Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

Part d

See attachment

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

Thane Company is interested in establishing the relationship between electricity costs and machine hours. Data have been collect

dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct option : B. Cost = $ 130.00 + $ 5.90 x Machine - hours

Explanation:

Let's use the following method to solve the given problem

Now applying the high-low method of cost estimation,

High => November, 5,300 machine hours

Low => March, 2,300 machine hours

Arranging it in a simultaneous equations for total cost:

We can let fixed cost per month to be F, and the variable cost per machine -hour be V, and the number of machine-hours be Q.

Therefore

Total cost = F + VQ

High => F + 5,300Q = $ 31,400

Low => F + 2,300Q = $ 13,700

Subtracting Low from High, we have 3,000Q = $ 17,700 or Q = $ 5.90 per machine hour ................equation one

F = $ 13,700 - ( 2,300 x $ 5.90) = $ 130......................................................................equation two

Answer - A (7 years)

WORKINGS

To calculate how long it would take for the new refrigerator to pay for itself in lower utility costs, the cost of new refrigerator will be divided by lower utility cost per year

Cost of new refrigerator = $598

TO CALCULATE LOWER UTILITY COST PER YEAR

At a cost of only 12 cents per day

Annual cost will be 12 X 365 = 4380 Cents ($43.8)

Cost saved annually = Cost of old refrigerator – Cost of new refrigerator.

Lower utility cost per year = $132 – $43.8

Lower utility cost per year = $88.2

How long would it take for the new refrigerator to pay for itself in lower utility costs?

$598 ÷ $88.2

= 6.78 years

Approximately 7 years
