Answer:

e. 14.95%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below  

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 6.5% + 1.30 × (13% - 6.5%)

= 6.5% + 1.30 × 6.5%

= 6.5% + 8.45%

= 14.95%

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

Exercise 6-18 Break-Even and Target Profit Analysis; Margin of Safety; CM Ratio [LO6-1, LO6-3, LO6-5, LO6-6, LO6-7]Menlo Company
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= $640,000 ($40)

Variable expenses= 448,000 (28)

Contribution margin= 192,000 ($12)

Fixed expenses= (145,200)

Net operating income=$46,800

1) To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formulas:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 145,200/(40-28)

Break-even point in units= 12,100 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 145,200/ (12/40)

Break-even point (dollars)= $484,000

<u>2) The break-even point is the number of units to sell to reach a net profit of cero. Therefore, the contribution margin must be equal to the fixed costs.</u>

Contribution margin= 145,200

3) profit= $75,600

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 220,800/12

Break-even point in units= 18,400 units

Sales= 18,400*40= 736,000

Total variable costs= 18,400*28= (515,200)

Contribution margin= 220,800

Fixed costs= 145,200

Net profit= 75,600

4) The margin of safety:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 640,000 - 484,000= $156,000

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 156,000/640,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.244= 24.4%

5) Contribution margin ratio= 12/40= 0.3

Net increase= 96,000*0.3= $28,800

katrin [286]

Answer:

Dr Purchases/ Raw Material Inventory .......................80,000

Cr   Bank/Account Payable....................................................80,000

Dr Work in Process ................................................................67,400

Cr Raw Material Inventory............................................................67,400

Explanation:

FOR PURCHASE OF MATERIAL

Dr Purchases/ Raw Material Inventory .......................80,000

Cr   Bank/Account Payable....................................................80,000

Being purchase of 10,000 units of raw materials at  $8 per unit

FOR MATERIAL FOR PRODUCTION

Dr Work in Process ................................................................67,400

Cr Raw Material Inventory............................................................67,400

Being materials used in production: 7,500 units at $8 per unit for job 200 and 1,480 units at $5 per unit for job 305

In relation to 'purchase of material' we debit the raw material inventory account because material is increasing and is an asset account; and we credit Bank if the materials have been paid for OR 'accounts payable', if the material has not yet been paid for.

In relation to 'requisition of material for production' we debit the raw material inventory account because material is decreasing and is an asset account; and we credit 'work in process' to assign the cost of materials to the ongoing jobs respectively.
