Mrs Torres pay tax for the meals at the rate of 20%

Explanation:

The daily cost of the hotel room=80$

Total nights spent at hotel=3

Tax on the room=9%

Tip for the maid=10% of the room charge= 10/100*80= 8$

Cost of meal=109.30$

Tip paid =15%

The total cost of the trip=420.04$

Tx charged to Mrs Torres on the meal

Total tax charged on the room= 9/100*(total room charge)

Total room charge= 80*3=240$

Total tax charged on the room=9/100*240=21.6$

Hence the total cost accrued to Mrs Torres=240$+21.6$=261.6$

She paid maid a tip of 10%(8$)

Hence total charge= 261.6+8=269.6$

Let the tax charged at meal be c%

Hence total meal charges=

c/100*109.3+109.30

After this, she paid a tip of 15%

Hence total charge accrued to Mrs Torres would be (c/100*109.3+109.30)+.15*(c/100*109.3+109.30)

It is given that Mrs Torres paid 420.04$ as total bill

Hence (c/100*109.3+109.30)+.15*(c/100*109.3+109.30)=420.04$

Solving for "c" we get it to be as 20%

How to Solve such complex equations- Since the  equation seems to be complex and lengthy

Simply assume any value of "c" and see if it satisfies the equation

Assuming the value of "c" to be 20%- the equation is satisfied. hence the tax at meals was 20%

Exercise 5-1 The Effect of Changes in Activity on Net Operating Income [LO5-1] Whirly Corporation’s contribution format income s
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

See the explanation.

Explanation:

Requirement 1

New sales volume after increasing 40 units = (7,200 + 40) = 7,240 units. The revised net operating income is calculated as follows

                          Whirly Corporation’s

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended December 31 20YY

Sales Revenue (7,240 × 33) = $ 237,600 (Note - 1)

Less: Variable expense (7,240 × 19) = 136,800 (Note - 2)

Contribution Margin = $100,800

Less: Fixed Expense  $54,900

Net Operating Income $45,900

Note 1: Sale price per unit $237,600 ÷ 7,200 = $35

Note 2: Variable expense per unit $136,800 ÷ 7,200 = $20

Requirement 2

From requirement 1 we get,

Sale price per unit = $33

Variable expense per unit = $19

New sales volume after decreasing 40 units = (7,200 - 40) = 7,160 units. The revised net operating income is calculated as follows

                           Whirly Corporation’s

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended December 31 20YY

Sales Revenue (7,160 × 33) = $236,280

Less: Variable expense (7,160 × 19) = $136,040

Contribution Margin = $100,240

Less: Fixed Expense  $54,900

Net Operating Income $45,340

Requirement 3

From requirement 1 we get

Sale price per unit = $33

Variable expense per unit = $19

If the sales volume is 6,200 units, the revised net operating income is calculated as follows

                        Whirly Corporation’s

              Contribution format income statement

              For the year ended December 31 20YY

Sales Revenue (6,200 × 33) = $204,600

Less: Variable expense (6,200 × 19) = $117,800

Contribution Margin = $86,800

Less: Fixed Expense  $54,900

Net Operating Income           $31,900

If the company sells 6,200 units, the company can still make a profit.
