Answer:

A) $200,000

Explanation:

In this case, Haft has a wide range of possible losses, between $200,000 to $300,000. Since no amount is more probable than others, then the company can decide to report the lowest estimate as long as all the other estimates have the same probability of happening. But if another estimate was probable, e.g. $220,000, then that estimate should be recorded even if it was higher.

Answer:

Matrix organization structure

Explanation:

A matrix organizational structure is a work arrangement in which employees report to two or more supervisors rather than one line manager overseeing every project aspect. The reporting relationships are grid-like, with employees reporting to both product and functional managers. For example, an employee may have a direct manager they report to, plus one or more project managers they operate under.

The matrix organizational structure is useful when sharing skills across departments is necessary to complete a project.

Would you prefer a fully taxable investment earning 8.1 percent or a tax-exempt investment earning 6.1 percent? (assume a 28 per
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Prefer the 6.1 percent tax-exempt investment. Let's do the math and see why the tax-exempt investment is the better choice. For the 8.1% taxable investment, you get taxed at the rate of 28%. Which means that you only get to keep 100%-28% = 72% of your gains. So 0.72 * 8.1 = 5.832 which means your effective earning percentage is only 5.832% which is less than the 6.1% rate you get for the tax-exempt investment. Another consideration that wasn't taken into account for the question is the earnings on the taxable investment may push you up into a higher tax bracket. Which in turn increases the tax burden on your other investments. So the better choice here is the 6.1% tax-exempt investment even though that first glance the 8.1% investment looks higher.</span>

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Contribution margin ratio = 25% ($40/$160 * 100)

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

Break-even point in dollars = $525,000/25% = $2,100,000
