Maybelline falls down a well and is saved when her neighbor Ruben makes a very daring rescue. Ruben hoists her to safety, and Ma

ybelline hugs him and promises him a check for $100,000 for his kindness. Ruben is delighted and when Maybelline visits him the next day and again mentions the $100,000, he tells her that he is going to quit his job as a preschool music teacher and use the money to start a business. Two days later he resigns from the nursery school and calls Maybelline and asks when he can expect his money. He is startled when she replies that she is not going to give him a cent. Will a court enforce Maybelline's promise?

Answer:

Yes, the court should enforce Maybelline's promise since Ruben relied on it. Maybelline offered Ruben the money not once, but twice, so Ruben had sufficient reasons to believe that she would fulfill her promise. Ruben suffered since she didn't fulfill her promise, so the court should rule in his favor.

Brut [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

1. Unit rate lease

Unit Contribution margin = Unit Selling price – Unit Variable cost

= 40 - 24 =  $16

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= 200,000/16  = 12,500

2. Flat rate lease

Unit Contribution margin = Unit Selling price – Unit Variable cost

= 40 - 20  = $20

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= 260,000/20  = 13,000

b.)

Let at X units produced profit margin is same under both the lease options

40X - 24X - 200,000 = 40X - 20X - 260,000

16X - 200,000 = 20X - 260,000

4X = 60,000

X = 15,000

If 15,000 units are produced, profit margin will be same under both the lease options.

c)

1. Unit rate lease

Contribution margin income statement

Sales (20,000 x 40)  800,000

Variable cost (20,000 x 24)  - 480,000

Contribution margin  320,000

Fixed cost  - 200,000

Operating income  120,000

Operating leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income

= 320,000/120,000  = 2.67

2. Flat rate lease

Contribution margin income statement

Sales (20,000 x 40)  800,000

Variable cost (20,000 x 20)  - 400,000

Contribution margin  400,000

Fixed cost  - 260,000

Operating income  140,000

Operating leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income

= 400,000/140,000  = 2.86

d)

1. Unit rate lease

Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break even sales

= 20,000 x 40 - 12,500 x 40

= 800,000 - 500,000

= $300,000

Margin of safety (%) = Margin of safety/Actual sales

= 300,000/800,000  = 37.5%

2. Flat rate lease

Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break even sales

= 20,000 x 40 - 13,000 x 40

= 800,000 - 520,000

= $280,000

Margin of safety (%) = Margin of safety/Actual sales

= 280,000/800,000  

= 35%
