Answer:

Contribution margin ratio = 20%

Explanation:

We know, contribution margin is the difference between sales revenue and variable expenses, while the contribution margin ratio expressed as a parentage between the contribution margin and company sale.

We know,

contribution margin ratio = (contribution margin ÷ sales revenue) × 100

Given,

Contribution margin = $17,600

sales revenue = $88,000

Putting the value into the formula, we can get

contribution margin ratio = ($17,600 ÷ $88,000) × 100

or, contribution margin ratio = 0.2 × 100

Contribution margin ratio = 20%

Counselors of Savannah purchased equipment on January ​1, 2017​, for $43,000.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Book value by December 31,2018=$26,000

gain on the sale by December 31, 2018=$1,200

Explanation:

The expression for the accumulated depreciation is as follows;

depreciable cost=Acquisition cost-residual value

where;

acquisition cost=$43,000

residual value=$500

replacing;

depreciable cost=43,000-500=$42,500

depreciable cost=$42,500

The annual depreciation can be expressed as;

annual depreciation=depreciable cost/estimated life

where;

depreciable cost=$42,500

estimated life=5 years

replacing;

annual depreciation=42,500/5=8,500

annual depreciation=$8,500

Accumulated depreciation after 2 years=annual depreciation×2=(8,500×2)=$17,000

Book value=acquisition cost-accumulated depreciation

where;

acquisition cost=$43,000

accumulated depreciation=$17,000

replacing;

Book value=43,000-17,000=$26,000

net gain/loss=sale-book value

net gain/loss=27,200-26,000

gain on the sale by December 31, 2018=$1,200

a_sh-v [17]
 I don't think there's anything more annoying than the ISP monopolies, specifically Comcast which has most of the US I believe. They never bother to upgrade their services only their prices and stupid cable bundle packages. I'm lucky enough to live in a large metropolitan area where a new fiber internet company just started up but before this last year there were only two ISP choices; Comcast or Century link. Suburban and rural areas typically only get one choice; expensive slow internet service from a local ISP monopoly.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

[Debit] Work In Process : Assembly Department $47,064

[Debit] Work In Process : Finishing Department $19,504

[Credit] Overheads $66,568

Explanation:

Note that overheads are assigned to departments on the basis of 160% of labor costs. Thus, our first point of call is to determine the labor cost for the respective departments. After that we then apply the 160 % to arrive at the Overheads assigned to that department

Step 1

Determine Departmental Labor Cost

Total Labor Costs         =   $62,800

Assembly Department = ( $44,400)

Finishing Department  =    $18,400

Step 2

Determine Overhead Cost for the Departments

Assembly Department ( $44,400 × 160 %) = $47,064

Finishing Department  ( $18,400 × 160 %)  = $19,504

Step 3

Journalize

<em>Debit</em> the Work In Process Account for the respective department and <em>Credit</em> the Overheads Account as above.
