Answer:

Contribution margin ratio = 1 - variable cost ratio

                                          = 25%

(a) Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{fixed\ costs}{contribution\ margin}

Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{350,000}{0.25}

                                            = 1,400,000

 Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{Break\ even\ in\ dollars}{sales\ price}

 Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{1,400,000}{56}

                                           = 25,000

(b) For profit of $42,000,

sales=\frac{Profit+fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ ratio}

sales=\frac{42,000+350,000}{0.25}

               = 1,568,000

In\ units=\frac{sales}{sales\ price}

In\ units=\frac{1,568,000}{56}

                    = 28,000

(c) variable cost = sales price × variable cost ratio

                           = $56 × 75%

                           = $42

New contribution margin = \frac{New\ sales\ price-variable\ cost}{New\ sales\ price}

New contribution margin = \frac{70-42}{70}

                                          = 0.4

                                          = 40%

New\ Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{fixed\ costs}{contribution\ margin}

New\ Break\ even\ in\ dollars=\frac{350,000}{0.4}

                                                        = $875,000

New\ Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{New\ Break\ even\ in\ dollars}{New\ sales\ price}

New\ Break\ even\ in\ units=\frac{875,000}{70}

                                                    = 12,500

Coffee beans are an input in the production of coffee. Coffee in turn is a complement to pie. an increase in the price of coffee
AleksandrR [38]

An increase in the price of coffee beans can be expected to increase the demand for pie.

So, in the market if the price of coffee beans increases, quantity demanded for coffee will decrease. As, the coffee in turn is a complement to pie the consumers using coffee will now shift themselves to pie, unless the price decreases for coffee. Thus, the demand for pie is expected to increase now.

Several events could lead to such a change, an increase in  population , an increase in incomes, or an increase in the price likely to increase the quantity of coffee demanded at each price.

Hence, this represents the Law of Demand.

Charter Company, which uses the perpetual inventory method, purchases different letters for resale. Character had a beginning in
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Cost of Goods sold is $29

Explanation:

Under the perpetual LIFO or Last In First Out method of inventory valuation, we value the Cost of Goods Sold based on the price of the most recently purchased inventory before sale. Thus the units of closing inventory contains the inventory that was purchased first.

The cost of goods sold under LIFO will be,

Beginning Inventory (9* 3)   = 27

Feb purchases (4 * 5)           = 20

Oct sales (4 * 5 + 3 * 3)         = (29)

Dec purchases (5 * 6)           = 30

Ending Inventory                  = 48

So, the cost of goods sold under perpetual LIFO will comprise of the most recently purchased inventory before sale. The most recently purchased inventory before October sale was of February purchases. Thus, out of the 7 units sold, 4 will comprise of the February purchases and the remaining, 3 units, will be from the beginning inventory.

The cost of goods sold is,

COGS = 4 * 5 + 3 * 3

COGS = 29
