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 (<em>from requirement 1</em>) + $19,700

Fixed cost = $675,700

Given,

Contribution Margin per unit = $96 (<em>From requirement 1</em>)

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:

Refer to the Article Summary. Implementing a negative interest rate policy, as is discussed in the article summary, would be designed to ___lower_____ the price level and ___improve_____ real GDP.

Explanation:

The Fed will consider negative interest rates when it wants to increase borrowing and lending during economic recessions. The effects of a negative interest rate are the reduction of the cost of borrowing economy-wide and the increase of economic activity. The increased economic activity will be achieved through increased investments and increased consumption spending. Thus, banks and consumers are encouraged to lend and borrow more money so that the economy can spend its way out of recession.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The correct solution is "6.09%".

Explanation:

Given:

Nominal rate,

= 6%

or,

= 0.06

As we know,

⇒ $EAR = [(1+\frac{APR}{m} )^m]-1$

By substituting the values, we get

$=[(1+\frac{0.06}{2} )^2]-1$

$=[(1+0.03 )^2]-1$

$=1.0609-1$

$=6.09$ (%)

When underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is prorated, amounts can be assigned to which of the following accounts?

laila [671]

Answer:

b. Cost of Goods Sold, Work-in-Process Inventory, and Finished-Goods Inventory.

Explanation:

Whenever manufacturing overheads are prorated and under-applied or over-applied, then they are charged to inventory or cost which includes overheads as part of it.

As for instance, raw material inventory do not include any overheads, it is just the purchase price of inventory, as no work is performed on it.

Cost of goods sold, includes all the cost incurred to sale the good, from acquiring raw material to converting finished goods, and then adding the sales expense the goods are sold.

Finished goods include every material and overhead to convert the item into finished state and usable state.

Work in process is half way completed, or the percentage prescribed and includes raw material, includes overheads, but the product is somewhere more than raw inventory and less than finished good.

Therefore, correct option is:

earnstyle [38]

Question Completion with Answer Options:

A. Yes, according to the terms of her contract.

B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

C. No, according to the at-will termination provision in her contract.

D. No, because subsequent conduct of the parties modified the contract.

Answer:

Fountain Valley, Inc. and Alice

B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

Explanation:

Alice is entitled to the bonus of $10,000 because the duty of good faith and fair dealing requires Fountain Valley not to deny Alice the benefits arising from their valid contract. Since Alice's employment contract included a 5% bonus of all sales in excess of the previous 12 months' sales, the Fountain Valley, Inc. should not deny Alice's claim to the benefits.

b) Employment contract terms = $78,000/year plus 5% bonus of all sale in excess of the previous 12 months' sales. The value of sales in 2017 is $200,000 more than in 2016. 5% of $200,000 = $10,000. Therefore, Alice is entitled to the bonus.
