Answer:

a.  450 tours per month

b.  $850 per month

c.  CM Ratio = 0.7

d.  

1.  Increase

2.  Decrease

3.  No Effect

Explanation:

<u>The questions are:</u>

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

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

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

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

<em>1. A decrease in tour prices.</em>

<em>2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).</em>

<em>3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.</em>

<u />

<u />

<u>Solution:</u>

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 =  <u>450 tours per month</u>

<u></u>

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 = <u>$850</u>

<u></u>

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".

Owens Corporation uses a process costing system. For March, the beginning work in process inventory consisted of 60,000 units th
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

C) $4.02

Explanation:

The computation of cost per equivalent unit for processing cost for March is shown below:-

As we know that

Beginning work in process inventory units + Units started into production  = Ending work in process inventory units + Units completed and transferred out

60,000 + 190,000 = Units in ending work in process inventory + 200,000

Units in ending work in process inventory is

= 60,000 + 190,000 - 200,000

= 50,000

To complete the beginning work in process inventory:-      

Processing:                                                     24,000

60,000 units ×(100% - 60%) a

Units started and completed                          140,000

(200,000 − 60,000) b

Ending work in process inventory Processing:

50,000 units × 20% c                                      10,000

Equivalent units of production                        174,000

Cost added throughout the period e            7,00,000

Equivalent units of production f                     174,000

Cost per equivalent unit e ÷ f                             $4.02
