 2 - $207,000 ÷ $18.00) × $20

Direct labor efficiency variance= (10000 - $11,500) × $20

Direct labor efficiency variance= $1,500 × $20

Direct labor efficiency variance= $30,000 unfavorable

Therefore The direct labor efficiency variance for October was $30,000 unfavorable

The monthly payments are equal so X is an annuity and as the payment is made immediately, this is an Annuity due.

Convert the interest rate into monthly figure:

= 3%/12

= 0.25%

Present value of annuity = Annuity * (( 1 - (1 + r)^-n ) / r) * (1 + r)

14,071 = Annuity * ((1 - (1 + 0.25%) ⁻¹²⁰) / 0.25%) * (1 + 0.25%)

14,071 = Annuity * 103.82

Annuity = 14,071 / 103.82

= $135.53

= $135
