It is called the law of demand and supply whereby when the supply of commodity increases, the need reduces. The market becomes flooded with the items while the number of customers is constant. Moreover, when the supply of a good diminishes its demand goes up.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Variable cost as a percent of sales:
= (Variable expenses ÷ Sales) × 100
= ($3,000,000 ÷ $5,000,000) × 100
= 60%
If Sales = X
then Variable cost is 0.6X (i.e. 60% of Sales)
Sales - Variable cost - fixed expenses = net operating income
X - 0.6X - 1,500,000 = 300,000
0.4X = 300000 + 1500000 = 1800000
X = 1800000 ÷ 0.4
= 4,500,000
Answer:
The budgeted variable overhead for May is $5,335
The budgeted variable overhead for June is $7,260
The budgeted fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month
Explanation:
First we have to determine how many tricycles does Becker Bikes expects to manufacture during May and June:
May:
beginning inventory May 180
expected sales May 520
ending inventory May 145
Becker is planning to manufacture 485 tricycles (= 520 + 145 -180)
June:
beginning inventory May 145
expected sales May 650
ending inventory May 155
Becker is planning to manufacture 660 tricycles (= 650 + 155 -145)
The budgeted variable overhead for May = 485 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $5,335
The budgeted variable overhead for June = 660 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $7,260
The fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month
