Answer:

A) 13,500 units

B) 14,630 units

C) $156 is the selling price.

Explanation:

A) Number of units sold = Total sales/selling price per unit

Given,

Operating profit (Net income) = $234,200

Selling price per unit = $151

Variable cost per unit = $91

Contribution margin per unit = $(151-91) = $60

With the help of contribution approach, we can find the total sales.

                                             Per Unit            Total Cost

Selling price                            $151

Less: Variable cost              <u>     91       </u>  

Contribution Margin(1)            $60                  $810,000

Less: Fixed cost                                         <u>      $575,800</u>

Net Income                                                      $234,200

Note: 1) Contribution Margin - Fixed cost = Net income

Contribution Margin = Net income + fixed cost

Contribution Margin = $234,200 + 575,800

Contribution Margin = $810,000

Total number of units = Contribution Margin/Contribution margin per unit

Total number of units sold = $810,000/$60

Total number of units sold = 13,500 units

B) We know,

Desired sales unit = \frac{Fixed cost + Target profit}{Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit}

Given, as the selling price, variable cost and fixed cost remain same in 2020. Therefore,

Selling price per unit = $151

Variable cost per unit = $91

Fixed cost = $575,800

Targeted profit = $67,500 + 234,500 = $302,000

Therefore, desired sales unit = \frac{575,800 + 302,000}{151 - 91}

Desired sales unit = 14,630 units need to be sold in 2020.

C) If the company wants to sell 13,500 units but wants to achieve $(234,200+67,500) = $302,000 amount of profit, the company has to increase its selling price. Because the company cannot change the fixed cost.

Therefore,

Contribution Margin - Fixed cost = Net income

or, Contribution Margin = Net income + fixed cost

or, Contribution Margin = $302,000 + 575,800 = $877,800

Therefore, contribution margin per unit = \frac{877,800}{13,500}

Contribution margin per unit = $65

As the variable cost will not be changed, the selling price should be -

Selling price - variable expense per unit = Contribution margin per unit

Selling price = Contribution margin per unit + variable expense per unit

Selling price/unit = $65 + $91 = $156

Chez Fred Bakery estimates the allowance for uncollectible accounts at 3% of the ending balance of accounts receivable. During 2
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

Explanation:

The following are given in the question:

Percentage of allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3%

Credit sales = $125,000

Collections = $131,000

Amount written off = $180

Therefore, we have:

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 * 3% = $750

Account receivable on 31 December 2018 = $750 / 3% = $25,000

Accounts receivable on 01 January 2018 = Account receivable on 31 December 2018 - Credit sales + Collections + Amount written off = $25,000 - $125,000 + $131,000 + $180 = $31,180

Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.

A. What is a benefit of international trade to households?
devlian [24]

Answer:

a. Increased wealth due to lower prices and greater product diversity b. Ability to use productive resources found only in other countries.

Explanation:

A: Benefits of International trade for households, is an increase in wealth as a consequence of the drop in prices of goods that are imported (because these products are produced efficiently abroad), and a potential drop in prices of local goods because productive factors could potentially be more efficiently allocated increasing the productivitiy of such factors. Households also benefit because a higher diversity of products could expand their utility curve by richer consumption alternatives. B: Benefits of international trade for firms is an expansion of the disposable resources available to produce local goods, which could increase the productivity per productive factor by relatively lower prices of resources and higher quantities.

Break-Even Sales and Sales to Realize Income from Operations
strojnjashka [21]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.

Contribution per unit

= Selling price per unit - Variable costs per unit

= $300 - $200

= $100 per unit

Now  

Break even point (units)

= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $14,000,000 ÷ $100

= 140,000 units

And,

b)

Sales units required for a target profit of $1,400,000

So,

= (Fixed costs + Target profits) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= ($14,000,000 + $1,400,000) ÷ $100

= 154,000 units
