Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

Margin of safety in % = (Expected Sales - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00

Winter Company earned revenues of $150,000 in cash and $200,000 on account during 2018. Of the $200,000 on account, $63,000

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$235,000

Explanation:

Under the accrual accounting system, expenses are recognized in the period incurred and not necessarily in the period cash is paid.

Revenue is also recognized in the period earned and not necessarily when cash is collected.

Total revenue in 2018 = $200,000 + $150,000

= $350,000

Net income is the difference between the revenue and expense

Net income in 2018 = $350,000 - $115,000

= $235,000

On December 31 of the current year, the unadjusted trial balance of a company using the percent of receivables method to estimat

Ymorist [56]

Answer: $4,811

Explanation:

Assuming 6% of outstanding accounts receivable at the end of the current year are estimated to be uncollectible that would be,

= 6% * 98,700

= $5,922

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts acts as a buffer for the business when bad debts are incurred.

Bad debts are taken from the Allowance as the Allowance has already been removed from the Receivables.

In cases where Bad debts exceed the buffer in the Allowance for Doubtful Debt Account we take everything in it and the remaining bad debt amount is debited to Bad Debt expense.

That would be,

= 5,922 - 1,111

= $4,811

$4,811 is the amount that should be debited to Bad Debts Expense.
