Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

d.

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

Lunna [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Companies can help to ensure they do their part toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set out by UNCTAD by establishing a continuing education program so employees can do what is expected on this issue. Management can start funding campaigns to donate some money to the cause. Ask employees to give volunteering time to noble causes and environmental. The company has to set an example from top management to the operational level to do the right thing always, no matter the circumstances.

We are talking about the sustainability development goals created by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Option C. Debit Cash and credit Stock Investments

Explanation:

The reason is that in the equity method of recording the dividends receipts, it is always deducted from the stock investment and the relevant share of reported net income of the associate is added to the stock investment.

So mathematically,

Stock Investment Under Equity Method = Opening Value for the year + Share of Net Income - Dividend received

Stock Investment Under Equity Method = $300,000 + $160,000 * 25% + $60,000 * 25% = $325,000

The above treatment shows that the recording of dividends include credit to stock investment and the cash receipt is always debited.

So the double entry would be:

Dr Cash $15,000

Cr Dividends $15,000

So the option C is correct.
