Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

1) A Contribution Margin Income Statement is a special format of the income statement that segregates the variable and fixed expenses involved in running a business. It shows the revenue generated after deducting all variable and fixed expenses separately.

Sales= 25000q*$52= $1300000

Variable costs:

Cost of good sold= $22*25000= 550000

Sales commissions=sales*0,05=65000

Shipping expense= $6*25000= 150000

Total variable cost= $765000

Contribution margin=$535000

Fixed costs:

Advertising expense= $172,000

Shipping expense= $54,000

Administrative salaries= $82,000

Insurance expense= $9,200

Depreciation expense= $52,000

Total fixed cost= $369200

Net profit= $165800

2)The general structure of an income statement proceeds as follow:

Revenue/Sales (+)

Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) (-)

=Gross Profit

Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion Expenses (-)

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses (-)

=EBITDA

Depreciation & Amortization Expense (-)

=Operating Income or EBIT

Interest (-)

Other Expenses (-)

=EBT (Pre-Tax Income)

Income Taxes (-)

=Net Income

In this exercise:

Revenues= 1300000

COGS= 550000

Gross profit= 750000

Sales commissions=sales*0,05=65000

Shipping expense= $6*25000+54000= 204000

Advertising expense= 172000

Administrative salaries= 82000

Insurance expense= $9200

EBITDA= 532200

Depretiation= 52000

Net profit= $165800

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Total liabilities and shareholders equity:

= total liabilities + common stock + retained earnings

= $801,540 + $1,020,000 + $132,260

= $1,953,800

Current assets = $1,753,812

Non current assets:

= Total liabilities and shareholders equity - Current assets

= $1,953,800 - $1,753,812

= $199,988

Therefore, the total amount of non-current assets is $199,988.

A monopolistic competitive firm is currently charging a price of $10 and producing 12,000 units/month. It faces monthly fixed co
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

either the selling price decreases or the total output decreases

Explanation:

The firm's income statement:

total sales revenue =            $120,000

minus total variable costs = ($72,000)

<u>minus total fixed costs =       ($15,000)  </u>

net profit =                             $33,000

The long run equilibrium for a monopolistically competitive firm occurs when the firm is making no economic profit since it is charging a price =  average total cost.

In this case the average total cost per unit = $6 per unit + ($15,000 / 12,000 units) = $7.25 per unit

Since the firm is currently charging a higher selling price than average total cost ($10 > $7.25), one or two things might happen in the long run:

  1. selling price will decrease
  2. output will decrease

Allowing third-party sellers to list their products on Amazon is controversial. Why would Amazon allow products sold by others t
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<u>e. All of the above.</u>

Explanation:

Interestingly, all the above-listed options could serve as a possible reason why Amazon allows products sold by others to appear on its site.

<em>Remember, </em>Amazon is a marketplace;<em> </em>since the definition of a market involves dealings with several entities, it thus logical to expect Amazon to allow people (other sellers) to transact on its platform.

Equipment was purchased for $68,000 on January 1, 2013. Freight charges amounted to $2,800 and there was a cost of $8,000 for bu
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a. $26,720

Explanation:

Before computing the accumulated depreciation, first we have to compute the original cost of the equipment, after that the depreciation expense. The calculation is shown below:

Original cos t = Equipment purchase cost + freight charges + installment charges

= $68,000 + $2,800 + $8,000

= $78,800

Now the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ estimated life in years

= ($78,800 - $12,000) ÷ 5 years

= $13,360

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= Depreciation expense × number of years

= $13,360 × 2 years

= $26,720
