Answer:

Vault-Tec's break-even level of sales ==$3,000,000  

Explanation:

Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss.

It is calculated using this formula:

Break-even point (sales) = Fixed cost/c/s ratio.

c/s means contribution to sales ratio

C/s ratio = (sales - variable cost)/sales

C/S is the proportion of sales value that is earned as contribution. its is sales less variable costs.

So if for an instance, variable costs are 60% of sales, then contribution will be 40% of sales i.e (100-60)% .

<em>Now we can apply these concepts to our questions:</em>

c/s =( 100-75)% = 25%

Break-even point( sales) = (1,000,000- 250,000)/25%

                                         = 750,000/0.25

                                          =$3,000,000

<em>Note that depreciation is excluded from the fixed costs because it is a non-cash flow item.</em>

Vault-Tec's break-even level of sales ==$3,000,000

                       January     February    March

Cash sales      $50,000   <u>$55,000</u>    <u>$60,500</u>

Credit sales    $120,000  <u>$132,000</u>  <u>$145,200</u>

Cash sales = 50,000+(50,000*10%) = $55,000

Credit sales= 120,000+(120,000*10%) = $132,000

March

Using the following information, prepare a vertical analysis of two years' income statements. Fees Earned is $153,500 for Year 2
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

(B) Operating income has increased as a percentage of revenue

Explanation:

Conducting a vertical analysis,

Operating income (year 1) = Fees earned, less operating expenses

= 149,700 - 127,245 = $22,455

Therefore operating income as a percentage of revenue = 22,455/149,700 = 15%.

Operating income (year 2) = 153,500 - 122,800 = $30,700

Therefore operating income as a percentage of revenue = 30,700/153,500 = 20%.

Therefore, operating income as a percentage of revenue increased from year 1 to year 2.
