Answer:

  • <u>Funtime must sell 510 standard quadcopters and 340 deluxe quadcopters every month to breakeven.</u>

<u></u>

  • <u>Funtime must sell 840 standard quadcopters and 560 deluxe quadcopters to earn $ 7,700 monthly.</u>

Explanation:

<u>A. To breakeven, the revenue must equal the total costs.</u>

<u>1. Write the expresssion of revenue</u>

Revenue = price × number of units

Revenue from standard quadcopter

    Naming s the number of standard quadcopters sold:

  • $55 × s = 55s

Revenue from deluxe quadcopter

    Naming d the number of deluxe quadcopters sold:

  • $85 × d = 85d

Total revevue:

  • 55s + 85d

<u />

<u>2. Write the expression of cost</u>

Purchase price of standard quadcopters

  • $45s

Purchase price of deluxe quadcopters

  • $65d

Fixed  monthly expenses

  • $11,900

Total cost:

  • 45s + 65d + 11,900

<u>3. Relation between number of deluxe quadcopters and standard quadcopters</u>

Two deluxe quadcopters for every three standard quadcopters

  • d = (2/3)s

<u>4. Substitute d with (2/3)s in the expressions, writhe the equation and solve</u>

Revenue = 55s + 85(2/3)s

Cost = 45s + 65(2/3)s + 11,900

Revenue = Cost

  • 55s + 85(2/3)s - 45s - 65(2/3)s - 11,900 = 0

Multiply the equation by 3, to eliminate the denominators:

  • 165s + 170s - 135s - 130s - 35,700 = 0

Add like terms and add 35,700 to both sides

  • 70s = 35,700

Divide by 70

  • s = 510

Substitue s in d = (2/3)s

  • d = (2/3)510 = 340.

Therefore, Funtime must sell 510 standard quadcopters and 340 deluxe quadcopters every month to breakeven.

<u>B. To earn $7,700</u>

Profit = revenue - cost

  • 7,700 = 55s + 85(2/3)s - 45s - 65(2/3)s - 11,900

Add 11,900 to both sides

  • 19,600 = 55s + 85(2/3)s - 45s - 65(2/3)s

Mutliply the equation by 3:

  • 58,800 = 165s + 170s - 135s - 130s

Do the operations:

  • 58,800 = 70s

  • s = 58,800 / 70 = 840

d = (2/3)840 = 560

Hence, Funtime must sell 840 standard quadcopters and 560 deluxe quadcopters to earn $ 7,700 monthly.

frosja888 [35]

Available Options Are:

a. Cost of Goods Sold

b. Net Profit Margin

c. None of these

d. Asset Turnover

Answer:

Option B. Net Profit Margin

Explanation:

The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.

Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.

Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:

Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets

The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.

____ [38]

Answer:

The answer is $1,402,000

Cost of an asset is the total cost of acquiring and asset plus the cost incurred in bringing the asset to a working condition e.g cost of transporting the asset to factory, cost of installation etc.

Cost of the machine is:

Cost of acquisition $4,000,000

Cost of installation. $10,000

Building a clean room. $3,000,000

Total cost is. $7,010,000

No salvage value

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A detailed list of the accounts that make up the five financial statement elements.

Explanation:

The company's chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts that the company has included as part of the five financial statement elements during a specific period of time.

The five financial statement elements are: assets, liabilities, equity (part of the balance sheet), expenses and revenues (part of the income statement).

Examples of accounts that can be part of a firm's chart of accounts are: land (asset), cash (asset), notes payable (liabilities), outstanding stock (equity), operating expenses (expenses), and sales revenue (revenues).

The chart of accounts can differ greatly from company to company simply because companies engage in vastly different economic activities.
