Answer:

Break-even point for the manual process= 281.11 unit

Explanation:

<em>Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs</em>.

Break even point in units is calculated using this formula:  

Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)

Break-even point for the manual process:

Break-even point in units = $26,380/(99- 5.16) = 281.11 units

Break-even point for the manual process= 281.11 units

Elan Coil [88]

Answer: Higher; Comparative advantage

Explanation:

A country or a firm has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that commodity in terms of other commodities is lower than the other country or firm.

Opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone for an individual by choosing one alternative over other alternatives available to him.

If the opportunity cost is lower for an individual then this will benefit him whereas if the opportunity cost is higher then this will not benefit the individuals.

Therefore,

United states's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = \frac{100}{20}

= 5 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes

Canada's Opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes = \frac{20}{10}

= 2 apples have to be foregone for producing a pair of shoes

Hence, Canada has a comparative advantage in producing pairs of shoes because Canada's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is lower than United states opportunity cost.

Stels [109]

Answer:

Net Operating Income rises by $10,000 when Fashion Boots is discontinued.

Explanation:

Current operating profit for Boots Plus = $45,000

that is $65,000 profit from Hiking and $20,000 losses from Fashion

In case if Fashion boots is discontinued, then fixed cost eliminated = $30,000

In that case Total fixed cost of fashion boots non eliminated = $40,000 - $30,000 = $10,000

Which will be loss from Fashion as no other operating activity will be there.

Net operating profit of the company will be

Profit from Hiking Boots = $65,000

Less: Loss from Fashion Sales = $10,000 (Fixed Cost not eliminated)

Net Operating profit = $65,000 - $10,000 = $55,000

Net Operating Income rises by $10,000 when Fashion Boots is discontinued.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is Debit Unearned Plowing Revenue

Explanation:

Earlier the journal entry would be recorded as:

Cash A/c.................................................Dr    $4,000

    Unearned Plowing Revenue A/c..............Cr   $4,000

But the correct entry that should be recorded is:

Cash A/c.................................................Dr    $4,000

    Plowing Revenue Earned A/c..............Cr   $4,000

So, in order to pass the adjusting entry, we should debit the Unearned Plowing Revenue in order to reconcile or nill the same account by debiting.

Calhoun Crockery sold merchandise; the total proceeds collected, including a 7% sales tax, amounted to $74,900.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Sale value of the merchandise = $74,900

Sales tax liability = $74,900 × (7% ÷ 107%)

                         = $4,900

Sale value prior to sales tax = $74,900 - $4,900

                                               = $70,000

Sales tax @7% on $70,000 = $4,900

Hope the above calculation will clear the concept since the question clearly mention that

Calhoun Crockery sold merchandise; the total proceeds collected, including a 7% sales tax, amounted to $74,900.

This $74,900 includes 7% tax also it means that the collected proceed is 100% + 7% = 107%

which includes 7% tax liability.
