Answer:

1. 6,833 barrels.

2. 7,039 barrels.

Explanation:

Requirement 1

We know,

Break-even number of barrels = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution Margin per unit

Given,

Contribution Margin per unit = Sales price per unit - Variable expense per unit

or, Contribution Margin per unit = (Total sales ÷ Sales volume) - [(75% of the cost of goods sold + 50% of selling, general, and administrative expenses) ÷ 41,000]

or, Contribution Margin per unit = ($5,248,000 ÷ 41,000) - [($1,312,000 × 75%) + (656,000 × 50%) ÷ 41,000]

or, Contribution Margin per unit = $128 - [($984,000 + 328,000) ÷ 41,000]

or, Contribution Margin per unit = $128 - ($1,312,000 ÷ 41,000)

or, Contribution Margin per unit = $128 - $32 = $96

And, Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable expense = (Cost of goods sold + Selling, general, and administrative expenses) - Variable expense

Fixed cost = ($1,312,000 + 656,000) - $1,312,000 = $656,000

Therefore,

Break-even number of barrels = $656,000 ÷ $96 = 6,833 barrels.

Requirement 2

Again,

Break-even number of barrels = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution Margin per unit

Given,

As Anheuser-Busch InBev expects to increase the fixed expenses by $19,700, the new fixed cost = $656,000 (from requirement 1) + $19,700

Fixed cost = $675,700

Given,

Contribution Margin per unit = $96 (From requirement 1)

Therefore,

Break-even number of barrels for the following year = $675,700 ÷ $96

Break-even number of barrels = 7,039 (rounded to nearest number).

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": product extension.

Explanation:

In International Business, product extension refers to the approach by which a firm introduces its product or service across borders without shaping the product according to the profile of each consumer in each region.

finlep [7]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Sales = $27000

Less: sales returned = -$660

Less: discount at 2% = ($27000 - $660) × 2% = -$526.8

Net sales = $25813.2

b. Net sales = $25813.2

Less: cost of goods sold = $15000 - $400 = -$14600

Gross profit = $11213.2

Operating expense:

Less: Selling and administrative expenses = -$2835

Operating income = $8378.2

Non-operating items:

Less: Interest expense = ($200

Add: Gain on land Sales = $900

Net Income= $9078.2

c. The interest expense be shown on the statement of cash flows in the operating expenses section. It'll be recorded in the operating activities.

d. The sale of the land would be under the investing activity as it's capital asset of the business. Therefore, the full sales price of the land, $9,250, would be shown as a cash inflow from investing activities on the statement of cash flows.

Option B is the correct answer.

The auditors of Dunbar Electronics want to limit the risk of material misstatement in the valuation of inventories to 8 percent.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

a. Briefly discuss what is meant by audit risk, inherent risk and control risk.

Audit risk is the risk that the auditor expresses an inappropriate audit opinion when the financial statements are materially misstated.

Audit Risk = Inherent Risk x Control Risk x Detection Risk

Auditors will want their overall audit risk to be at an acceptable level. Inappropriate opinion will result in damages / costs

Inherent risk is the susceptibility of an assertion to a misstatement that could be material individually or when aggregated with other misstatements, assuming there were no related internal controls.

Control risk is the risk that a material misstatement, that could occur in an assertion and that could be material will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis by the entity's internal control.

b. What level of detection risk is implicit in this problem?

Detection risk is the risk that the procedures performed by the auditor to reduce audit risk to an acceptably low level will not detect a misstatement

In this case the detection risk given is 0.41.
