JulijaS [17]

Answer:

1,875 units.

Explanation:

Break-even is the point where a company neither generate profit not make loss, or we can say that it the sales at which the operating profit will be zero. It can be calculated for sales volume as-well-as dollar sales. Let's prepare a contribution income statement to calculate the break-even sales in quantity. We know that:

EBIT / Operating Profit = (SP * Q) - (VC * Q) - Fixed Cost

where

SP = Selling Price

Q = Quantity / Units

VC = Variable cost

As it is understood that the operating profit at break-even is zero, simply put it in the above contribution income statements along with other figures given in the question.

⇒ 0 = (20 * Q) - (12 * Q) - 15,000

OR 15,000 / (20 - 12) = Q

⇒ Break-even units = Q = 1,875 units.

Joan, is a jewelry designer who had created a unique new jewelry piece called a neacklet. It can be either a necklace or a brace

patriot [66]

Answer and explanation:

In Joan's case, a general partnership will provide her control over her business that will be shared with the older gentleman who owns a jewelry store. Profits would be distributed evenly regardless of the contribution of each partner in the business. However, the older gentleman has offered Joan the chance of purchasing his share later on which would provide her the total control of the business and the patent of her creation.

The other option Joan has available is purchasing a franchise. This will allow Joan to avoid the initial costs of introducing her products to the market and the risks of not having enough consumers since her brand name is new. Though she will lose access to the patent of her creation and periodically Joan will need to pay NewJewelry a fee for using its name.

Therefore, as Joan prefers to have control over her designs, it would be more convenient for her to choose the general partnership.

Calculation to determine what The unit product cost of Product R3 under activity-based costing is closest to

First step is to Calculate Activity rates

Activity Cost Pool Activity driver Overhead Cost (A) Expected Activity (B) Activity rate (A/B)

Labor related Number of DLH $ 40,636÷13,000 = 3.13 Per DLH

Production orders Number of Order 65,880÷ 1,600= 41.18 Per Order

Order size Number of MH 433,075÷ 7,600 = 56.98 Per MH

Second step is to calculate the Cost assigned to Product R3

Cost assigned to Product R3

Activity name Activity Rates Activity ABC Cost

(A) (B) (A x B)

Labor related 3.13 * 11,000 =$34,430

Production orders 41.18* 1,200=$49,416

Order size 56.98*3,900= $222,222

Total Overheads assigned $306,068

($34,430+$49,416+$222,222)

Production 1,100

Overhead cost per unit $278.24

Product R3

Direct material $211

Direct labor (10x $20.60 per DLH) $206

Overheads $278.24

Total Cost per unit $695.24

($211+$206+$278.24)

Naily [24]

Answer:

department store

Explanation:

A department store is a type of retailer that offers a wide range of diverse products. Each product group is classified into a department, thus the name "department store". When customers buy products, they usually check out near the exit of the whole department store, although there are some check-out counters in each department. Also, customer service is always present, mostly in the form of numerous sales clerks providing a helping hand.

They can include almost any range of products: toiletries, furniture, home decor, clothes, toys, hardware... Some famous examples are: Le Bon Marché in Paris, Selfridges in the UK, Macy's in the USA...

On the other hand, a discount store usually offers a broad product range, low prices, but little to none customer service. Specialty stores have a narrow target group as they offer a limited assortment.
