An electronics company has developed a new hand-held device. The company predicts that the start-up cost to manufacture the new

Leni [432]

Answer:

A) to calculate the break even point we can use the following:

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin

break even point = 125,000 / (9 - 6.5) = 125,000 / 2.5 = 50,000 units

The company must sell over 50,000 units to make a profit

B) if the unit production costs increase 10%, the new unit cost will be $7.15, and the new break even point will be: 125,000 / (9 - 7.15) = 125,000 / 1.85 = 67,567.6 which we round up to 67,568 units.

Now the company must sell at least 67,568 units to make a profit

C) If the company wants to increase its product price to a level where the break even point is 50,000 units, then the new price should be $9.65.

The contribution margin must be $2.5, so if the production costs are $7.15, we just add $2.5 to get $9.65 per unit.

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Option "D" is the correct answer to the following question.

Which of the following describes a system of reporting revenues and expenses in the period in which they are considered to have

saul85 [17]

Answer:

c)accrual basis accounting

Explanation:

Accruals basis accounting (accruals accounting, the matching concept) depicts the effects of transactions and other events and circumstances on a reporting entity’s economic resources and claims in the periods in which those effects occur, even if the resulting cash receipts or payments occur in a different period.

In accrual basis accounting:

Revenue from sales and other income should be reported in the period when the income arises (which might not be the same as the period when the cash is received from the customer / client).

The cost of sales in the statement of comprehensive income must be matched with the sales. Income and ‘matching’ expenses must be reported in the same financial period. In other words, when the revenue is recognised from sale then the cost must also be recognised in the similar accounting period.

Other expenses should be charged in the period to which they relate, not the period in which they are paid for.

So based on the above discussion, the answer is c)accrual basis accounting

Identify a true statement about the different stages of a product life cycle. Select one: a. The production and marketing costs

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

c. Profits increase and are positively correlated with sales during the growth stage of the product life cycle.

Explanation:

A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

Generally, there are four (4) stages in the product-life cycle;

1. Introduction.

2. Growth.

3. Maturity.

4. Decline.

The true statement about the different stages of a product life cycle is that profits increase and are positively correlated with sales during the growth stage of the product life cycle because the growth stage is typically characterized by an acceptance of the product in the market by the consumers. Thus, there would be an increase in the quantity of goods sold (revenue) and a corresponding increase in profit.
