Answer:

hence we say that minimum number of units to ensure its potential loss does not exceed the desired level is 3249 unit

Explanation:

Given data

fixed costs = $32000

depreciation = $9700

contribution margin = $9.85 per unit

to find out

minimum number of units

solution

we first find the break point so

break point = Fixed cost / contribution

put all these value

break point = 32000 / 9.85

break point is 3248.73

approx = 3249 unit

so hence we say that minimum number of units to ensure its potential loss does not exceed the desired level is 3249 unit

Celestin Manufacturing Company incurred $5,000 of depreciation on its manufacturing equipment during its first year of operation
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. $5,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement.

Explanation:

Assuming the company uses straight line method of depreciation, then cost of depreciation is $5,000 each year.

Now, under the income statement as per GAAP, the cost of goods sold only includes the direct cost associated with manufacturing the product.

It does not included fixed cost like depreciation.

As the depreciation is fixed and does not depend on number of units produced and sold, the depreciation to be charged in income statement = $5,000.

Therefore, the correct option is

A. $5,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement.

vichka [17]

Answer:

<em>Part 1.  total contribution margin in dollars</em>

Total Contribution Margin  = $37,800

<em>Part 2. per unit contribution margin</em>

contribution margin per unit of sell  = $ 60

<em>Part 3. contribution margin ratio</em>

contribution margin ratio  = 50 %

<em>Part 4. break-even point in dollars</em>

break-even point in dollars  = $ 52,320

<em>Part 5. break-even point in units</em>

break-even point in units  = 436 clients

Explanation:

<em>Part 1.  total contribution margin in dollars</em>

contribution margin per unit of sell = Sales Price × 50%

                                                             = $120 × 50%

                                                             = $ 60

Total Contribution Margin = Number of Clients × Contribution Margin per unit

                                              = 630 × $60

                                              = $37,800

<em>Part 2. per unit contribution margin</em>

contribution margin per unit of sell = Sales Price × 50%

                                                             = $120 × 50%

                                                             = $ 60

<em>Part 3. contribution margin ratio</em>

contribution margin ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                            = $ 60/ $ 120

                                            = 50 %

<em>Part 4. break-even point in dollars</em>

break-even point in dollars = Fixed Costs / contribution margin ratio

                                               =  $26,160 / 0.50

                                               = $ 52,320

<em>Part 5. break-even point in units</em>

break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / contribution per unit

                                            = $26,160 / $60

                                            = 436 clients

Substitutes have a(n): Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. in
hjlf

Answer: positive cross elasticity of demand.

   

Explanation: In simple words, cross elasticity refers to the degree of change in the demand of a good with respect to change in the price of another goods.

In case of substitute goods, one good can easily be used in the place of another good. Thus, if the price of one good increases the demand for its substitute good also increases.

Hence from the above we can conclude that substitute goods have positive cross elasticity.
