Western Company

Profit Variance Analysis

(A) Flexible budget -Master budget(C)= Sales activity variance (B)

(Flexible budget) A

Sales Revenue $2,070,000

Less:Variable cost $862,500

Contribution margin $1,207,500

Less: Fixed cost $225,000

0perating profits $982,500

Less:Variable cost $843,750

Contribution margin $1,181,250

Less: Fixed cost $225,000

0perating profits $956,250

Explanation:

1.Sales Revenue;

$225,000×$9= $2,025,000(Master budget)

$230,000×$9=$2,070,000( Flexible budget)

$2,070,000-$2,025,000=$45,000 Sales Activities Variance

Variable cost

$225,000×$3.75= $843,750 (Master budget)

$230,000×$3.75= $862,500(Flexible budget)

$862,500-$843,750=$18,750 Sales Variance

3. Sales Revenue- Variable cost= Contribution Margin

Answer:

The operating profit under actual budget gives $833,000 while flexible budget gives $982,500 which results in an unfavorable variance of $149,500

Explanation:

In computing the final variance  I started with sales revenue for the actual production and sales of 230,000 under both actual and flexed budgets.

This approach implies that the original budget was revised to reflect actual quantity produced and sold but the budgeted amounts  were used under flexed budget  while the actual amounts were applied under the actual budget preparation.

A rent ceiling results in a shortage. As a result, which of the following do you expect? O a black market for apartments whereby
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The correct answer is: black market for apartments whereby higher rents are obtained through various other charges.

Explanation:

A price ceiling refers to an upper limit fixed for the price of a product or service. A rent ceiling means that rent cannot be charged higher than this limit.  

This rent ceiling would create higher demand and a smaller supply of apartments. This is because of law of demand and law of supply.  

Because of shortage of apartments in the market, a black market will be created where the apartment owners will be able to charge higher rents through other charges.

Warnes Motors' stock is trading at $20 a share. Three-month call options with an exercise price of $20 have a price of $1.50. Wh
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

B. The price of the call option will increase by less than $2, but the percentage increase in price will be more than 10%.

Explanation:

Given

Trading price = $20

Exercise price of call option = $20

Call option price = $1.50

Price increment = 10% to $22

It's not be noted that the discounted present value of a price of an option is represented by its expected payoff.

An increment of $2 in stock price attracts an increment of more than $2 in the payoff option.

Having highlighted that, it's also to be noted that the increment in expected payoff will be by an amount less than $2 and same with present value because the possibility is less than 1. So, the price of the option will increase by less than $2.

Moving to the percentage increase;

This will be larger than 10%.

This is because when stock price increases by 10%, the value of the option will increase by more than 10%.
