Answer:

A) to calculate the break even point we can use the following:

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin

break even point = 125,000 / (9 - 6.5) = 125,000 / 2.5 = 50,000 units

The company must sell over 50,000 units to make a profit

B) if the unit production costs increase 10%, the new unit cost will be $7.15, and the new break even point will be: 125,000 / (9 - 7.15) = 125,000 / 1.85 = 67,567.6 which we round up to 67,568 units.

Now the company must sell at least 67,568 units to make a profit

C) If the company wants to increase its product price to a level where the break even point is 50,000 units, then the new price should be $9.65.

The contribution margin must be $2.5, so if the production costs are $7.15, we just add $2.5 to get $9.65 per unit.

Botosan Factory has budgeted factory overhead for the year at $717,474, and budgeted direct labor hours for the year are 364,200
Mila [183]

Answer:

$652,858

Explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity

                                                    = $717,474 ÷  364,200

                                                    = $1.97 per direct labor hour

Allocated overheads = Predetermined overhead rate x Actual Activity

                                    = $1.97 x  331,400 direct labor hours

                                     = $652,858

therefore,

The overhead allocated for May is $652,858.

Assume that Global Cleaning Service performed cleaning services for a department store on account for​ $180. How would this tran
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(B) Increase both assets and equity by $180

Explanation:

The transaction analysis model tells us that:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends

and

Net Income = Income − Expenses

The expanded accounting equation is obtain if all substitutions are made:

Asset = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income – Expenses − Dividends

In the Global Cleaning Service`s case:

Assets are increased either because the service is collected or is an account receivable. As the service provided is a revenue (income) is part of the Owner's Equity that also increase. Both, Asset and Owner's Equity, increase in 180.
