Answer:

The Soma Inn

a. Determination of the inn's break-even point:

1. number of rented rooms per month:

= Fixed Costs/Contribution per room

= $14,400/$18

= 800 rooms

2. dollars:

= Fixed Costs/Contribution margin ratio per room

= $14,400/0.3

= $48,000

2. Renting average of 50 rooms per day,

a) Monthly margin of safety in dollars

Current Sales = 50 rooms x $60 x 30 days = $90,000

Break-even Sales = $48,000

Margin of safety = Current Sales minus Break-even Sales

= $42,000 ($90,000 - $48,000)

b) Margin of safety ratio:

= Margin of safety/Current Sales x 100

= $42,000/$90,000 x 100

= 46.67%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed costs:

Salaries       $9,700 per month

Utilities          2,700 per month

Depreciation 1,300 per month

Maintenance   700 per month

Total         $14,400 per month

Variable costs:

Maid service  8 per room

Other costs 34 per room

Total          $42 per room ($3,150 = $41 x 75 rooms)

Rent          $60 per room ($4,500 = $60 x 75 rooms)

Contribution per room = $18 ($60 - $42)

Contribution per night = $1,350 (75 x $18)

Contribution margin ratio per room = Contribution per room margin/Rent per room x 100

= $18/$60 x 100

=  0.3 or 30%

The Soma Inn's contribution margin per room is equal to the rent per room minus the variable cost per room.  Similarly, the contribution margin ratio per room is the contribution margin per room divided by the rent per room, and then multiplied by 100.

The Soma Inn's margin of safety is the difference between the rent per month and the break-even sales.  The Margin of safety ratio for the Inn is the ratio of current sales minus the breakeven sales, and then divided by current sales, multiplied by 100.

c) Once the purchases of merchandise have been computed, to compute the cost of goods sold becomes easier.  The cost of goods sold for Ahmed Company is the difference between the cost of goods available for sale and the ending inventories of merchandise.

A customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $35 and buys 1 ABC Jul 35 Call @ $3. The stock falls to $30 and the customer closes
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The answer is $300 gain.

Explanation:

Operations:

  • Short 100 shares of ABC at $35 each= 100 * 35 = + $3,500
  • Buy 1 ABC Jul 35 Call @ $3 (one call equals to 100 shares)= 100 * (3) = $(300), accumulated = + 3,500 - 300 = + 3,200
  • Closes the option contract at $1 = 100 * 1 = + $100, accumulated = + 3,200 + 100 = + 3,300
  • Buys the stock at the current market price (buys 100 stock @ $30 each)= 100 * (30) = $(3,000), accumulated = + 3,300 - 3,000 = + $300.

Santoyo Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. Data concerning a particular order appear below:
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The delivery cycle time was 26.9

Explanation:

The delivery cycle time is computed as:

Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time

where

Wait time is 13.6

The formula for computing the throughput time is as:

Throughput time = Move time + Process time + Queue time + Inspection time

where

Move time is 3.3

Process time is 2.7

Queue time is 7.0

Inspection time is 0.3

Putting values above:

Throughput time = 3.3 + 2.7 + 7.0 + 0.3

Throughput time = 13.3

Now, putting both the values above:

Delivery cycle time = 13.6 + 13.3

Delivery cycle time = 26.9

On January 2, 2015, Roth, Inc. purchased a laser cutting machine to be used in the fabrication of a part for one of its key prod
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a machine over its useful lifetime.

There are different types of depreciation like the straight line , double declining  and the units of production method.

<u>Workings</u>

Depreciable amount = 120,000-5000 = 115,000

Useful life = 4 years

Depreciation rate = 115000/4 = 25% = 28,750

                                              2015      2016       2017         2018

Straight line depreciation    28,750  28,750   28,750    28,750

Double declining

Double declining rate = 25%*2 = 50%

2015 = 50% * 115,000= 57,500

2016

Opening book value = 115,000-57,500 = 57500

Depreciation = 57,500*50% = 28,750

2017

Opening book value = 57500-28,750 =28750

Depreciation = 50%*28,750 =14,375

2018

Opening book value   28750-14375 = 14375

Depreciation = 14375*50% = 7188

Units of production

2015 = 280000/1150,000*115,000 = 28,000

2016 =430,000/1150000*115000 = 43,000

2017= 360000/1150000*115000 = 36,000

2018 = 80,000/1150000*115000 = 8000

B

IF the machine was bought on July 1, 2015

Straight line depreciation

2015 = (25%*115000 ) /2 = 14,375

2016 =25%* 115,000 = 28,750

2017 = 25%*115000 = 28750

2018 = 25%*115,000 =28750

2019 =(25%*115000)/2 = 14,375

Double declining method

2015

(115,000*50,000)/2 =28750

2016

Opening book value =115,000-28750 =86250

Depreciation = 50%*86250 = 43,125

2017

Opening book value =86250-43125 =43125

Depreciation = 43,125*50% = 21,563

2018

Opening book value

43125-21563 =21562

Depreciation = 21562*50% =10,781

2019

Opening book value = 21562-10781 =10781

Depreciation = 50%*10781 = 5391
