The statement that is true here is:

b.

The agreement is unenforceable under the doctrine of impossibility.

Explanation:

This is a murky situation in terms of the law because the law itself changes after the contract is drawn up.

We can see how in a situation like this the old rule could still apply however that cannot be the case here as the permit to draw up the land simply cannot pass government sanction anymore.

If the act was possible it would only be if it was to be done in Independence.

Now that a specific law outlaws it, the work becomes impossible and the contract is not valid anymore.

RST Company incurred $126,000 in material costs during July. Additionally, the 12,000 units in the Work-in-Process Inventory on
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

$ 13.17

Explanation:

Data provided :

Material cost in the beginning = $ 126,000

Additional material cost = $ 32,000

thus,

the total material cost = $ 126,000 + $ 32,000 = $ 158,000

Units in the work in progress = 12,000 units

Therefore, the material cost per unit for July = (Total material cost) / (Units being produced)

on substituting the values in the above relation, we get

he material cost per unit for July = ( $ 158,000 ) / ( 12,000 units )

= $ 13.1667 ≈ $ 13.17

Basic Break-Even Calculations Suppose that Larimer Company sells a product for $24. Unit costs are as follows: Direct materials
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $24.

Unit costs are as follows:

Direct materials $4.98

Direct labor 2.10

Variable factory overhead 1.00

Variable selling and administrative expense 2.00

Total unitary variable cost= $10.08

Total fixed factory overhead= $26,500

Total fixed selling and administrative expense= $15,260.

a. Variable cost per unit= 4.98 + 2.1 + 1 + 2= $10.08

Unitary contribution margin= 24 - 10.08= $13.92

b.

Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price

Contribution margin ratio= 13.92 / 24= 0.58

Variable cost ratio= unitary variable cost / selling price

Variable cost ratio= 10.08 / 24= 0.42

<u>c. To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (26,500 + 15,260) / 13.92

Break-even point in units= 3,000

<u>d. Finally, the contribution margin income statement:</u>

Sales= 3,000*24= 72,000

Total variable cost= 3,000*10.08= (30,240)

Contribution margin= 41,760

Total fixed factory overhead= (26,500)

Total fixed selling and administrative expense= (15,260)

Net operating income= 0
