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 %

Erica and Brett decide to form their new motorcycle business as an LLC. Each will receive an equal profits (loss) interest by co
koban [17]

Answer:

Brett's outside tax basis in his LLC interest is $45000

Explanation:

A partner outside tax basis consist of basis of contributed property, partnership debt allocated to the partner without any debt relief. Non recourse debt that is more than basis of contributed property must be given to the partner that contributed to the property.

Brett's outside tax basis in his LLC interest = Cash contribution + basis of building - debt of building + Non recourse loan + non recourse mortgage + remaining mortgage on building

Cash contribution = $5000

Basis of building = $30000

Debt of building = $35000

Non recourse loan = Profit sharing ratio × Non recourse loan = 50% × $50000 = $25000

non recourse mortgage = $5000

remaining mortgage on building  = 50% × $30000 = $15000

Brett's outside tax basis in his LLC interest = $5000 + $30000 - $35000 + $25000 + $5000 + $150000 = $45000
