Explanation:
Answer:
1) Colt Carriage Company
Income Statement
For the month ended April 202x
Revenues:
- Adults passengers $186,300
- Children $81,000
- Total revenues $267,300
Variable costs:
- City fees $26,730
- Souvenirs $7,425
- Brokerage fees $11,340
- Carriage drivers $52,650
- Total variable costs <u>$98,145</u>
Contribution margin $169,155
Period costs:
- Depreciation $2,900
- Horse leases $48,000
- Marketing expenses $7,350
- Payroll expenses $7,600
- Total period costs <u>$65,850</u>
Operating profit $103,305
2) If the total amount of passengers increase by 10%, then all variable costs will increase by 10% except brokerage fees which would increase only by 6%. Revenues should also increase by 10%. Period costs should not change.
Contribution margin should increase by 10.29% and operating profit would increase by 16.81%.
Explanation:
since the information is not complete, I looked it up:
Revenues
13,500 passengers:
8,100 x $23 = $186,300
5,400 x $15 = $81,000
total $267,300
variable costs:
fees paid to the city 10% of total revenue
souvenirs $0.55 per passenger
brokerage fees 60% of total tickets x $1.40
carriage drivers $3.90 per passenger
fixed costs:
depreciation $2,900
horse leases $48,000
marketing expenses $7,350
payroll expenses $7,600
Answer:
(i) 900 CDs
(ii) Greater than; $1,650
Explanation:
(1) Break-event point will be when the contribution margin from total sales is equal to fixed costs,
Contribution Margin = Selling price - variable cost
= $(21.5 - 9.5)
= $12
Contribution Margin *Number of CDs sold = $10,800
Break-even point for Studio A = 10,800 ÷ 12
= 900 CDs
(2) Studio A would be more profitable when the extra profit earned from per unit sale of CD exceeds the extra fixed cost given in Studio A.
Extra Contribution margin in Studio A = $(12-10)
= $2
Extra Fixed cost in Studio A = $(10,800 - 7,500)
= $3,300
Studio A should be chosen if sales is greater than (3300/2) = $1,650.
Accounting adds and subtracts numbers billing etc.
Bookkeeping just organizes and stores imformation.
