Answer: <u>The answer is A. $60,000 increase.</u>

<u />

Explanation: 1: The actual units sold multiplied by the budgeted sale price is equal to a total of $440000 (40000 x 11 = $ 440000)

2: The actual units sold multiplied by the actual sale price is equal to $500000 (40,000 x 12.5 = $ 500,000)

3:<u> $500000 - $440000 = </u><u>$60000</u><u> increase by the unit price factor.</u>

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Walton Company

Income Statement

                                   Actual                Budgeted            Variances

Sales                          510,400                 $ 519,000              8,600 U

Variable product costs    183400             188,000                 4,600 F        

Variable selling expense   48100              46,000                  2,100 U

Other variable expenses  5100                  3,300                  1,800 U

Contribution Margin      273,800              281,700              7,900 unfav

Fixed product costs   15460                       15,700                  240 F

Fixed selling expense   22920                   23,400                 480 F

Operating Income      235420                    242,600          7,180  unfav

Other fixed expenses   1460                       1,300                 160 U

Interest expense            710                          800                   90 F      

Net income                 233,250                  240,500           7,250 unfav

We calculate the actual amounts from the budgeted amount by adding the variances when they are unfavorable and subtracting them when they are favorable . But in case of sales this is reversed. The actual sales are calculated by   subtracting unfavorable variance from budgeted sales.

The fav amounts are subtracted from the unfav amounts to get the results .

8,600 u + ( 4,600)F + 2,100 U +1,800= 7,900 unfav

A company recently issued 9% preferred stock. The preferred stock sold for $40 a share with a par of $20. The cost of issuing th
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The company's cost of preferred stock is 5.1%

Explanation:

In order to find the cost  of the preferred stock we will need to divide the dividend the company pays on it by the net amount that the company is receiving for selling it.

In order to find the dividend we will multiply 9% by the par value of 20

Dividend = 0.09*20=1.8

Now we need to find the net amount the company receives for selling the preferred stock.

The company sells the stock for $40 but also has a issuing cost of $5, so in order to find the net amount we will subtract the cost from the price.

40-5= 35

35 is the net amount the company receives.

Now we will divide the the dividend 1.8 by the net amount 35

1.8/35=0.051

=5.1%

The company's cost of preferred stock is 5.1%

2. Lereve Company has recorded the following information about the results of its operations for the fourth quarter: Sales reven
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Lereve Company

Segmented Income Statement for the fourth quarter:

                                   Total Company  Western Division  Eastern Division  

Sales revenues           $200,000              $80,000              $120,000

Variable cost of sales     60,000                 30,000                  30,000

Contribution                $140,000               $50,000               $90,000

Fixed costs:

Common                     $100,000               $25,000               $75,000

Traceable                       50,000                  20,000                 30,000    

Net Income (Loss)       ($10,000)                 $5,000              ($15,000)

The results show that the Eastern Division made a net loss of $15,000 and the Western Division raked in a net income of $5,000, which resulted in the company-wide net loss of $10,000.  This loss could be traced to the allocated common fixed costs of the division, because its contribution to fixed costs was substantial and better than the Western Division's.

Explanation:

When the results of the operations of a divisional company like Lereve Company are prepared in segmental form, the performance pictures become clearer.  Management is enabled to focus on the segments or the factors that are generating the loss to the company.  Perhaps, as in this case, the problem may not be with the division, but the allocation of fixed costs to the divisions.  It can still be traced to the company as a whole, since it is generating much more fixed costs than it could afford from its revenue.
