Who determines Brand value?

Phips Co. purchases 100 percent of Sips Company on January 1, 20X2, when Phips' retained earnings balance is $320,000 and Sips'

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Phips' post-closing retained earnings balance on December 31, 20X2 = $577,000

Explanation:

Note: When 100% shares of a company is acquired it is treated as subsidiary and for its accounting equity method is used.

In that case all balances of subsidiary are added to balances of Parent company.

But if any dividend is received then such value is deducted from carrying value of investment, and any share in profit will be added to carrying value.

All the retained earnings balance is accumulated together of both companies.

Therefore closing balance shall be

Retained earnings balance of Sips at year end

= $120,000 + $20,000 - $8,000 = $132,000

Year end balance of Phips Alone

= $320,000 + 125,000 = $445,000

Total Retained Earnings at year end = $132,000 + $445,000 = $577,000

Part b

0.6 or 60 %

Part c

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

Part d

See attachment

Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

Margin of safety in % = (Expected Sales - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00

The graph above shows how the price of video games varies with the demand quantity. Suppose that the price of video games is set

ira [324]

Price floor.
A floor, in real life, is at the bottom, below you — this then makes sense in business to say that a ‘floor’ represents the minimum value of something — in this case the price of video games.
In real life, a ceiling is above you, indicating that it could be used as a representative of a maximum value of something, like the price of a video game.

So, if we were to say that $120 was the ‘price ceiling’ for video games, then we would basically be saying that $120 is the most a video game could cost. If we were to say that $100 was the ‘price floor’ for video games, we would be saying that $100 is the minimum value that the price of a video game could assume.

Completed Per Day

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct option is A, Samantha weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.

Explanation:

The opportunity formula comes handy in this case, which is given below:

opportunity cost formula=what one sacrifices/what one gains

If Samantha were to weed flower beds, opportunity cost is computed thus:

Opportunity cost of Samantha weeding flower beds=8/4= 2 bags of leaves raked

The opportunity of Adam weeding flower beds=25/5 =5 bags of leaves raked.

In a nutshell ,if Samantha weeds flowers they would lose 2 bags of leaves raked while if Adam were to do so same, they would lose 5 bags of leaves raked, conclusively Samantha should weed flower beds since she has lower opportunity, higher comparative advantage
