Answer: $379,500
Explanation:
Total Sales = <em>Break-even sales + Margin of Safety </em>
The Break-Even sales are therefore = 100% - 20%
= 80% of sales
Total Sales is therefore;
Break-even = 80% * Total Sales
Total Sales = Break-even/80%
= 759,000/0.8
= $948,750
Assuming no fixed costs, actual profit will be Sales less Variable expenses;
=Sales - Variable expenses
= 1 - 60%
Actual profit = 40% * Sales
= 40% * 948,750
= $379,500
Answer:
If both companies have the sames sales volume, total costs and income from operations, the reason why Gouda has a lower break even point is that their variable costs are lower. We use the contribution margin per unit to calculate the break even point and the contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs. The question states that total costs are equal, but it doesn't say anything about variable or fixed costs.
Assuming that Gouda is above break even point, each sale will generate a higher operating profit since the contribution margin is higher.
Explanation:
Answer: D. The investor has no tax liability on distributions received, and the investment company has no tax liability on retained income
Explanation:
Municipal Securities are exempt of Federal taxes and this is what makes them most attractive. An investor in a mutual fund which invests solely in municipal securities will therefore not have any tax liability because their returns would be based on securities that are federally tax exempt. The same goes for any income the Mutual fund intends to retain.
