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.

tester [92]

Answer:

<em>Inaccurate</em>

Explanation:

<em>The information that was given to Alex Timbers who was a wood supplier that furniture manufacturing company requires teak wood, this information was </em><u><em>inaccurate</em></u><em>.</em>

Because we can see in the scenario which is mentioned in the question that the quality specialist of that furniture manufacturer company observes that the logs that was sent by Alex Timbers are very big, as the company itself ordered for teak wood, and we know that teak wood is very big. So, we can say that information provided by the company was inaccurate.

ch4aika [34]
To find 20% of the value of the goods,
1,123 x 20% (this is the same as 1,123 x 0.2)
= 224.6

Add the salary and the commission,
425.00 + 224.6

<h2>Yes I keep my feeling controlled by "Intrapersonal intelligence"</h2>

Explanation:

The term "Intrapersonal" intelligence might be something new but it is one of the soft skill which completely talks about "Personal emotions"

It is highly difficult to manage feelings both which are positive and negative in nature but a person who can control the emotions are the best leaders and most successful person. So a person who possess good "intrapersonal" skills will never yell at anyone or hurt anyone at work and will find other possible ways to solve it or pin point about the mistake.
