The hotel's quick action in response to a serious situation was likely due to CYBER SECURITY BREACH. It is a threat not only to the customers but to the hotel business as well because with this breach, customers will find it hard to trust said hotel again. 

Because confidential data like credit card information were stolen, they need to immediately inform their customers to ensure that the customers will take the necessary steps in protecting themselves from having their identity stolen and from having their credit cards used in purchasing items they are not aware off.

Equipment in general governmental service that had been acquired several years ago by a special revenue fund at a cost of $40,00
vivado [14]

Answer:

D. A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000.

Explanation:

As the equipment is used for governmental service and sold, the journal entry to record the disposal is as follows:

Debit    Cash                                                 $15,000

Debit    Accumulated Depreciation             $30,000

Credit                 Equipment                                      $40,000

Credit                 Gain on sale of equipment            $5,000

Calculation: Book value of equipment = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation = $40,000 - $30,000 = $10,000

Therefore, Gain on sale of equipment = Disposal value - Book value = $15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000.

Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is also correct. Option C is also correct. Therefore, option D is not correct and it is the answer as it will not include in the journal.

Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

                         Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $2,200,000 (<em>Requirement 1</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)         880,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $1,320,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                        0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

                          Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $3,800,000 (<em>Requirement 3</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)        1520,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $2,280,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

<em>From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000</em>

<em>From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000</em>

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%
