Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                   =  $3,000 - $2,000

                                                                   = $1,000

A.

(1) Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ marketing\ plan}

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{400,000}{1,000}

Break even in marketing plan = 400

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 400 × 3,000

= 1,200,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                                = 1,500,000 - 1,200,000

                                = 300,000

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{Margin\ of\ safety}{Actual\ sales}

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{300,000}{1,500,000}

                                             = 20%

B.

(1) Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                   =  $4,000 - $2,000

                                                                   = $2,000

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{Fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ per\ marketing\ plan}

Break-even\ in\ rooms=\frac{400,000}{2,000}

Break even in marketing plan = 200

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 200 × 4,000

= 800,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                                = 1,500,000 - 800,000

                                = 700,000

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{Margin\ of\ safety}{Actual\ sales}

Margin\ of\ safety\ ratio=\frac{700,000}{1,500,000}

                                             = 47%

Therefore, option (a) would achieve the margin of safety ratio more than 45%.

Sudoku Company issues 17,000 shares of $8 par value common stock in exchange for land and a building. The land is valued at $230
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Debit Land for $230,000

Debit Building for $372,000

Credit Common Stock (w.1) for $136,000

Credit Paid in capital in excess of per value (w.2)  for $466,000

Explanation:

The journal entry will look as follows:

<u>Account Name                                                Dr ($)                  Cr ($)           </u>

Land                                                             230,000

Building                                                        372,000

Common Stock (w.1)                                                                136,000

Paid in capital in excess of per value (w.2)                           466,000

<u><em>(To record issuance of stock in exchange for the land and building.)         </em></u>

Workings:

w.1: Common stock = Number of shares issued * Price per share = 17,000 * $8 = $136,000

w.2: Paid in capital in excess of per value = Value of land + Value of building - Common stock = $230,000 + $372,000 - $136,000 = $466,000

Amanda [17]

Te recomiendo el siguiente libro que te puede ayudar.

"La Sabiduría de las Finanzas. Descubre el lado humano en el mundo del riesgo y del rendimiento." El autor es Mihir A. Desai.  Hay otro que te puede servir que se llama "El Pequeño Libro de los Altos Rendimientos con Bajo Riesgo. El autor es "Pim Van Vliet. Ambos hablan del los riesgos de las inversiones y los rendimientos en un mundo volátil.

La otra opción es que busques otros libros de Administración y Finanzas en donde venga el subtema de riesgos y rendimientos, aunque podrían no estar tan completos como el desarrollo que le dan al tema en los libros mencionados.
