Naily [24]

Answer: The answers are given below

Explanation:

a. Find the finished goods inventory, January 1.

The cost of good sold will be:

= (cost of good manufactured + finished good inventory beginning) - finished good inventory ending

$21,900 = $21,940 + finished good inventory beginning - $3500

Finished good inventory beginning will now be:

=$21900 - $21,040 + $3500

Finished good inventory January 1 = $4,360

b. Find the direct materials used for the year.

The total manufacturing cost will be:

= direct material + direct labour + manufacturing overhead

$19,460 = direct material + $3160 + $5710

Direct material = $19,460 - $3160 - $5710

Direct material = $10,590

c. Find the Sales revenue.

Gross margin will be :

= Sales revenue - cost of good sold

Let the sales revenue be y

Therefore,

37% of y = y - $21,900

0.37y = y - $21,900

y - 0.37y = $21,900

0.63y = $21,900

y = $21,900/0.63

y = $34,761.9

y = $34,762 approximately

The sales revenue is $34,762

Answer:

The answer is: Equity at the end of the year will be $123,000

Explanation:

At the beginning of the year the balance sheet was as following:

assets $195,000 liabilities $75,000

equity $ 120,000

Then during the year the income statement is:

total revenues $226,000
total expenses $175,000
net income $ 51,000 (this increases assets and equity)

If the owners withdrew $48,000, then cash and equity will decrease.

The ending balance for the year:

assets $195,000 + $51,000 liabilities $75,000

-$48,000 = equity $120,000 + $51,000 - $48,000 =

$198,000 $123,000

If an increase in the supply of a product in the market results in a decrease in price, but no change in the quantity traded, then the quantity of products will be growing and growing in the stock. this will again lead to a decrease in price and consumes more time to sale their stock. This will create a heavy loss to the investor. It may be overcome by innovative thoughts such as stopping the production of current product and launching a new product with available materials. So that it will balance the production and sale.

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The markup calculated as a result of information about the elasticity of demand

Explanation:

As a monopoly seller of pharmaceutical products the price set as markup would be above our marginal cost.

There are three facts about markup:

1. The Markup is not to be a price below marginal cost of the pharmaceutical product.

2. Markup is smaller when demand is more elastic. Remember if the price elasticity of demand is lower than 1, (negative) a rise in price causes an

increase in revenue for the seller.

Therefore having a -4 elasticity of demand could imply more profits for the firm.

The Oriole Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:

Salaries $7,500 per month

Utilities $1,500 per month

Depreciation $1,300 per month

Maintenance $1,760 per month

Maid service $24 per room

Other costs $46 per room

First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs and the unitary variable cost.

Total fixed costs= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance

Total fixed costs= $12,060

Unitary variable cost= 24 + 46= $70

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 12,060/ (100 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month
