Cherokee Inc. is a merchandiser that provided the following information: Number of units sold 14,000 Selling price per unit $ 16

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 12,000 + 87,000 - 23,000

COGS= $76,000

Traditional format income statement:

Sales= 14,000*16= 224,000

COGS= (76,000)

Gross profit= 148,000

Total selling expense= (20,000 + 14,000*1)= (34,000)

Total administrative expense= (13,000 + 14,000*1)= (27,000)

Net operating income= 87,000

Contribution format income statement:

Sales= 14,000*16= 224,000

Total variable cost= (76,000 + 14,000 + 14,000)= (104,000)

Contribution margin= 120,000

Total fixed selling expense= (20,000)

Total fixed administrative expense= (13,000)

Net operating income= 87,000

The town of Sanford, Maine, decided to auction off a plot of land owned by the town. The town advertised that it would accept bi

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.

Explanation:

Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed.

In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win.
