Answer: Please see explanation column for answer

Explanation:

Recasting  the income statement to emphasize contribution margin.

Juicy Beauty Operating Income Statement, June 2017

Units sold                                                            20,000

Revenues                                                         $200,000

Variable costs(subtract):

Variable manufacturing costs    $110,000

Variable marketing costs             $10,000

Total variable costs                                                 $120,000  

Contribution margin                                                   $80,000

Fixed costs

fixed manufacturing costs                         40,000

Fixed marketing and administrative costs 20,000

Total fixed cost                                                                $60,000

Operating income                                                           $20,000

Working  for income statement above =

Contribution margin = Revenue -Total  variable cost =$200,000- ($110,000 + $10,000) - $80,000

Operating income= Contribution margin - Total fixed cost = $80,000 - $($40,000 +$20,000) -=$20,000

2  The contribution margin percentage and breakeven point in units and revenues for June 2017.

Contribution margin percentage = ,Contribution margin/ Revenue x 100%

= $80,000/ $200,000 x 100= 40 %

Contribution margin per unit = ,Contribution margin/ units sold

                                                   80,000 / 20,000= $4 per unit

Break  even point units  = Total fixed cost/ ,Contribution margin per unit

 = $60,000/ $4=  15,000units

Break even revenue=

we first calculate the selling price = Revenue / units sold = $200,000/ 20,000 =$10

Break even revenue=Break even units x per unit sold = $15,000 x $10 = $150,000.

3. Margin of safety = units sold - break even point unit

20,000 - 15,000 =5000 units

4. If the sales is 16,000 and tax is 30% , Net income is

Units sold                     16,000

Revenue                     $160,000

Contribution margin    $64,000

Total fixed cost           - $60,000

Operation income       $4,000

tax at 30 %                  - $ 1200

Net income                 $2,800

working

Revenue = units sold x sale per unit = 16,000 x $10 = $160,000

Contribution margin = Revenue x contribution margin percentage = $160,000 x 40% = $64,000

Operation income = contribution margin - fixed costs= $64,000 - $60,000 = $4000

Tax = 30% of 4000 = $1200

Net income = $4000 - $1200 = $2,800

Answer:

B. The cost of utilities is deductible for AGI

Explanation:

The entire cost of the utilities would be for AGI deduction assuming no personal use of the condo. The employer portion of Marilyn's self-employment tax would be deductible as well.

Adjusted gross income (AGI) is a measure of income calculated from your gross income and used to determine how much of your income is taxable. It is the starting point for calculating a filer's tax bill in the United States and, among other things, is the basis for many deductions and credits. When filing your taxes online—as about 80% of filers do—the software you use will calculate your AGI for you.
