Answer:

a. $85,000.

Explanation:

The formula to compute the cost of goods sold is shown below:

Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchase - ending inventory

Since in the question the cost of goods sold is not given, so first we have to find it.

Let we assume the cost of good sold be X

And, the net sales is $1,500,000 and Percentage markup on cost 66.67%

By this information, we have to make the equation which is shown below:

$1,500,000 = X × (66.67% + 100)

$1,500,000 = 66.67X + 100X

$1,500,000 = 166.67%X

So, X = $1,500,000 ÷ 166.67% = $899,982

The other items values remain the same

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

$899,982 = $250,000 + $750,000 - ending inventory

So, the ending inventory = $100,018

So, the estimated ending inventory = Ending inventory - undamaged inventory

= $100,018 - $15,000

= $85,018

Step 1) Determine the cost of using Henderson

What is the cost per tank  truck = $600

What is the capacity in gallons = 700 galloons

However, since XYZ Chemical needs to ship 9,600 gallons, it means it will make use of 2 trucks from Henderson as follows

The cost of Henderson Bulk Trucking = $600 x 2 = $1,200

Step 2) Determine the cost of using Central Railroad

What is the cost per tank  truck = $1000

What is the capacity in gallons = 23,500 galloons

since XYZ Chemical needs to ship 9,600 gallons, it means it will make use of only one of the trucks

The cost of Central Roilroad= $1000 x 1 = $1,000

Based on the calculations, Central States Railroad is better at a lower cost than Henderson

Sabv Corporation's break-even-point in sales is $840,000, and its variable expenses are 75% of sales. If the company lost $34,00
zhuklara [117]

Answer:sales must have amounted to:$704,000

Explanation:

Contribution ratio = Sales ratio - Variable cost ratio

= 100%- 75%

=25%

Sales to break even = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio

Therefore,

 Fixed expenses = Sales to break even   x  Contribution margin ratio

=$840,000 x 25%

=$210,000

Contribution margin can also be calculated as

Fixed expenses- Operating loss

=$210,000 -$34,000

=$176,000

Sales = Contribution margin/ Contribution ratio

= $176,000/25% =$704,000
