Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:-

Incorrect

ROA = Net Income ÷ Average assets

= $101,900 ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000) ÷ 2)

= $101,900 ÷ $561,500

= 0.18

ROE = Net Income ÷ Average equity

= $101,900 ÷ (($340,000 + 356,000) ÷ 2)

= $101,900 ÷ $348,000

= 0.29

Debt Ratio = Total debt ÷ Average Assets

= $217,000 ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000) ÷ 2)

= $217,000 ÷ $561,500

= 0.39

EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares

= $101,900 ÷ 22,000

= $4.63

Correct

ROA = Net Income ÷ Average assets

= ($101,900 - $8,500) ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000 - $8,500) ÷ 2)

= $93,400 ÷ $557,250

= 0.17

ROE = Net Income ÷ Average equity

= ($101,900 - $8,500) ÷ (($340,000 + 356,000 - $8,500) ÷ 2)

= $93,400 ÷ $343,750

= 0.27

Debt Ratio = Total debt ÷ Average Assets

= $217,000 ÷ (($550,000 + $573,000 - $8,500) ÷ 2)

= $217,000 ÷ $276,500

= 0.78

EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of Common Shares

= ($101,900 - $8,500) ÷ 22,000

= $4.25

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

1. What is the amount of profit or loss during December?

$9,300

2. What were the total expenses for December?

$12,950

3. How much was paid for rent?

$1,220

Explanation:

we are missing some numbers, so I looked for a similar question. I found one that was almost identical, but the amount of initial paid in capital varied by a little bit. I still used it with the only difference that I used the given common stock, not the common stock that appears in the picture.

Common stock $29,750

retained earnings for November = $5,000

total assets = $56,150

total stockholders' equity = $38,300

retained earnings = $38,300 - $29,750 = $8,550

$5,000 from November
$3,550 from December

December's profit = $3,550 (retained earnings) + $5,750 (dividends) = $9,300

income statement = $27,250 - total expenses = $9,300 + $5,000 = $14,300

total expenses = $27,250 - $14,300 = $12,950

utilities expense = $12,950 - $6,450 - $4,625 - $1,220 = $655

Randy’s Pizza delivers pizzas to dormitories and apartments near a major state university. The company's annual fixed costs are

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

a. 8,200 pizzas

b. 17,400 pizzas

c. $17,100

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. For break even point

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,

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

= $9 - $5

= $4

So, the break even point is

= $32,800 ÷ $4

= 8,200 pizzas

b. For target profit

The break even point is

= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

= ($32,800 + $36,800) ÷ $4

= 17,400 pizzas

c. And, the margin of safety in dollars is

= (Total sales - break even sales) × selling price per unit

= (10,100 pizzas - 8,200 pizzas) × $9

= $17,100
