Answer:

Instructios are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Laptops:

Selling price= $1,600

Cost per unit= $800

Sale mix= 40%

Tablets:

Selling price= $850

Cost per unit= $350

Sale mix= 60%

The estimated fixed costs for the current year are $2,498,600

A) Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / (weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)

Weighted average selling price= (1600*0.40) + (850*0.60)= $1,150

Weighted average variable expense= (800*0.40) + (350*0.60)= 530

Break-even point (units)= 2,498,600 / (1150 - 530)= 4,030 units

B) Laptops= 4030*0.40= 1,612 units

Tablets= 4030*0.60= 2,418 units

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Given:

Sales budget = 5,900 units

Variable selling and administrative expense = $11.20 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative expense = $131,570 per month

Depreciation = $16,520 per month

Therefore, we'll compute cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses using the following formula:

<em>Cash disbursements = Variable selling and administrative expense × Sales budget +  Fixed selling and administrative expense - Depreciation</em>

Cash disbursements = $11.20 × 5,900 + $131,570 - $16,520

<u><em>Cash disbursements = $181,130</em></u>

Which of the following is a fixed cost?
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.

Explanation:

Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.

Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.

a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.

b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.

c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.

d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.

So, d is the correct choice.

The cost of manufactured goods is the sum of the costs of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and work in process inventory.

The cost of goods for sale is the sum of the beginning finished goods inventory plus the cost of manufactured goods less the ending finished goods inventory.

The income statement is a statement of revenue and costs in order to show the financial performance of an entity during a period of time.  It shows the gross profit and net operating profit or loss.

The Gross profit is the difference between Sales Revenue and the Cost of goods sold.

The Operating Profit (Loss) is the difference between the Gross profit and the Operating costs.

sweet [91]

Answer:

Additional money, the firm have 4 years from now if it can earn 5 percent rather than 4 percent on its savings will be $3,423.

Explanation:

Principal Amount = P = $75,000

Number of year = n = 4 years

If rate of return is 4%

A  = P ( 1 + r )^n

A = $75,000 ( 1 + 0.04 )^4

A = $75,000 x 1.16986

A = $87,740

If rate of return is 5%

A  = P ( 1 + r )^n

A = $75,000 ( 1 + 0.05 )^4

A = $75,000 x 1.21551

A = $91,163

Additional Amount Earned = $91,163 - $87,740 = $3,423
