Answer:

The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

Explanation:

1. for the company:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 240000/750000

                               = 0.32

fixed cost = 182000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 182000/0.32

                                       = $568750

2.  for the north region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/600000

                               = 0.20

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.20

                                       = $320000

3. for the south region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/150000

                               = 0.80

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.80

                                       = $80000

Therefore, The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Ophelia Inc.

Assuming that the company utilizes the allowance method, Ophelia should record a(n):

decrease in Accounts Receivable

Explanation:

This means that the accounts receivable will be credited while the allowance for doubtful accounts is debited to record the decreased value.  The Patton Inc. account may not be recovered fully.  However, the amount of the decrease depends on the amount that can be recovered from Patton.  Thereupon, the accounts receivable will first be credited with the cash recovered with the corresponding debit entry in the Cash account.
