Allegheny Energy Supply Co. and Monogahela Power Co., a subsidiary, filed suit against Anker West Virginia Mining Co., later acq

uired by International Coal Group, for breach of contract. The parties had a contract for Allegheny and Monogahela to buy all of the coal produced from a proposed "Sycamore 2" mine, located in Harrison County, W.Va. The coal promised amounted to about 1.8 million tons per year, not less than 20 million tons total. Anker has never produced the necessary amount of coal, topping out at 480,000 tons per year in total from the mine. Anker had sent a letter to Allegheny in 2006 claiming physical difficulties at the mine and a change in the enforcement of regulations relating to coal mining near gas wells hampered their ability to extract coal from the mine. As a result, Anker said it was unable to deliver the necessary coal. Which defense to performance is Anker relying on?
A) Misrepresentation
B) Parol evidence
C) Failure of conditions
D) Force majeure

You found your dream house. It will cost you $300000 and you will put down $30000 as a down payment. For the rest you get a 30-y
Andrews [41]

Answer:

$1,282.80

Explanation:

The PMT formula is used for this question. The attachment is shown below:

The NPER shows the time period

Given that,  

Present value = $300,000 - $30000 = $270,000

Future value = $0

Rate of interest = 4% ÷ 12 months = 0.33%

NPER = 30 years × 12 months = 360 months

The formula is shown below:

= PMT(Rate;NPER;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the answer is $1,282.80

Erin Shelton, Inc., wants to earn a target profit of $960,000 this year. The company’s fixed costs are expected to be $1,320,000
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1. Break-even sales = $2,200,000

2. Net Income = $0

3. Sales = $3,800,000

4. See explanation section

5. Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety (%) = 42.11%

Explanation:

Requirement 1.

We know,

Break-even sales = Fixed expense ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Break-even sales = $1,320,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, Break-even sales = $2,200,000

Requirement 2.

                         Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $2,200,000 (<em>Requirement 1</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)         880,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $1,320,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                        0

In break-even sales, total fixed expense = total contribution margin, therefore, no income or loss.

Requirement 3.

We know,

This year, To attain profit, sales = (Fixed expense + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Given,

Expected Fixed expense = $1,320,000

Target Profit = $960,000

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales Revenue

As we do not have contribution margin and Sales Revenue, we have to use variable costs that is expected to be 40% of sales. Therefore,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Sales (%) - variable costs (%) = 100% - 40% = 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = ($1,320,000 + $960,000) ÷ 60%

To attain profit, sales = $2,280,000 ÷ 60%

Therefore, To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000

Requirement 4.

Using To attain profit, sales = $3,800,000 (From Requirement 3) to find the net operating income

                          Erin Shelton, Inc.

Contribution Margin Income Statement format

For the year ended, December 31, Current year

Sales Revenue                                          $3,800,000 (<em>Requirement 3</em>)

<u>Less: Variable expense (40% of sales)        1520,000</u>

Contribution Margin                                  $2,280,000

<u>Less: Fixed Expense                                   1,320,000</u>

Net operating Income                                $960,000

Requirement 5.

We know,

Margin of safety = (Current sales - Break-even sales)

<em>From Requirement 1, we get, Break-even sales = $2,200,000</em>

<em>From Requirement 3, we get, Current sales = $3,800,000</em>

Margin of safety = $3,800,000 - $2,200,000

Therefore, Margin of safety = $1,600,000

Margin of safety as percentage = [(Current sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Current sales] × 100

Margin of safety = ($1,600,000 ÷ $3,800,000) × 100

or, Margin of safety = 0.42105 × 100

Margin of safety = 42.11%

The managerial accountant at Safety, Inc. prepared a Flexible Budget Performance Report. The managerial accountant noticed a $5,
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The managerial accountant found out that the cost of the units previously sold was higher than the selling price per unit.

If the variance is unfavorable, it means that the total budgeted costs were larger than the total budgeted revenue. In this case the variance was $5,600 unfavorable. We are not told how many units were sold but it is obviously a mistake to sell products at a lower price than COGS. So the previous flexible budget was not properly prepared.
