Answer: whether customers of the product would switch to other substitute products marketed by the same firm.
Explanation:
Customers regular move from one good to another or from one good to it's substitutes in a process called Customer Migration.
There are various reasons for this such as affordability, change in technology, trends and the like.
When a company contemplates ending a product line and decides to study customer migration patterns, they are checking to see what the customer will switch to when the product is deleted. If they make substitutes to the product to be deleted, they will be checking to see if the customers will switch to these substitutes if the product line is ended.
Answer:
a. Break-even point in sales units = 350,000 units
b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = 430,000 units
Explanation:
a. Break-even point in sales units = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,750,000 ÷ $5
= 350,000 units
Working note:- Contribution margin = $15 - $10 = $5
b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = fixed cost + Targeted profit ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,750,000 + $400,000 ÷ $5
= $2,150,000 ÷ $5
= 430,000 units

Answer:
A. Close the $2,500 to Cost of Goods Sold.
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the under applied overhead is shown below:
Cost of goods sold A/c Dr $2,500
To Manufacturing overhead A/c $2,500
(Being the under-applied overhead is recorded)
Since we have to record the under-applied, we debited the cost of goods sold account and credited the manufacturing overhead account
So, we close the cost of goods sold for $2,500
Answer:
(a) $56,730
(b) $36,330
(c) $ 51,800
(d) $24,800
(e) $36,230
Explanation:
(a) Gross profit for the Dalmatian Division:
= Net sales - Total Cost of goods sold
= $87,000 - $30,270
= $56,730
(b) Income from operations from the Dalmatian Division:
= Gross Profit - Direct operating expenses
= $56,730 - $20,400
= $36,330
(c) Gross profit for the Beagle Division:
= Net sales - Total Cost of goods sold
= $99,000 - $47,200
= $ 51,800
(d) Income from operations from the Beagle Division:
= Gross Profit - Direct operating expenses
= $51,800 - $27,000
= $24,800
(e) Total income from operations;
= $36,330 + $24,800
= $61,130
Earnings before interest and taxes:
= Total income from operations - General overhead
= $61,130 - $18,160
= $42,970
Earnings before taxes:
= Earnings before interest and taxes - Interest expense
= $42,970 - $2,040
= $40,930
Net income = Earnings before taxes - Income taxes
= $40,930 - $4,700
= $36,230
