Answer:

Break even sales will be $2700

So option (b) will be correct option

Explanation:

We have given fixed cost = $1400

Sells per unit = $27 each

And variable cost per unit = $13 each

So contribution margin ratio =\frac{sales\ per\ unit-variable\ cost\ perunit}{sales\ per\ unit}=\frac{27-13}{27}=0.5185

We know that break even sales is given by

Break even sales =\frac{fixed\ cost}{contribution\ margin\ ratio}=\frac{1400}{0.5185}=$2700

So option (b) will be correct answer

Leni [432]

Answer:

The step by step answer to your problem is given below:

Explanation:

1A) Break even point for option 1:    

Sales- Variable cost= Fixed cost    

Q* $950-Q*$760= $7410    

Q*$190= $7410  

Q=$7410/$190  

Q= 39 carpets

1B) Breakeven point for Option 2    

Sales- variable cost-rent cost= 0    

Q*$950- $760*Q- (Q*950*10%)= 0    

95Q= 0    

Q= 0

2. At what level of revenues will Cover Rugs earn the same operating income under either option?

Operating income under Option 1 = $190Q - $7140

Operating income under Option 2 = $95Q

We have to find Q such that $190Q - $7140 = $95Q

Q=$7410/$95= 78 Carpets

Revenue= $950 x 78 = $74,100

For Q = 78 Carpets, operating income under both option 1 and 2 will be = $7410

a. For what range of unit sales will Cover Rugs prefer Option 1? b. For what range of unit sales will Cover Rugs prefer Option 2?

For Q > 78, say 79 carpets:

Option 1 gives operating income= (190*79) - 7410= $7600

Option 2 gives operating income= 95*79= $7505

So color rugs will prefer Option 1.

For Q < 78, say 77 carpets:

Option 1 gives operating income= (190*77) - 7410= $7220

Option 2 gives operating income= 95*77= $7315

So color rugs will prefer Option 2.

3. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of 65 units for the two rental options.

Operating Leverage= \frac{Contribution margin}{Operating Income}

= Contribution margin per unit x Numbers of Carpet Sold= Contribution Margin

Under Option 1,

Contribution Margin per unit= $950-$760=$190,

Operating income= $190*65-$7410= $4940.

Degree of Operating Leverage= \frac{190*65}{6175}

=2.5

Under Option 2,

Contribution Margin per unit= $950-$760-$760-0.10*$950=$95,

Operating income= $95x65-$0= $6175.

\frac{95*65}{6175}

=1.0

4. Briefly explain and interpret your answer to requirement 3.

The degree of operating leverage helps managers calculate and anticipate the effects of fluctuations in sales on operating income. The calculation in requirement 3 show that when sales are 65 units, a % change in sales and contribution margin will result in 2.5 times that % change in operating income for option 1. But the same % change in Option 2 because there are no fix costs attached in option 2.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The maximum mortgage payment (PITI) a lender would allow for a conventional loan based on the housing expense ratio is:

$1,506.40

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Lisa works 40 hours at $18 an hour

Lisa weekly income = 40 * $18 = $720

Lisa monthly income = 40 *$18 * 4 = $2,880

Dave weekly income = $625

Dave's monthly income = $625 * 4 = 2,500

Total joint monthly income =            $5,380

b) If Lisa and Dave, her husband, file jointly for taxes, then the maximum mortgage payment (PITI) they can make is 28% of the gross income.

Therefore PITI = $5,380 * 28% = $1,506.40

c) The housing expense ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income devoted to housing expenses, which should not exceed 36% of your monthly or annual gross income.  According to the general rule, the household expense payments, primarily rent or mortgage payments, cannot exceed more than 28% of the monthly or annual income.
