Answer:Margin of safety expressed in dollars=$88,000

Margin of safety  as a percentage of sales =22%

Explanation:

Margin of Safety is the sales greater the break-even point  that helps  businesses gauge and prevent a loss. A Higher Margin of Safety is preferred as it limits the risk of businesses  making loss

Margin of safety expressed in dollars= Total actual sales - break-even point of sales

$400,000 - $312,000

=$88,000

Margin of safety  as a percentage of sales =Margin of safety/ Actual sales  x 100

$88,000/ $400,000 x 100

0.22 x 100

= 22%

Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.

When Heinz introduced EZ Squirt packaging and new colors such as Blastin' Green and Awesome Orange to revitalize consumer buying
Umnica [9.8K]

When Heinz introduced EZ Squirt packaging and new colors such as Blastin' Green and Awesome Orange to revitalize consumer buying, the company was modifying the distribution.

Heinz has launched a color ketchup product for toddlers called EZ Squirt. The product was available in compressible containers and was eventually discontinued by him in 2006.

After six years of creatively decorating food, the novelty wore off and a young fan of the whimsical Heinz grew tired of tattooing hot dogs with his tribal tattoos. The company has discontinued the EZ Squirt color due to declining sales.

Squeeze Bottles became so popular that Heinz eventually stopped making glass bottles, until 2011 when he released a limited edition bottle with his original label.

Team members will then enter into a discussion on the Team Discussion Board of these transactions, the applicable tax rates, and
suter [353]

Answer and Explanation:

I think and believe that High Risk transactions should be tax as high as 39%. Transactions such as collateralized debt obligations, credit default swaps, hedge funds, derivatives, commodities among others often have a high reward and high gain and this is usually in millions and possibly in the billions of dollars in which they are tax at 20%. However in a situation where a company or individual had losses with these transactions they would be able to match against other capital gains which will inturn be of benefit to them because their is tendency that all the loss will be recovered through the gains which is why

some of all these transactions should be allowed and some of the transactions should be regulated more than others.
