Answer:

1. $30,80

2. 21,500 units and $946,000

3. 33,000 units and $1,452,000

4. 16,125 units and $709,500 , $1,089,000

Explanation:

<u>The variable expenses per unit</u>

First determine the variable expenses ratio

Variable expenses ratio = 1 - CM ratio

                                        = 1-0.30

                                        = 0.70

Variable expenses per unit = $44.00 ×0.70

                                             = $30,80

<u>Break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales</u>

break-even point in unit sales  = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit

                                                   = $283,800/ ($44.00×30%)

                                                   = $283,800/$13.20

                                                   = 21,500

break-even point in in dollar sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                         = $283,800/0.30

                                                         = $946,000

<u>Amount of unit sales and dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $151,800 per year</u>

Target Sales (Unit Sales) = Fixed Costs + Target Profit / Contribution per Unit

                                          = ($283,800 + $151,800) / $13.20

                                          = 33,000

Target Sales (Dollar Sales) = Fixed Costs + Target Profit / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                           = ($283,800 + $151,800) / 0.30

                                           = $1,452,000

<u>the company’s new break-even point in unit sales and in dollar sales</u>

break-even point in unit sales  = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit

                                                   = $283,800/ ($44.00-$30,80+$4.40)

                                                   = $283,800/$17,60

                                                   = 16,125

break-even point in in dollar sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                         = $283,800/($17,60/$44.00)

                                                         = $283,800/0.40

                                                         = $709,500

<u>dollar sales is required to attain a target profit of $151,800</u>

Target Sales (Dollar Sales) = Fixed Costs + Target Profit / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                           = ($283,800 + $151,800) / 0.40

                                           = $1,089,000

Answer:

<em><u>current scenario</u></em>

Variable cost: $30.80

BEP in dollar $946.000‬

Sales to profit of 151,800:   $   1,452,000

<u><em>if variable cost decrease by $4.40</em></u>

BEP $709,500

to profit: $1,089,000

Explanation:

the Contribution margin ratio is what is left fro mthe sales price after paying the variable cost:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

\frac{Contribution \: Margin}{Sales \: Revenue} = Contribution \: Margin \: Ratio

( 44 - variable cost ) / 44 = 0.3

44 - 0.3 x 44 = variable cost = 30,80

The break even point is the sales volume at which the operating income is zero:

\frac{Fixed\:Cost}{Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio} = Break\: Even\: Point_{dollars}

283,800 / 0.3 = 946.000‬

A profit of 151,800 is achieve when selling above enought to make that 30%

151,800 / 0.3   =   506.000‬   + 946,000 = 1,452,000

other way would be:

( 283,800 + 151,800 ) / 0.3 = 1,452,000

if variable expense decrease by 4.4 then:

(44 - 30.8 + 4.4) / 44 = 0.4

we recalculate:

283,800 / 0.4 = 709,500

to profit

( 283,800 + 151,800 ) / 0.4 = 1,089,000

Culver Corporation purchased machinery on January 1, 2022, at a cost of $288,000. The estimated useful life of the machinery is
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchasing price= $288,000

Useful life= 4 years

Salvage value= $33,800

First, we will calculate the depreciation expense using the straight-line method:

Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)

Annual depreciation= (288,000 - 33,800)/4

Annual depreciation= $63,550

Now, using the double-declining balance:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Year 1= 2*63,550= 127,100

Year 2= [(254,200 - 127,100)/4]*2= $63,550

Year 3= [(127,100 - 63,550)/4]*2= $31,775

Year 4= [(63,550 - 31,775)/]*2= $15,887.5

On January 1, 2016, Miller Corporation had retained earnings of $8,000,000. During 2016, Miller reported net income of $1,500,00
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Miller's retained earnings on December 31, 2016 is $9,000,000.

Explanation:

Miller's retained earnings on 31 December 2016 = retained earnings on January 1, 2016 + net income - declared dividends

= $8,000,000 + $1,500,000 - $500,000

= $ 9,000,000

Therefore, Miller's retained earnings on December 31, 2016 is $9,000,000.
