Answer:  $379,500

Explanation:

Total Sales = <em>Break-even sales + Margin of Safety </em>

The Break-Even sales are therefore = 100% - 20%

= 80% of sales

Total Sales is therefore;

Break-even =   80% * Total Sales

Total Sales = Break-even/80%

= 759,000/0.8

= $948,750

Assuming no fixed costs, actual profit will be Sales less Variable expenses;

=Sales - Variable expenses  

= 1 - 60%

Actual profit = 40% * Sales

= 40% * 948,750

= $379,500

          Cr.     Investment revenue                    50,000

Explanation:

The equity method is a type of accounting used to incorporate investments. It is used when the investor holds significant influence over the investee but does not exercise full control over it.

An investor is deemed to have significant influence over an investee if it owns between 20% to 50% of the investee’s shares or voting rights.

- Jolley receives dividends of $10,000, which is 25% of $40,000, and records a reduction in their investment account. The reason for this is that they have received money from their investee.

- Jolley records the net income from Tige Co. as an increase to its Investment account.

<u> Explanation</u>:

<em><u>Given</u></em>:

Cost of van= $32,000
