Answer:

a. 4 days reduced

Explanation:

Calculation for How much is the change in the ACP

First step is to calculate New Collection Period

New Collection Period =( 60% * 15 Days) + (40% * 30 Days )

New Collection Period=9 Days+12 Days

New Collection Period= 21 Days

Last step is to calculate Change in ACP using this formula

Change in ACP =Current Average Collection Period -New Collection Period

Let plug in the formula

Change in ACP = 25 Days - 21 Days

Change in ACP= 4 Days (Reduced)

Therefore the change in the ACP will reduced by 4 days

rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) increased by 368 units

Explanation:

The calculation of the next break even point should be

Existing  break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is

= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost ÷ Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

= $980,000 ÷ ( $350 - $100)

= 3,920 Units

Now

Revised Variable cost = $100 × 110%

= $110

And,  

Revised Fixed cost = $980,000  × 105%

= $1,029,000

So,

Revised  break-even point for Flying Cloud Co. is

= Fixed Cost  ÷ ( Contribution Margin Per Unit

= Fixed Cost  ÷ ( Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

= $1,029,000  ÷ ( ( $350 -$110)

= 4,287.5

= 4,288 units

So,  

Increase = 4,288 Units - 3920 Units

= 368 Units Increase
