Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

1. The break even point for flowers = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

Where contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $500,000 / ($20 - $10)

= $500,000 / $10

= 50,000 units

Therefore,

Break even point for the Mugger is 50,000 units.

Break even points for Dogs = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin

= $500,000 / ($25 -$20)

= $500,000 / $5

= 100,000 units

Break even points Sports = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

= $500,000 / ($10 - $6)

= $500,000 / $4

= 125,000 units

2. I can recommend that the mugger should change its product mix from 1:4:2 (Flowers, dogs, sports) to 4:2:1 (Flowers , dogs , sports)

• Because there is an increase in the break even points for each of the mugger.

Answer:

B) $23,000.

Explanation:

ABC's accumulated net income (or retained earnings) over the past four years = $8,000 + $5,000 + $12,000 + $10,000 = $35,000

ABC's accumulated dividends paid over the past four years = $3,000 x 4 = $12,000

Since dividends are paid using money that proceeds from retained earnings, the balance of the retained earnings account = accumulated retained earnings - accumulated dividends = $35,000 - $12,000 = $23,000

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w

OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

Actual production= 11,700 units.

The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $\textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}$

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= $\$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.$

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}$

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)$

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
