Answer:

a) = 40660 units

b) = $335,445

c) = 58242 units

Explanation:

Lets summarize the information first,

F.C = $185,000

Direct Material (DM) = $3.20

Direct Labor (DL) = $6.00/hr or 6/12 = $0.5/product

Selling Price (SP) = $8.25

For a)

Break Even qty = F.C/Contribution Margin (CM)

CM = SP - (DM +DL per product)  =  8.25 - (3.2 + 0.5)  =  $4.55

Break even qty = 185000 / 4.55  = 40659.3 or 40660 units

For b)

The break even qty does not change with sales so at 55000 units of sale the qty required for B.E is still 40660 units thus B.E Sales = 40660* 8.25

Break even sales = $335,445

For c)

This can be calculated by factoring target profit into the fixed costs so,

Quantity @ target profit = F.C + Target profit / C.M

So,

Quantity @ target profit = 185000 + 80000 / 4.55  =  58242 units rounded off.

Direct material budget. Dawson Co. produces wine. The company expects to produce 2,535,000 two-liter bottles of Chablis in 2018.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

2,558,000 bottles

Explanation:

The formula for computation of the purchase is:

Purchase in units = Usage + Desired ending material inventory units − Beginning inventory units.

In format that will be:

Beginning inventory   54,000

Plus: Purchases.........2,558,000

Less:ending inventory <u>77,000</u>

Required For Use......<u>2,535,000</u>

Hence the number of bottles to be purchased in 2018 is 2,558,000

Applewood, Inc. has a contract with Marco's Electronics to sell Marco's 500 car audio systems at a price of $100 each. Applewood
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Applewood can stop the shipment and have the goods returned (the right of stoppage of goods).

Explanation:

When the buyer becomes insolvent while the goods are in transit, and the goods have not been paid yet, then the seller has the right to stop the delivery and resume possession of the goods.

Applewood could also try to sue Marco for specific performance but considering their current position it might be useless and actually result in more money invested and larger losses.

The double-entry principle in the balance-of-payments
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The Current account is for goods and services.

The Financial account is for exchange of currencies and financial assets across countries.

Miguel, a U.S. resident, buys an HDTV set for  $2,500 and sends it to Mexico as a gift to his parents. <u>DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. </u>

Miguel buys the good in the U.S. and then sends it so this falls under the current account alone.

Arielle, a French tourist, stays at a hotel in San  Francisco and pays $400 for it with her debit  card issued by a French bank. <u>DEBIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. </u>

The Financial account should be debited to show that currency is coming into the U.S. from outside the country and current account should be credited for services rendered.

A U.S. computer manufacturer purchases hard  drives from a Korean company, paying the funds  from its bank account in Korea. <u>DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. </u>

Current account should be debited to reflect that goods are coming into the country but the financial account should be credited to show that currency is leaving the ownership of an American entity so it is passing out of American hands.
