Answer:
Explanation:
Contribution : Contribution tells the availability of funds. It is computed by taking a difference of sales and variable cost.
The equation to compute net income is shown below:
Sales - Variable cost = Contribution ;
Contribution - Fixed expense = Net income
For computing the foretasted contribution for 2018, the following information is need to be considered which is shown below.
1. As for variable cost, 50% should be recognized i.e 627,888 × 50% = $313,944
2. The fixed cost is increased by $156,000. So the revised fixed cost = 212,000 + $156,000 = $368,000
3. Other things remain same.

Answer: $40,000
Explanation:
Hello. Your question was incomplete as it lacked the balance sheet in question. Luckily I found it and have now attached it.
The question states that the central bank has set a required reserve ratio of 10%. This means that 10% of the deposits at the bank are not to be touched so they cannot loan past 90% of the deposits.
The bank has only $60,000 remaining to loan out as they will not sell their securities.
So we will calculate how much they can loan out thus,
= 60,000 - (200,000 * 10%) to find out what amount cannot be touched
= 60,000 - 20,000
= $40,000
The maximum amount of additional loans the bank in Jamestown can undertake is $40,000.
Answer:
Explanation:
D = 60 bags
cost = 80 / bag
s = 20 / order
h = 40% of cost
0.4 * 80 / 100
h= 32 unit/year
D = d * 12 months
D = 60 * 12
D = 720 bags / year
EOQ =
EOQ =
EOQ = 30 bags
Total cost = Total holding cost + total ordering cost
Total holding cost = (Q/2 * H) = (30/2 * 32) = 480
Total ordering cost = (D/Q * 20) = (720/30 *20) = 480
Total cost = 480 + 480 = 960
Total purchasing cost = cost * D = 80 * 720 = 57.600
Percentage= total cost / total purchasing cost * 100
960 / 57.600 * 100
1.67 %
