Answer:

c. $30,000 lower

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"Rice Corporation currently operates two divisions which had operating results last year as follows: </em>

<em>West Division Troy Division </em>

<em>Sales $600,000 $300,000 </em>

<em>Variable costs 310,000 200,000 </em>

<em>Contribution margin 290,000 100,000 </em>

<em>Traceable fixed costs 110,000 70,000 </em>

<em>Allocated common corporate costs 90,000 45,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income (loss) $ 90,000 ($15,000)</em>

<em>Options are: a. $15,000 higher, b. $45,000 lower, c. $30,000 lower, d. $60,000 higher"</em>

Particulars                                         Amount

Contribution margin                          $100,000

Less: Traceable fixed costs              <u>$70,000</u>

Segment margin of Troy Division   <u>$30,000</u>

The operating income would been $30,000 less without the segment margin contributed by the Troy Division. Hence, If the Troy Division had been eliminated at the beginning of last year, Rice Corporation's operating income for last year would have been $30,000 lower.

A​ 20% increase in sales causes EPS to rise from​ $4.00 to​$6.50. Assuming the firm has no​ debt, what is its degree of operatin
Anna [14]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

DOL =  Percentage change in EBIT / percentage change in sales

EPS = {(EBIT - Interest) × (1 - T) } / Shares

The firm has no debt, so interest would be zero

EPS = EBIT × (1 - T) / Shares.

Tax rate and number of outstanding shares remain unchanged.

Percentage Change in EPS = EBIT.

Percentage Change in EPS = (6.5 / 4) - 1 = 0.625 = 62.5%

EBIT = 62.5%

Percentage change in sales= 20%

DOL =  62.5% / 20% =  3.13
