Answer:

b) $600,000

Explanation:

The break-even sales can be regarded as sales value in which the result makes the firm to report zero profit.

Total fixed costs was given from the question as ( $180,000)

The Contribution margin ratio was give from the question as ( 30%)= 0.3

✓break even point can be calculated as ratio of Total fixed costs to Contribution margin ratio. This can be expressed as

break even point=[Total fixed costs ]/ [ Contribution margin ratio.]

Substitute,

break even point= [ $180,000]/ [0.3]

=$600,000

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$27,250

Explanation:

The computation of incremental income or loss on reworking the units is shown below:-

For computing the incremental income or loss on reworking the units first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Incremental revenue per unit = Selling price after rework - Selling price as scrap

= $22.00 - $5.60

= $16.40

Total Incremental Revenue = Incremental revenue per unit × Total defective units

= $16.40 × 2,500

= $41,000

Total rework costs = Total defective units × Defects per unit

= 2,500 × $5.50

= $13,750

Now,

Incremental income or loss on reworking the units = Total Incremental Revenue - Total rework costs

= $41,000 - $13,750

= $27,250

Assume there are 100 suppliers of widgets in the widget market. Half of these suppliers supply 35 widgets to the market each, a

Bess [88]

Answer:

Total widgets supplied in the market will be 4000

So option (d) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given total number of suppliers = 100

It is given that half of the suppliers supply 35 widgets

So 50 supplier supply 35 widgets each

So total number widgets supplied by 50 supplier = 50×35 = 1750

A quarter, that is 25 supplier supply 40 widgets

So widgets supplied by 25 supplier = 25×40 = 1000

And other quarter, that is 25 supplier supply 50 widgets each

So widgets supplied by 25 supplier = 25×50 = 1250

So total widgets supplied in the market will be = 1750+1000+1250 = 4000

So option (d) will be correct answer

<em>Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual Output at Budgeted rate - Budgeted Fixed Overheads</em>

= (5,230 × $5.10) - ($5.10 × 5,300)
