Inez has a specific set of plans to build a sailboat. the plans are detailed in nature, and any boat builder can build the boat.

navik [9.2K]

Inez is still obligated to accept delivery of the boat because it is still the boat that she contracted out and built to the specifications that she requested. Just because it was contracted out to another company doesn't mean that she didn't get what she wanted for the price she wanted. If she didn't have a specific design then she might have an argument, however she did and it was built to that design specs.

Highway 55 Studios has budgeted the following amounts for its next fiscal year: Total fixed expenses $ 1 comma 980 comma 000 Se

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Unit variable cost

= $70 - $10 = $60

Break-even sales in units = Fixed cost

Contribution per unit

= $1,980,000

$60

= 33,000 units

If fixed cost reduced by $49,500, new fixed cost will be $1.930,500

33,000 = $1,930,500

$70 - VC

33,000(70 - VC) = $1,930,500

2,310,000 - 33,000VC = $1,930,500

2,310,000 - $1,930,500 = 33,000VC

379,500 = 33,000VC

379,500 = VC

33,000

VC = $11.50

Increase in variable expenses per unit

= $11.50 - $10 = $1.50

Explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the break-even point in units, which is fixed cost divided by variable expenses per unit. If total fixed expenses reduced by $49,500, the new total fixed expenses will be $1,930,500. Then, we will equate the break-even point in units to the new fixed cost divided by contribution per unit, which is selling price minus variable expenses per unit. Since break-even point in units, new fixed cost and selling price were known with the exception of variable cost, variable cost becomes the subject of the formula. The old variable expenses will be deducted from the new variable expenses so as to obtain increase in variable expenses per unit.

Explanation:

Requirement A

Debit Cash $194,600

Credit Common stock - Par value $ 22,500

Credit Common stock - Additional paid-in-capital $172,100

Calculation:

Cash: 4,500 shares × $45 = $202,500

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 4,500 shares × $5 = $22,500

As the market value of the stock is $45, the additional stock value = $45 - $5 = $40. Moreover, the company has issuance cost of $7,900

Additional common stock apart from par value minus the issuance cost = ($4,500 shares × $40) - $7,900 = $180,000 - $7,900 = $172,100.

The company issue common stock with a market value of $45 and issuance cost of $7,900 in exchange of cash.

As the company's par value is $5,

Common stock - Par value: 1,100 shares × $5 = $5,500

As the market value of the stock is $46, the additional stock value = $46 - $5 = $41.

Additional common stock apart from par value = ($1,100 shares × $41) = $45,100.

Although the land is appraised for $49,000, due to the increased market price stock, it is valued more.

The company issue common stock with a market value of $46 in exchange for land.
