Answer:

The correct answer is total revenue; total cost.

Explanation:

Cost reduction is one of the most addressed issues in companies. They do it all the time since it is a permanent process. This is because it always seeks to improve the profitability of the company and, consequently, productivity. In other words, try to "do more with less", which is to produce more with what you have or produce the same with lower expenses. In both cases the objective is to reduce costs.

A company can reduce costs for many reasons: for a drop in sales, for lack of liquidity, for not having access to credit, etc. And when this happens, the cost cut occurs in the areas of human resources with the dismissal of personnel, the restructuring of the purchase processes, changes of suppliers, among other measures.

It is important to know what the current production process is and, if possible, redesign it, seeking to eliminate unnecessary steps, that is, to shorten the production processes. A long production line implies a greater number of workers, more work in the process and more time in product development. It also increases the possibility of errors in the process.

To make the cost reduction in your company even more efficient, you need to know each process deeply to detect unnecessary steps and help you reduce processes and / or procedures that in the medium or long term translate into cost reduction.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Net Income = $28,070

Explanation:

As for the provided details:

Balances as on December 31, 2014

Cash = $70,050

Accounts Receivables = $40,000

Inventory = $77,000

Total Assets = $187,050

Accounts Payable = $13,600

Note Payable = $3,400

Interest payable = $180

Total Liabilities = $17,180

Common Stock = $70,900 + $70,900 = $141,800

Retained earnings = $28,070

Total Stockholder's Equity = $169,870

Total of Equity and Liabilities = $187,050

Now, since it is the first year of operations, the balance of retained earnings in beginning = $0.

Also no dividend is paid, therefore, net income for the year shall be

Opening Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividend = Closing Retained Earnings

$0 + Net Income - $0 = $28,070

Thus, Net Income = $28,070

Required 3.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334
