MAVERICK [17]

Answer: a.$10,904 increase

Explanation:

Operating income before sales increase:

= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs

= 551,000 - (71% * 551,000) - 207,000

= -$47,210

Operating income after sales increase:

Sales increases to:

= 551,000 + 37,600

= $588,600

= 588,600 - (71% * 588,600) - 207,000

= -$36,306

Difference:

= -47,210 - (-36,306)

= Increase of $10,904

Answer:

Raw materials Inventory   260,000 debit  

D:M price variance                2,600 debit

     Account Payable                   257,400 credit

--to record the purchase ---

WIP-Inventory          248,000 debit

DM quality variance    2,000 debit

       Raw materials Inventory   250,000 debit

--to record requisition of materials--

WIP-Inventory    420,000 debit

D:L rate variance    1,640 debit

    Wages Payables             411,640 credit

    DL efficiency variance     10,000 credit

--to record the charge of labor into WIP--

Explanation:

130,000 pounds x $1.98 (actual)      = $257,400‬

130,000 pounds x $2.00 (standard) = $260,000

variance 2,600 favorable

Quantity Variance:

actual: 125,000 x $2 = 250,000

standard:  21,000 x 6 = 124,000 pounds x $2 = 248,000

variance: 2,000 unfavorable  

41,000 hours x $10.04 each = $411,640

41,000 hours x $10.00 each = $410,000

rate variance 1,640 unfavorable

efficiency variance:

21,000 x 2 hours = 42,000 hours x $10 = 420,000

actual 41,000 x $10 = 410,000

favorable 10,000

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

$6,014,384

Explanation:

Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor a loss. This is the point where Profit = $0.

Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

therefore,

Break even units = $3,236,000 ÷ ($184 x  $85)

                              = 32,687 units

thus,

Breakeven Sales = 32,687 units x $184 =  $6,014,384

suter [353]

Answer:

Wealth will be redistributed from creditors to debtors

Explanation:

Deflation refers to the general fall in the price level of goods and services when rate of inflation becomes lesser than 0%.

Due to the fall in the price level, goods and services become cheaper, credit providers reduce the quantum of credit provided.

Fall in the prices leads to lower expenditure by the purchasers owing to lower level of confidence and such buyers delay their purchases.

Deflation increases the purchasing power of consumers since at the same level of income, buyers can now buy more compared to previously.

Hence, those who earn fixed pension observe an increase in the value of such pension.
