Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

According to Gerzema, some of the changes that consumers are making when it comes to spending money or buying an item include the idea of using debit cards at the expense of credit cards. This implies that individuals are now paying for goods and services with the money that is already with them.

He also said individuals now go after the “liquid life”, where he said that individuals define success on liquidity and not on having things. He also said individuals look at organization's values and that they're always looking for ways to have value for things they buy. The cause of these are the fact that consumers are being empowered and also wants to improve their economy.

Rey Company’s single product sells at a price of $216 per unit. Data for its single product for its first year of operations fol
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

1. Using Absorption Costing

Income Statement

Sales    20,000 X $216                             = $4,320,000

Less: Cost of Goods Sold (Note 1)            =($1,240,000)

Gross Margin                                             = $3,080,000

Less: Operating Expenses

Selling and Administrative Expense         = ($560,000)

(Note 2)                                                        

Net Income                                                  = $2,520,000

Note:

  1. Cost of goods Sold = All the direct variable cost + direct fixed cost = Direct materials + Direct Labor + Direct Overhead = $20 +$28 + $6 = $54 per unit, Total = $54 X 20,000 units = $1,080,000 + Fixed cost = $160,000 = $1,240,000
  2. Selling And Administrative Expense = Variable + Fixed, Variable = $18 X 20,000 units = $360,000, Fixed Expenses = $200,000, Total = $560,000

2. Using Variable Statement

Sales    20,000 X $216                             = $4,320,000

Less: Variable Costs

Direct Material $20 X 20,000                    = ($400,000)

Direct Labor  $28 X 20,000                       = ($560,000)

Variable Overhead $6 X 20,000               = ($120,000)

Variable Selling Expense $18 X 20,000    = ($360,000)

Contribution Margin                                     = $2,880,000

Less: Fixed Costs

Fixed Overhead                                            = ($160,000)

Fixed Selling & Administrative                     = ($200,000)

Net Income                                                    = $2,520,000

Note: Under Variable Statement first variable expenses are deducted to get the value of contribution, and then fixed expenses are deducted to get net income, whereas in absorption costing firstly manufacturing expenses are deducted to get gross margin and then operating expenses like selling and administrative expenses are deducted to get the net income.

But Net income is same in both cases.

Horatio Alger has just become product manager for Brand X. Brand X is a consumer product with a retail price of $1.00. Retail ma
german

Answer:

Horatio Alger

1. The unit contribution for Brand X is = $0.79

2. Brand X's break-even point (in units) = 1,816,456 (in sales dollars) = $1,816,456

3. The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 9.1%

4. Brand X's profit impact is 48.9% or $2,347,000

a. If the advertising budget is raised, units that Brand X have to sell to break-even is:

= 2,449,367 units

b. The units that Brand X have to sell in order for it to achieve the same profit impact that it did this year is:

= 5,865,886 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 25.5% next year for its profit impact to be the same as this year.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 16.2% for it to have a $1 million profit impact.

5. a. Break-even sales units = 2,474,138 units

b. Break-even sales units = 6,520,690 units

c. Brand X's market share have to be 32.6% for its profit impact to remain at this year's level.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Retail price of Brand X = $1.00

Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units

Total sales revenue =              $1.00  $4,800,000

Variable costs:

Manufacturing                         $0.09

Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10

Other selling expense            $0.02

Total variable costs per unit   $0.21  $1,008,000

Contribution margin per unit $0.79  $3,782,000

Fixed costs:

Manufacturing                $900,000

Advertising                       500,000

Brand X manager's salary 35,000    $1,435,000

Net income =                                     $2,347,000

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units

The market share that Brand X needs to break-even

= 1,816,456/20,000,000

= 9.1%

Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)

With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,

a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units

b. Units to achieve same profit impact:

Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)

Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15)  to make the same impact

Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79

= $4,634,050/$0.79

= 5,865,886 units

Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)

Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact

= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79

=  $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79

= $2,935,000/$0.79

= $3,715,190

= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%

Fixed costs = $1,435,000

Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price

Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79

Variable cost = $0.21

Contribution margin = $0.58

To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit

= $1,435,000/$0.58

= 2,474,138 units

Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58

= 6,520,690 units

Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)

Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100

= 32.6%

Market impact of $350,000

Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58

= 3,077,586 units

Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)

Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)

Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100

= 15.4%

Schmid Corporation issues​ $450,000, 12%, 5minusyear bonds on January​ 1, 2019 for​ $439,000. Interest is paid semiannually on J
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$28,100

Explanation:

The computation of the bond interest expense is shown below:

= (Issued amount × interest rate) + (Issued amount - given amount) ÷ time period

= ($450,000 × 6%) + ($450,000 - $439,000) ÷ 10 years

= $27,000 + $1,100

= $28,100

In semi annual period, the interest rate is half and the time period is doubles and the same is shown
