<u>Answer:</u>

<u>a good example of this is when we declined an equity investment offer. </u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the short-term one may see an investment offer as a never to be missed opportunity. However, certain investments lead to loss of control, this was true in our own case. Thankfully, we avoided the short-term gain in other to realize a long-term gain.

There is no demand for a certain commodity when the unit price is $200 or more, but the demand increases by 200 units for each $
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

y = -0.05x + 200

Explanation:

Two points are available ($200, 0), ($190, 200)

We find the equation from these two points.

Slope = (190-200)/(200 -0) = -10/200 = -0.05

Now, we write the equation of line with scope m=-0.05 and point (0. 200)

y-200 = -0.05(x-0)

y = -0.05x + 200 (Demand equation)

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

1A. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

  • CM ratio = 2.5
  • break even point = 21,000 balls

1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year.

  • 31.82%

2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable expenses will increase by $3 per ball next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25, what will be the new CM ratio and break-even point in balls?

  • CM ratio = 3.57
  • break even point = 30,000 balls

3. Refer to the data in (2) above. If the expected change in variable expenses takes place, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as 5. last year? The president feels that the company must raise the sell- ing price of its basketballs. If Northwood Company wants to maintain the same CM ratio as last year, what selling price per ball must it charge next year to cover the increased labor costs?

  • 42,858 balls
  • new price of $28 per ball

4. Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double. If the new plant is built, what would be the company's new CM ratio and new break-even point in balls?

  • CM = 1.32
  • 26,250 balls

A. If the new plant is built, how many balls will have to be sold next year to earn the same net operating income, $90,000, as last year?

31,875 balls

B. Assume the new plant is built and that next year the company manufactures and sells 30,000 balls (the same number as sold last year). Prepare a contribution format income statement and compute the degree of operating leverage.

Income Statement

Total revenue $750,000

Variable expenses $270,000

Contribution margin $480,000

Fixed expenses $420,000

Net operating income $60,000

Degree of operating leverage = 60.87%

C. If you were a member of top management, would you have been in favor of constructing the new plant?

If you cannot avoid paying the salary raise, then the company needs to carry on the new plant project.

Explanation:

sales price per ball = $25

variable expenses: $15 per unit

  • direct labor $9
  • other variable costs $6

CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $300,000 = 2.5

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $10 = 21,000 balls

degree of operating leverage = fixed costs / total costs = $210,000 / $660,000 = 31.82%

new CM ratio = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $210,000 = 3.57

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $210,000 / $7 = 30,000 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($210,000 + $90,000) / $7 = 42,857.14 ≈ 42,858 balls

CM ratio (new plant) = net sales / CM = $750,000 / $570,000 = 1.32

break even point = total fixed costs / CM per unit = $420,000 / $16 = 26,250 balls

sales level for $90,000 profit = ($420,000 + $90,000) / $16 = 31,875 balls

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

i. Deferred income taxes balance on  December 2019 is $192,500

ii. Deferred tax asset.

Explanation:

Year   Tax purpose   Book purpose   Difference   Deferred tax book

2017      $400,000          $0                $400,000        $140,000

2018      $625,000     $375,000         $250,000        $87,500

2019      $750,000     $850,000        ($100,000)        (<u>$35,000)</u>

Deferred tax asset balance on  December 2019 =   <u>$192,500</u>

<u><em>Working</em></u>

<u>Deferred tax book</u>

2017 = 400,000 * 35% =  $140,000

2018 = 250,000 * 35% = $87,500

2019 = (100,000) * 35% = ($35,000)

ii. Book income is less than tax income in 2017 and 2018. Deferred tax asset would be accounted. Book income is higher than tax income in 2019. Deferred tax asset would be reverse (i.e. deferred tax liability). Balance at the end of December 31, 2019 would be Deferred tax asset.
