Answer:

Option 2 should be selected

Explanation:

Using a rational approach which option most benefit and have a minimum cost. We will use the break-even level here to decide which option should be selected.

Option 1

Price per call = $30

Variable cost per call = $18

Contribution = Sales  - Variable cost = $30 - $18 = $12

Fixed Cost = $15,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $15,000 / $12 = 1,250 calls

Option 2

Price per call = $30

Variable cost per call = $18 + ( $30 x 10% ) = $18 + $3 = $21

Contribution = Sales  - Variable cost = $30 - $21 = $9

Fixed Cost = $9,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per call = $9,000 / $9 = 1,000 calls

Difference  = 1,250 calls - 1,000 calls = 250 calls

Option 2  is better option because it take 250 less calls to reach at break-even in the month. It should be selected.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The answer is C) $7,970.

Explanation:

We have 04 reconciling items as below:

- Outstanding checks $800: this amount was already recorded in the Cash account of the company once the check was written; thus, the Cash ending balance has already reflected this amount.

- Deposits in transit $700: this amount was already recorded in the Cash or Cash-equivalent account of the company once the deposit was made; thus, the Cash ending balance has already reflected this amount.

- Bank service charge $30: fees paid to banking activities and are deducted without informing to the company. Thus, this deduction in cash is not reflected in the Cash account.

-  NSF check $500: this was recorded as the increase in Cash account by the company once the check was written by the person/entity to the company. However, the writer's account balance was not sufficient to honor this check amount to the company; thus Cash Account at the end of the period should reduced by $500. Instead, this $500 may be recorded in Account Receivable account.

Thus, the adjusted cash balance = 8,500 - 30 - 500 = $7,970.
