Exercise 5-1 The Effect of Changes in Activity on Net Operating Income [LO5-1] Whirly Corporation’s contribution format income s
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

See the explanation.

Explanation:

Requirement 1

New sales volume after increasing 40 units = (7,200 + 40) = 7,240 units. The revised net operating income is calculated as follows

                          Whirly Corporation’s

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended December 31 20YY

Sales Revenue (7,240 × 33) = $ 237,600 (Note - 1)

Less: Variable expense (7,240 × 19) = 136,800 (Note - 2)

Contribution Margin = $100,800

Less: Fixed Expense  $54,900

Net Operating Income $45,900

Note 1: Sale price per unit $237,600 ÷ 7,200 = $35

Note 2: Variable expense per unit $136,800 ÷ 7,200 = $20

Requirement 2

From requirement 1 we get,

Sale price per unit = $33

Variable expense per unit = $19

New sales volume after decreasing 40 units = (7,200 - 40) = 7,160 units. The revised net operating income is calculated as follows

                           Whirly Corporation’s

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended December 31 20YY

Sales Revenue (7,160 × 33) = $236,280

Less: Variable expense (7,160 × 19) = $136,040

Contribution Margin = $100,240

Less: Fixed Expense  $54,900

Net Operating Income $45,340

Requirement 3

From requirement 1 we get

Sale price per unit = $33

Variable expense per unit = $19

If the sales volume is 6,200 units, the revised net operating income is calculated as follows

                        Whirly Corporation’s

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended December 31 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,200 × 33) = $204,600

Less: Variable expense (6,200 × 19) = $117,800

Contribution Margin = $86,800

Less: Fixed Expense  $54,900

Net Operating Income           $31,900

If the company sells 6,200 units, the company can still make a profit.

A company had a beginning balance in retained earnings of $430,000. It had net income of $60,000 and declared and paid cash divi
ella [17]

Answer:

b. $433,750

Explanation:

The ending balance in retained earnings can be calculated as;

= Beginning balance + Net income - Cash dividends

Given that;

Beginning balance = $430,000

Net income = $60,000

Cash dividends = $56,250

= $430,000 + $60,000 - $56,250

= $433,750

Therefore, the ending balance in retained earnings is $433,750

A salesperson working for Broker A sells a $150,000 home listed with another brokerage. The listing commission is 6.5 percent of
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

She is entitled to $3,217.5

Explanation:

First the amount the brokers and sales person are interested in is 6.5% of the selling price ($150,000). so calculating 6.5% of the selling price;

6.5% = 6.5/100 = 0.065

∴ 6.5% of $150,000 = 0.065 × 150,000 = $9,750

Next, we are interested in the cooperating broker (Broker A), who the sales person works for. Note that a cooperating broker is the broker who facilitates a real estate transaction, along with a listing broker who listed the property, and in this case the listing broker is Broker A, who the sales person works for.

We are told that the cooperating broker takes 60% of the listing commission ($9,750);

Therefore, 60% of $9,750 = 0.6 × 9,750 = $5,850

Next, we are also told that out of this amount, the sales person is responsible for 55% of the listing commission entering the cooperate broker's office;

Therefore, 55% of $5,850 = 0.55 × 5,850 = $3,217.5

Therefore the sales person is entitled to $3,217.5

The price of a gallon of gasoline was $0.35 in 1972 when the CPI equaled 0.418. The price of a gallon of gasoline was $2.25 in 2
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

increased

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Price of a gallon of gasoline in 1972 = $0.35

CPI in 1972 = 0.418

Price of a gallon of gasoline in 2005 = $2.25

CPI in 2005 = 1.68

Now,

Real cost in 1972 = [ Nominal cost in 1972 ] ÷ [ CPI in 1972 ]

= $0.35 ÷ 0.418

= $0.837

Real cost in 2005 = [ Nominal cost in 2005 ] ÷ [ CPI in 2005 ]

= $2.25 ÷ 1.68

= $1.34

Hence,

The price of gallon of gasoline increased between 1972 and 2005
