b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

Which of the following is one of the main things to consider when evaluating a business opportunity?
nikitadnepr [17]
<h2>Answer</h2>

D) Customer demand for the product

<h3>Explanation</h3>

For a business opportunity to prosper and grow ahead, it is imperative that the offered product or service has actual demand present. If the demand is present, the sales will be automatically achieved. This will result in higher sales and therefore more generation of profits in the future. Without optimal demand present in the economy, it is not worth putting time and efforts in a business.

The Dogwood Technology Company managerial accountant computes the May total variance report. The budgeted fixed overhead was $ 4
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$750 favorable ; $200 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

For fixed overhead budget variance:

= Budgeted fixed overhead - actual fixed overhead

= $47,420 - $46,670

= $750 favorable

For fixed overhead volume variance:

= Budgeted fixed overhead - standard fixed overhead cost allocated to production

= $47,420 - $47,220

= $200 unfavorable

Hence we consider all the given information

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
