Answer:

(1) $20,000 U

(2) $15,000 U

Explanation:

(1) Effect of the sales quantity variance on the contribution margin for November:

= (Budget dresses sold - Actual dresses sold) × (Budgeted contribution margin ÷ Budgeted dresses sold)

= (6,000 - 5,000) × (120,000 ÷ 6,000)

= $20,000 unfavorable

(2) Sales price variance for November:

= [(Budgeted sales ÷ Budget dresses sold) - (Actual sales ÷ Actual dresses sold)] × Actual dresses sold

= [(300,000 ÷ 6,000) - (235,000 ÷ 5000)] × 5000

= $15,000 unfavorable

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $7.50

Explanation:

Given that,

Total value = $950 million

Accounts payable = $100 million

Notes payable = $100 million

Long-term debt = $200 million

common equity = $200 million

shares of common stock = 100 million

Value of equity = Value of firm - Value of preferred stock - Value of long term debt.

= $950 million - 0 - $200 million

= $750 million

$Value\ of\ stock = \frac{Value\ of\ equity}{Number\ of\ shares}$

$Value\ of\ stock = \frac{750}{100}$
