Chocolates R' Us, Inc is owned equally by Desi and his wife Lucy, each of whom hold 550 shares in the company. Lucy plans to red

uce her ownership in the company, with the company planning to redeem 475 of her shares for $10,000 per share on December 31 of this year. Assume Desi and Lucy are not getting along and have separated due to marital discord, but are not legally separated. Because they no longer talk to each other, they communicate only through their accountant. Lucy wants to argue that she should not be treated as owning any of Desi's stock in Chocolates because of their hostility toward each other. Can family hostility be used as an argument to voice the family attribution rules?

Answer:

Chocolates R' Us, Inc.

Family hostility cannot be used as an argument to void the family attribution rules.

Lucy is still legally married to Desi.  What the husband, Desi, therefore, owes, she owes equally despite their separation and her intention to reduce her ownership in their joint company.

Explanation:

Family Attribution Rules:  Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code says an individual shall be considered as owning the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his spouse and his children, grandchildren, and parents, including legally adopted children.

Break-Even Sales Under Present and Proposed Conditions
solong [7]

Answer:

<h3>Portmann Company</h3>

1. Total variable costs = $89,000,000

Total fixed costs = $40,600,000

2. a Unit variable cost = $89

b. Unit contribution margin = $100

3. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= $40,600,000/$100

= 406,000 units

4. Break-even sales (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= $45,100,000/$100

= 451,000 units

5. Break-even sales (units) to achieve target profit = (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Contribution margin per unit

= ($45,100,000 + $59,400,000)/$100

= 1,045,000 units

6. Maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant is:

= $61,900,000

7. Operating income if the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level is:

= $54,900,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales volume during current year = 1,000,000

Sales price per unit during current year = $189

Income statement is as follows:

Sales                                $189,000,000

Cost of goods sold           (101,000,000)

Gross profit                      $88,000,000

Expenses:

Selling expenses             $16,000,000

Administrative expenses  12,600,000

Total expenses                (28,600,000)

Operating income          $59,400,000

                                      Variable    Fixed

Cost of goods sold           70%        30%

Selling expenses              75%        25%

Administrative expenses 50%        50%

Total variable costs for the current year:

                                      Variable  

Cost of goods sold           70% * $101,000,000 = $70,700,000

Selling expenses              75% * $16,000,000 =     12,000,000

Administrative expenses 50% * $12,600,000 =      6,300,000

Total variable costs = $89,000,000

Variable unit cost = $89 ($89,000,000/1,000,000)

Contribution per unit = $100 ($189 - $89)

Total fixed costs for the current year:

                                          Fixed

Cost of goods sold             30% * $101,000,000 = $30,300,000

Selling expenses                25% * $16,000,000  =      4,000,000

Administrative expenses   50% * $12,600,000 =       6,300,000

Total fixed costs =  $40,600,000

Projected sales for the next year = $202,230,000 ($189,000,000 + $13,230,000)

Percentage Increase in sales for the next year = $13,250,000/$189,000,000 * 100 = 7%

Fixed costs caused by expansion = $4,500,000

Total fixed costs = $45,100,000 ($40,600,000 + $4,500,000)

Variable costs = $95,230,000 ($89,000,000 * 1.07)

Contribution margin:

Sales                                $202,230,000

Variable costs                      95,230,000

Contribution margin        $107,000,000

Expenses:

Fixed costs                          45,100,000

Operating income            $61,900,000

Sales volume = 1,070,000 units (1,000,000 * 1.07)

Contribution per unit = $107,000,000/1,070,000 = $100

Sales at current level:

Sales                                $189,000,000

Variable costs                     89,000,000

Contribution                    $100,000,000

Fixed costs                          45,100,000  

Operating income           $54,900,000

defon

Answer:

The overview of the given statement is described in the explanation segment below.

Explanation:

<u>Monopoly Market: </u>

  • The demand curve or market price towards the firm was indeed sloping downhill. MR is also below P and AR.
  • Therefore, when earnings are maximized, whereby MR = MC has been used. Price is therefore above MR (Marginal Revenue).

<u>Perfectly Competitive Market: </u>

  • The  price shall be calculated whenever market forces are equivalent.
  • The firm seems to be the fixed price and therefore the individual company market price becomes horizontal.

Thus,

⇒  AR=P =MR

Hence,

⇒  P = MR
