Why can the owner of a business withdraw assets from that business for personal use?

1 answer:

5 0

Since the business owner, by definition, is the person who controls all those assets and is responsible for them, he/she can take parts of them home if they so choose. This is a way to manage resources, especially if those resources are still useful in some way.

High Flying takes tourists on helicopter tours of Hawaii. Each tourist buys a $190 ticket; the variable costs average $57 per pe

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

A. Identify a profession b. In not more than 60 words, describe the "art" and "science" of such profession in (a).

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Comedy as a Profession is a great example.

Explanation:

The science of it is related to the psychology of what makes people laugh.

If studied, one would realize that there are certain things that are bound to make people laugh (all things being equal). An example is when a person makes fun of themself to an audience.

To explain this, scientists have stated that it is inherent in humans to laugh at the misfortune of others. However, this is just a theory and does not explain why we laugh at other kinds of comedy.

A plausible explanation (which is more recent in the parlance of psychology) is that people also laugh when certain expectations are defied in a very witty manner.

As a professional stand-up comedian, knowing all the rules and tricks is just one part of the coin. Being able to, either by practice or repeated efforts during practice, internalize these principles, practice them and effectively use them is the artistic part of the picture.

There those who are gifted naturally with a principle thought process that elicits laughter from others, would be termed hilarious. However, to make a living out of comedy, one would need to fully understand the principles and practice to deliver them as naturally as possible.

Another paradigm to the art of comedy is that, it has to be very witty. Wit many times may come with an element of suprise... a new angle that was previously "unthought" of.

Cheers!

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold = $19200

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold or COGS is the cost of inventory that the business has sold for the period. The cost of goods sold can be calculated as follows,

Cost of Goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases for the year - Closing Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold = 6200 + 21200 - 8200

Cost of Goods Sold = $19200
