5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses
gogolik [260]

Question Completion:

Due to erratic sales of its sole product - a high capacity battery for laptop computers - PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulties for some time.  The contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given as follows:

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000

Variable expenses                              409,500

Contribution margin                             175,500

Fixed expenses                                    180,000

Net operating margin                           ($4,500)

Answer:

PEM, Inc.

a1) New CM ratio = 40%

a2) Break-even point in unit sales and dollars sales

i) Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution per unit

= $237,000/$12

= 19,750 units

ii) Break-even point in dollars sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution margin ratio

= $237,000/0.4

= $592,500

b. Contribution format income statements, based on sales of 20,800 units:

                                                             Without                With

                                                         Automation         Automation

Sales (20,800 units at $30 per unit) $624,000    $624,000 (20,800 * $30)

Variable expenses (20,800 at $21)     436,800       374,400 (20,800 * $18)

Contribution margin (20,800 * $9)      187,200       249,600 (20,800 * $12)

Fixed expenses                                    180,000       237,000

Net operating margin                            $7,200       $12,600

c) I would recommend that the company should automate its operations.  It will generate more net operating margin, equal to $5,400 ($12,600 - $7,200), when it automates than when it does not, assuming that it expects to sell 20,800 units.  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses reduction = $3 per unit

Old variable expenses per unit = $21 ($409,500/19,500)

New variable expenses per unit = $18 ($21 - $3)

New variable expenses = $351,000 ($18 * 19,500)

New Contribution Margin per unit = $12 ($30 - $18)

New Contribution margin ratio = $12/$30 * 100 = 0.4 or 40%

Old Fixed Expenses = $180,000

New Fixed Expenses = $237,000 ($180,000 + $57,000)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The demand and the pull is the upward movement in the prices that follows a shortage in supply.  As per the economists, they describe it as the too many dollars that are followed by too few goods.  
  • Thus when the combined demand in the economy strongly is outweighed by the combined supply and thus the prices tend to go up. Hence the excessive increase of the demands pulls up the production capacity.

Nikitich [7]

Answer: The effect will be that the results will be distorted by registering a gain in the incorrect period, since 3 months correspond to the current year, from October-December and the rest corresponds from January-March of the following year.

The correct way to record these 3 months is as a liability (deferred income) when the income is realized they are taken to the income statement.

Keynesian economics argues for the use of _____ policy to stabilize the economy.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Keynesian economics argues for the use of active government policy to stabilize the economy.

Explanation:

In order to alleviate or avert economic recessions, Keynesian economics places a strong emphasis on the employment of proactive government policy to control aggregate demand. Keynes contended that lengthy periods of high unemployment might result from a lack of general demand. Consumption, investment, government purchases, and net exports are the aggregate of four factors that determine an economy's amount of goods and services.
