Answer: The answer is probably not.

Explanation: The first thing that you need to do is identify how much chicken you will purchase for dinner. For this problem we are going to estimate that you will purchase five pounds of chicken. The chicken on the other side of town is on sale for .20/lb less than your normal store. In order to calculate the amount of savings you need to multiply 5 pounds x .20 savings = $1.00 savings for 5 pounds of chicken.

Now, knowing that you will save $1.00, you need to analyze the benefit to see if it is worth it for you to drive across town to purchase chicken. If you believe that the extra cost of transportation and your time to travel there is worth more than $1.00 then it is not worth the extra drive to save the 20 cents per pound.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:loss on the sale of the equipment =$3,400

Explanation:

---We first compute the book value of the equipment

 Cost of asset=$94,000

accumulated depreciation = $73,000

Book Value of assets =  Cost of asset-accumulated depreciation

= $94,000 - $73,000= $21,000

---Gain or Loss on the asset

Sale value of equipment = $17,600

Book value of equpment= $21,000

loss on sale of equipment  = Sale value of equipment-Book value of equipment=$17,600-  $21,000= -$3,400

skelet666 [1.2K]

Missing information:

Fixed administrative expense $ 16,200 Variable selling expense $ 20,250 Variable administrative expense $ ? Contribution margin $ 81,000 Net operating income $ 24,300

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.

3. Calculate the selling price per unit.

4. Calculate the variable cost per unit.

5. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.

Answer:

First we must determine cost of goods sold = $27,000 + $270,000 - $13,500 = $283,500

now we must find total variable costs = total sales - contribution margin = $405,00 - $81,000 = $324,000

variable administrative expenses = total variable costs - COGS - variable selling expense = $324,000 - $283,500 - $20,250 = $20,250

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

Total sales                                                              $405,000

<u>Cost of goods sold                                                $283,500</u>

Contribution margin                                                $81,000

Fixed period expenses:

  • Fixed selling expense                                   $40,500
  • <u>Fixed administrative expense                       $16,200</u>

Net operating income                                            $24,300

2. Prepare a traditional format income statement.

Total sales                                                              $405,000

<u>Cost of goods sold                                                $283,500</u>

Gross profit                                                              $121,500

Operating expenses:

Selling expenses                                                     $60,750

<u>Adm. expenses                                                       $36,450</u>

Net operating income                                            $24,300
