Answer:

Explanation:

1. Fixed Costs = 160,000

Pretax income = 164,000

Total contribution desired = 324,000 [160,000+164,000]

CM Ratio = 0.25

Sales = 324,000/0.25 = 1,296,000

2. Variable costs = Sales - Fixed costs - Pretax income = 1,296,000 - 160,000 - 164,000 = 972,000

So Total Sales amount to $1,296,000 and Variable cost is $972,000

Answer:

1. $1,296,000

2. $972,000

Explanation:

The pretax income is the difference between the total sales and total expense (excluding tax). The total expense is the sum of the fixed and variable expense.

Both total sales and variable cost have a unit value and are determined by the level of activities. Contribution margin is the difference between the total sales and the variable cost.

The difference between the contribution margin and the fixed cost gives the pretax income.

Hence contribution margin

= $160,000 + $164,000

= $324,000

Contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution to sales.

0.25 = $324000/sales

Sales = $1,296,000

Variable cost = $1,296,000 - $324,000

= $972,000

​Tom's Taxidermy has a monthly target operating income of $29,000. Variable expenses are 65​% of sales and monthly fixed expense
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Leverage factor will be 1.344

Explanation:

We have given operating income = $29000

And variable expenses is 65 5 of the sales

And fixed expenses = $10000

So contribution margin = $29000+$10000 = $39000

We have to find the leverage factor

Leverage factor is given by

Leverage factor =\frac{contribution\ margin}{operating\ income }=\frac{39000}{29000}=1.344

So leverage factor will be 1.344

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

The answer to this question is  (c) Labour, Labour intensive

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good

Explanation:

The Heckscher-Ohlin model is an economic theory that proposes that countries export what they can most efficiently and plentifully produce.  

The model emphasizes the export of goods requiring factors of production that a country has in abundance. It also emphasizes the import of goods that a nation cannot produce as efficiently. It takes the position that countries should ideally export materials and resources of which they have an excess, while proportionately importing those resources they need.

Therefore in regard to the question above,

In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, the country with a relative abundance of labour will have a production possibility frontier that is biased toward production of the labour intensive good  

Hence the answer is the third option, Labour, Labour intensive
