Answer:

$10,000

Explanation:

We need to find the segment margin of the deparment, which is equal to annual contribution margin minus avoidable fixed costs:

Wallen Corporation

Annual contribution margin            $80,000

Annual fixed costs                           $160,000

Unavoidable fixed costs                 $90,000

Avoidable fixed costs                     $70,000

Segment Margin  = Annual contribution margin - avoidable fixed costs

                             = $80,000 - $70,000

                             = $10,000

Therefore, if the company eliminated this department, it would have a financial advantage of $10,000, equivalent to the deparment's current segment margin.

If sales are $540,000, expenses are $440,000 and dividends are $50,000, what is the balance of income Summary prior to closing?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

d. It will have a credit balance of $100,000.

Explanation:

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

So, the balance of income summary equals to

= Sales - expenses

= $540,000 - $440,000

= $100,000

The dividend should be deducted from the retained earning account. Hence, it will not be consider here

Use the following scenario to answer the next ten questions: Natasha can produce either 5,000 pounds of cheese or 20 houses per
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Jameson’s opportunity cost of producing one pound of cheese is 0,002 house(s).

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. Resources are limited, therefore the decision to make a quantity of product A limits the amount of producing product B.

In this exercise, Jameson has the resources to produce 5000 pounds of cheese or 10 houses per year or a combination of both.

To calculate the opportunity cost you need to determine how much of a house is 1 pound of cheese.

Opportunity cost= 10house/5000pounds= 0,002

<u>So to produce 1 pound of cheese you need 0,002 of a house.</u>
