Answer:

(1) 0.4 or 40%

(2) $400

Explanation:

1)

Unit selling price = Total sales ÷  Number of units

                            = $200,000 ÷  50,000

                            = $4

Unit variable expense = Total variable expenses ÷ number of units

                                    = $120,000 ÷ 50,000

                                    = $2.4

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

                                               = $4 - $2.4

                                               = $1.6

Now, computing the contribution margin ratio as :

 Contribution margin ratio = Unit Contribution margin ÷ Unit selling price

                                          = $1.6 / $4

                                          = 0.4 or 40%

(2) Change in net operating income:

= Increase in total sales ×   Contribution margin ratio

= $1,000 × 0.4

= $400

Therefore, the net operating income increases by $400.

bearhunter [10]

N(Number of periods) = 30periods ( 15 years x 2)

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Usually, we use the "Income Summary" account to close the Income Statement accounts such as revenues and expenses.

First, close the revenue account by debiting it:

(DR) Service Revenue $450,000

(CR)       Income Summary    $450,000

Then, close the expenses accounts by crediting them:

(DR) Income Summary $407,000

(CR)        Salaries Expense       $350,000

(CR)        Rent Expense              $17,500

(CR)       Depreciation Expense   $35,000

(CR)      Interest Expense             $4,500

Finally, close the Income Summary account to Retained Earnings.

The balance of the Income Summary is a credit balance of $43,000

(credit of $450,000 less debit of $407,000)

So, to close the account we have to debit it.

(DR)  Income Summary      $43,000

(CR)               Retained Earnings          $43,000
