Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

d.

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

Simon has net investment income of $38,000 and MAGI of $223,000 and files as a single taxpayer. Simon's additional Medicare tax

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$874

Explanation:

Calculation for Simon's additional Medicare tax

Based on the information given we were told Simon has a MAGI of the amount of $223,000 in which part of it is for wages income of the amount of $185,000 ($223,000 -$38,000)

while the amount of $38,000 is the net investment income which means that Samson MAGI is below the threshold limit of the amount of $200,000, therefore tax rate of 3.8% tax will be applied.

Now let calculate the additional Medicare tax

Additional Medicare tax = ($38,000-$15,000)*3.8%

Additional Medicare tax =$23,000*3.8%

Additional Medicare tax = $874

Therefore Simon's additional Medicare tax is:874

Answer:

INCREMENTAL cost allocation method

Explanation:

Incremental cost allocation method is the ranking of individual users of the cost object in such a way that the order of users most responsible for the common cost and then uses its ranking to allocate cost among those users. So they'd be ranked from primary user to first incremental user to second incremental user and so on until the cost have been assigned to all users. It requires one user to be seen as the primary user/party and other users to be seen as incremental user/party.
