Answer:

$500,000

Explanation:

Given that:

Sales for the month = $900,000

Opening inventory = $50,000

Closing inventory = $55,000

Gross margin on sales = 45%

Cost of goods sold = 100 - gross margin = 100% - 45% = 55%

Hence,

Cost of goods sold = $900,000 × 55% = $495,000

Therefore, the purchase for the month

= Cost of goods sold + Closing inventory - Opening inventory

= $495,000 + $55,000 - $45,000

= $500,000

15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $525,000/$40 = 13,125

The balances in Sanchez Accounting Services' office supplies account on February 1 and February 28 were $1,100 and $475, respect
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

$575

Explanation:

Given that,

Opening office supplies = $1,100

Closing office supplies = $475

Office supplies expense for the month = $1,200

Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock = Consumption

$1,100 + Purchases - $475 = $1,200

$625 + Purchases = $1,200

Purchases = $1,200 - $625

                  = $575

Therefore, the amount of office supplies was purchased during February is $575.
