Answer:

the Breakeven point for option one is lowest

Explanation:

Given:

Option One;

Fixed rental cost = $1,000

per person cost for food = $12

Option two;

Fixed rental cost = $3,000

per person cost for food = $8

administrative and marketing expenses = $1,800

Cost to hire band = $800

Price of ticket per person = $30

Now,

Total fixed cost under option One

= $1,000 + $1,800 + $800

= $3,600

and,

Total fixed cost under option two

= $3,000 + $1,800 + $800

= $5,600

also,

Contribution margin per ticket for option one

= $30 - $12

= $18

and,

Contribution margin per ticket for option two

= $30 - $8

= $22

Therefore,

Breakeven point for option one

= $\frac{\textup{Fixed cost}}{\textup{contribution margin per person}}$

= $\frac{\textup{3,600}}{\textup{18}}$

= 200 person

and,

Breakeven point for option two

= $\frac{\textup{Fixed cost}}{\textup{contribution margin per person}}$

= $\frac{\textup{5,600}}{\textup{22}}$

= 255 person

Hence, the Breakeven point for option one is lowest

The future worth of the periodic payment, in this case, annual, can be calculated through the equation,

FV = P x ((1 + r)^n - 1)/ r))

where FV is the future value, P is the periodic payment, r is the interest rate, and n is the number of years. Substituting the known values,

2,000,000 = P x ((1 + 0.06)^30 - 1)/ 0.06))

The value of P from the equation is $25,297.82

Hence, the answer to this item is the fourth choice.

ad-work [718]

The answer is: c. The bid price in a hostile takeover is generally above the price before the takeover attempt is announced, because otherwise there would be no incentive for the stockholders to sell to the hostile bidder and the takeover attempt would probably fail

Hostile takeover refers to the process of acquiring another company without the approval of that other company's management team. The only way to do a hostile takeover is to ensure majority of the shareholders to sell their stocks to us within a short period of time. For the shareholders to do this, we need to offer the price that is way above the current market value.

Please the answer to this question is in the attached file

You can confirm the answer by planning income statement with the calculated amount of unit so that whenever you’re through with the calculation, you must get an income figure of 240000. As the amount of units are in decimal so +/- of small number could be possible like you will get the operating income of 240005 if you put 13077 units .

Erie Company manufactures a mobile fitness device called the Jogging Mate. The company uses standards to control its costs. The

Tom [10]

a. Standard labor-hours is 7920 hours.

b. Standard labor cost allowed is $42,768.

c. The labor spending variance is $1588(U).

d. The labor rate variance is $1706 and the labor efficiency variance $3294(U).

e. The variable overhead rate is $5971(U) and efficiency variances for the month $5580(U).

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)Standars hours(SH) allowed to make 19800 jogging mates

=SH per unit $\times$ 19800

=(24/60)*19800

=7920 hours

24/60 has been taken to convert minutes into hours.

b)Standard Labor Cost (SC) of 19800 jogging mates

$=19800 \times SC per unit=19800 \times $2.16\\=$42,768$

=$42,768

c)Labour Spending Variance

$=Standard Cost - Actual Cost(AC)=$42,768 - $44,356=$1588(U)$

=$1588(U)

d)Labor Rate Variance

$=(SR per hour-AR per hour)\timesAH=(5.4-5.2)*8530=$1706(F)$

=$1706

Actual Hours(AH) * Actual Rate per hour(AR)= Actual Cost(AC)

$8530 \times AR = $44,356$

$AR = \frac{44356}{8530}\\ \\AR = 5.2$

Labor Efficiency Variance

$=(SH-AH) \times SR\\=(7920-8530)*$5.4=$3294(U)$

=$3294(U)

e) Variable overhead rate variance = Actual hours worked (Standard overhead rate - Actual overhead rate)

= 8530 (4.5 - 5.20)

= $5971(U)

Actual overhead rate = $44,356 / 8530 = 5.20

Variable overhead efficiency variance = Standard overhead rate (Standard hours - Actual hours)

= 4.50 (7290 - 8530)

= $5580(U).

Answer:

$18,650

Explanation:

FIFO means first in, first out. It means its the oldest inventory that are sold first .

If the company sold 800 inventory, the 800 would be taken from the beginning inventory which is a total of 450 and the remaining 350 would be taken from the inventory produced in January.

Cost of goods sold

450×$22 = $9,900

350 ×$25= $8,750

$9,900 + $8,750 = $18,650
