Answer:

The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is 0.84 or 84 %

Explanation:

Contribution Margin = Contribution ÷ Sales

Where,

<em>Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs</em>

where,

Sales :

Sales = $ 900,000

Number of Books Sold = $ 900,000 ÷ $50

                                      = 18,000 books

Variable Costs Calculation :

Cost of goods sold                                                           $630,000

Variable selling expenses ($5 × 18,000 books)               $90,000

Variable administrative expenses( 4% × $ 900,000)       $36,000

Total Variable Costs                                                         $756,000

Therefore,

Contribution Margin =  $756,000÷  $ 900,000

                                  = 0.84 or 84 %

Colgate-Palmolive Company reports the following balances in its retained earnings.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a. $1,028 million

b. 46.7%

Explanation:

a. Dividends are taken from the retained earnings and net income is added to the retained earnings. The formula for ending retained earnings is;

Ending retained earnings = Opening Retained earnings + Net Income - Dividends

14,329 = 13,157 + 2,200 - Dividends

Dividends = 13,157 + 2,200 - 14,329

Dividends = $1,028 million

b. Dividends as a percentage of income

= 1,028/2,200

= 0.467

= 46.7%
