EPA's fine, states it is probable it will stand.

Damage awards and fines DR $248,000

Contingent Liability-fines CR $248,000

Out of court settlement for $130,000. Although since the settlement was just reached, we would just use a payable account.

Damage awards and finesDR $130,000

Awards payable CR $130,000

The homeowner lawsuit is not thought to be a strong case, plus the amount of any actual damages is unforeseeable, therefore a journal entry would not normally be needed at all. Although those would still be disclosed to shareholders on financial statements.

Answer:

14 truck and 1 suv produce 21,800 profit

Explanation:

We have to solve for the contribution margin considering the constraing resourse which, is the ordering cost:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&sedan&SUV&truck&\\$NRV&19000&21850&20425&\\$Cost&-18000&-20500&-19000&\\$CM&1000&1350&1425&\\$Constrain resource&18000&20500&19000&\\$CM per constrain&0.05556&0.0659&0.075&\\\end{array}\right]

The card models revenue is calcualted using the net realizable value for each card, which is their sales price less the 5% sales commission.

Then we solve for how many truck will it purchase:

300,000 / 19,000 = 15,78

So the company will purchase 15 trucks

giving 15 x 1,425 = 21,375

This will require 2.5 x 15 = 37.5 hours thus 5 sales man (40 labor)

This creates 2.5 hours unsured

and also 300,000 - 15,000 x 19,000 = 15,000 dollar which are not productive

So, we will try to make a better use to purchase the SUV which is the second best option instead of the 15th truck:

giving 14 x 1,425 + 1350 = 21,300

we subtract the 500 dollar of sales man and get a 21,800 profit

with less unproductive dollar. So this will be the answer
