The overhead costs for a company are presently $X per month. The management team of the company in cooperation with the employee

s is ready to implement a comprehensive improvement program to reduce these costs. If you (a) consider an observation of actual overhead costs for one month analogous to an output unit, (b) estimate the overhead costs for the first month of program implementation to be 1.15X due to extra front-end effort, and (c) consider a 90% improvement curve applicable to the situation, what is your estimate of the percentage reduction in present overhead costs per month after 30 months of program implementation

Answer:

31.42%

Explanation:

The computation of the estimate of the percentage reduction in present overhead costs per month is shown below:-

n = log s ÷ log2

= log 0.90 ÷ log 2

= -0.152

Now we will use the learning curve equation  which is here below:

Z30 = 1.15X × 30^(-0.152)

= 0.685765148

So, the cost is reduced by

= 1 - 0.685765148

= 0.314234852

or

= 31.42%

A company's fixed operating costs are $420,000, its variable costs are $3.20 per unit, and the product's sales price is $4.65. W
Hatshy [7]

Answer: The volume of sales that will result in a break-even point is 289,655 units

Explanation: For any organization or company to break-even means its total costs is just the same as its total revenue. This means no profit, and no loss either. Or better still, profit/loss equals zero.

The equation to determine the profit or otherwise of an organization is given as Revenue minus Cost. That is, the sales figure should exceed the cost of production, and the excess would be the profit. If on the other hand the cost of production exceeds the sales figure, then the equation would result in a negative figure which simply means a loss has been recorded.

In the question above, the costs have been given as;

Fixed cost = 420000

Variable cost = 3.2y

Total cost = 420000 + 3.2y

Where y is the number of units produced.

Also the revenue has been given as 4.65y

That is, sales price multiplied by number of units produced/sold

The profit is given as revenue minus cost while the break-even point is given as revenue equals cost, that is;

420000 + 3.2y = 4.65y

Collect like terms and you have;

420000 = 4.65y - 3.2y

420000 = 1.45y

Divide both sides by 1.45

289655.172 = y

y ≈ 289,655

Therefore the sales volume that will result in a break even point is 289,655 units

"A customer has a restricted margin account with $2,500 of SMA. If the customer wishes to buy $7,500 of marginable common stock,
drek231 [11]

Answer:

$1,250

Explanation:

Given the following :

Amount of marginable stock customer wishes to buy = $7,500

Restricted margin account with $2500 of SMA

Since the account is a restricted margin account, that is (account has fallen below intial requirement). There must be a deposit of 50% in the regulation T account.

Hence, to purchase a marginable stock of $7,500;

50% of $7,500 should be deposited;

50/100 × 7,500 = $3750

Since there is $2500 of SMA in restricted margin account

Hence, the amount needed will be ;

($3,750 - $2,500) = $1,250

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The​ corporation's tax liability is $ 228,820.

Explanation:

To calculate tax liability we first have to find net profit. Detail calculation is given below.

<u><em>Net profit Calculation</em></u>

Sales                                                                                 $ 3,130,000

cost of goods sold and the operating expenses          ($ 2,080,000)

Interest expense                                                              ( $ 377,000)

Net profit                                                                           $ 673,000

<u><em>Tax liability Calculation</em></u>

Income fall under Tax bracket of  34%  ($75,001 to ​$10,000,0000 for corporate tax. No additional surtax will be charged as income do not fall under its net.

Tax liabilty = 673,000 * 34% = $ 228,820

Alex

Answer:

Allocated costs Loin Chop= $5,590

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product - Pounds - Price/lb.

Loin chops 3,000lb $ 5.00/lb

Ground 10,000lb $2.00/lb

Ribs 4,000lb $4.75/lb

Bacon 6,000lb $3.50/lb

The total joint cost for the current period was $43,000

First, we need to calculate the weighted average lb participation of Loin Chops:

Total lb= 23,000

Weighted average lb= 3,000/23,000= 0.13

Now, we can allocate the joint costs:

Loin Chop= $43,000*0.13= $5,590
