Russell Preston delivers parts for several local auto parts stores. He charges clients $1.30 per mile driven. Russell has determ

ined that if he drives 3,500 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.85 per mile. If he drives 4,500 miles in a month, his average operating cost is $0.75 per mile. Use this information and the high-low method to determine that his monthly cost equation is: total cost = $1,220.00 + $0.29 per mile.
A. Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even?
B. Assume Russell drove 2,500 miles last month. Without making any additional calculations, determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month.
C. Determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $2,135.00 in profit.
D. Prepare a contribution margin income statement assuming Russell drove 2,500 miles last month.
E. Use the above information to calculate Russell’s degree of operating leverage.

Answer:

A. Determine how many miles Russell needs to drive to break even?

break even formula = total fixed costs / contribution margin

  • total fixed costs = $1,220
  • contribution margin = $1.30 - $0.29 = $1.01

break even formula = $1,220 / $1.01 = 1,207.9 ≈ 1,208 miles

B. Assume Russell drove 2,500 miles last month. Without making any additional calculations, determine whether he earned a profit or a loss last month.

if he drove 2,500 he made a profit because it is more than the break even point.

C. Determine how many miles Russell must drive to earn $2,135.00 in profit.

($1,220 + $2,135) / $1.01 = 3,321.7 ≈ 3,322 miles

D. Prepare a contribution margin income statement assuming Russell drove 2,500 miles last month.

total revenue                         $3,250

<u>- variable costs                       ($725)</u>

contribution margin              $2,525

<u>- fixed costs                         ($1,220)</u>

net income                            $1,305

E. Use the above information to calculate Russell’s degree of operating leverage.

Degree of operating leverage = contribution margin / operating income = $2,525 / $3,250 = 0.7769 or 77.69%

Department F had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $13,400. Of
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a.$3.35

Explanation:

The first step in determining  conversion cost per unit is to calculate the Total Equivalent units of production for Conversion Costs.

Conversion Costs

Units Completed and transferred (15,000 × 100%) = 15,000

Units in Ending Work In Process (3,000 × 75%)      =  2,250

Total Equivalent units of production                        =  17,250

The next step is to determine the total conversion cost of production incurred during the period.

Conversion Costs

Conversion Costs in Beginning Work In Process                               $4,800

Conversion Costs added during the period ($33,000 + $20,000) $53,000

Total Conversion Costs                                                                      $57,800

Finally calculate the conversion cost per unit

Conversion cost per unit = Total Conversion Costs  / Total Equivalent units of production

                                         = $57,800 / 17,250

                                         = $3.35 (to the nearest cent)

The correct answer is letter "D": Price will increase, and quantity will increase.

Explanation:

If a natural disaster cuts the supply for water in a region, bottled water will face an <em>increase in its quantity demanded</em> as a substitute. Besides, due to scarcity, the bottled water is likely to face an increase in its price, thus, the <em>equilibrium price of bottled water increases</em>.

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is: Question 20
irina [24]

Answer:

c. half of the order quantity

Explanation:

Based on the constant demand assumption in the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, the average cycle inventory is <u>half of the order quantity</u>

Economic order quantity is a quantity which minimizes the ordering cost and holding cost  

Q = EOQ = \sqrt{2*D*S/ H} where  D = Demand unit, S = Order cost and H = Holding cost

- Ordering cost and the Holding at EOQ will be same

- Average inventory = Q/2

- Average inventory is the half of the order quantity.
