Answer:

a) X = 14.7%

b) X = 140%

c) X = 10.76%

d) X = 5.83%

e) X = 40%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Let the tax rate be = X%

then 0+(X × 10,000)÷100+(X × 130,000)÷100+(X × 240,000)÷100 = $56,000

100X+1,300X+2,400X = $56,000

X = $56,000÷3,800

= 14.7%

b) ((X × 10,000)÷100)× 4 = $56,000

400X = $56,000

X = 140%

c) ((X × 130,000)÷100)×4 = $56,000

5,200 X = $56,000

X = 10.76%

d) ((X × 240,000)÷100 )×4 = $56,000

9,600 X = $56,000

X = 5.83%

e) X× 0+(X × 10,000)÷100+(X × 130,000)÷100 = $56,000

1,400 X = $56,000

X = 40%

f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.

g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.
