Answer:
the total asset turnover is 2.65 times
Explanation:
The computation of the total asset turnover is shown below;
As we know that
Total assets turnover is
= Net sales ÷ average of total assets
= $720,855 ÷ ($91,932 + $206,935 + $111,201 + $133,851) ÷ 2
= $720,855 ÷ $271,959.50
= 2.65 times
Hence, the total asset turnover is 2.65 times
Answer:
417 units
Explanation:
The formula to compute the break-even point in units is shown below:
= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
So, the break-even point in units is
= ($5,000) ÷ ($20 - $8)
= $5,000 ÷ $12
= 417 units
So, the 417 units is to be sold for break-even
Answer:
$4,800
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost = $66,000
Accumulated depreciation = $30,000
Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
= $66,000 - $30,000
= $36,000
Now,
Fair value = $48,000 + $12,000
= $60,000
Thus,
Gain = $60,000 - $36,000
= $24,000
Therefore,
Gain to be recognized = $24,000 × [ 12,000 ÷ 60,000 ]
= $4,800
