Answer:

VC% = 73.5%

The New variable cost percentage of sales = 73.5%

Explanation:

Given;

New Fixed cost = $5.3 million

Total cost = $20 million

Total variable cost = $20 - $5.3 = $14.7 million

Variable cost percent=(total variable cost/total cost)×100%

VC% = (14.7/20) × 100%

VC% = 73.5%

Answer:

73.5%

Explanation:

Break-even is the level of sales at which the business have no profit no loss. At this point business only covers the the variable and fixed cost.

As we know the break-even sales value  can be calculated as follow:

Break-even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

As per given data

Break-even sales = $20 million

Fixed Cost = $5.3 million

Placing value in the formula

$20 million = $5.3 / Contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin ratio = $5.3 million / $20 million  = 0.265 = 26.5%

As we know

Contribution margin  = Sales - Variable cost

26.5% = 100% - Variable cost ratio

Variable cost ratio = 100% - 26.5% = 73.5%

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b. $18.15

Explanation:

Toatal money spent on product A is:

Activity 1: 700/1000*18000 = $12600

Activity 2: 500/600*24000 = $20000

Activity 3: 800/1200*60000 = $40000

Total money spent on product A = $12600 + $20000 + $40000

                                                       = $72600

Total units of product A formed = 4000

Cost per product = $72600/4000 =  $18.15

Therefore, The cost per unit of Product A under activty-based costing is closest to  $18.15.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The method 1 will have a bigger forecast bias ( whose value is 5 ) than the method 2 ( whose value 0 ).

Explanation:

To know which method will have the bigger forecast bias , we will see the deviation of both methods from the actual forecast numbers and then by seeing which one is having a bigger deviation value , we can say which one is having bigger forecast bias.

FORECAST BIAS = ACTUAL NUMBER - FORECAST NUMBER

Actual           Forecast        Forecast        Forecast             Forecast

caller turn      method 1       method 2      bias method 1    bias method 2

23                    23                  20                  0                           3

10                     5                    13                   5                           -3

15                     14                   14                   1                             1

19                     20                  20                 -1                            -1

TOTAL                                                          5                             0

from the above information we can say that the method 1 with forecast bias value of 5 is much bigger than the method 2 with forecast bias value of 0.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The 10,000 units of output that will be supplied by the two firms to the market.

Profit that each firm would earn will be higher than previous.

Explanation:

The firm selling 4,000 units at the price of $10 per unit. If the output is increased to 6,000 units the price will increase to $11 per unit. If the new 6,000 units are produced along with the previous 4,000 units then the total output supplied by the two firms will be 10,000 units (6,000 + 4,000). The supply of goods in the market will increase so price will fall and the revenue for the firms will decline but they can benefit with sales volume and their profit can increase.
