Answer:

Instructions are below,

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Product A: Sales $514,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 30%

Product B: Sales $828,000; Contribution Margin Ratio 60%

fixed expenses are $338,000

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin:

Total CM= CM Product A + CM Product B

Total CM= 514,000*0.3 + 828,000*0.6= $651,000

The operating income is calculated deducting from the total contribution margin the fixed costs:

Operating income= 651,000 - 338,000= 313,000

The average weighted contribution margin is calculated using the contribution margin ratio per product and the sales mix.

Sales mix:

Product A= 514,000/1,342,000= 0.38

Product B= 828,000/1,342,000= 0.62

Weighted average contribution= contribution margin ratio*sales mix

Product A= 0.3*0.38= 0.114

Product B= 0.6*0.62= 0.372

Total= 0.486

Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.486= 48.6%

Finally, we can calculate the break-even point in units:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (units)= 338,000/ 0.486= $695,473.25

5 Make versus buy, activity-based costing. The Svenson Corporation manufactures cellular modems. It manufactures its own cellula

zmey [24]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Expected manufacturing costs 2018:

Direct materials $170 × 10,000 = $1,700,000

Direct labor $45 per unit × 10,000 = $450,000

Variable overhead per batch 1,500 × 80 = $120,000

Fixed overhead:

Avoidable $320,000

Not avoidable $800,000

1. Calculate that total expected manufacturing cost per unit of making CMCBs in 2018

= $1,700,000 + $450,000 + $120,000 + $320,000 + $800,000

= $3,390,000

Cost per unit = $3,390,000/10,000 units

= $339 per unit

2. Svenson should keep manufacturing the CMCBs

Costs if CMCBs are purchased from Minton = ($300 × 10,000) + $800,000

= $3,000,000 + $800,000

= $3,800,000

It means that the cost of purchasing is $410,000 [ $3,390,000 - $3,800,000] higher than the cost of manufacturing.

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Option B fits perfectly,$1.61

Explanation:

Basis earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common stock in the year.

Earnings attributable to common is net income minus preferred stock dividends

Net income is $361,000

preferred stock dividend=20,100*$1.70=$ 34,170.00

earnings attributable to common stock=$361,000-$ 34,170=$ 326,830

Weighted average number of common stock is 203,000 shares

basic earnings per share= $326,830/203,000=$1.61

The correct option is B,$1.61

Which of the following statements about the consumption component of GDP is not correct?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

D. Spending on services is smaller than the amount of consumption spending on durable and nondurable goods.

Explanation:

For developed countries like the U.S, there is a lot of stress in consumption of services such as good health care, appropriate and quality education and among others. These services contribute to a larger proportion of consumption component of GDP than both durable and nondurable commodities. Therefore, the statement “spending on services is smaller than the amount of consumption spending on durable and non-durable goods” is not correct
