Answer:

The most you can pay for the pitcher is $17.32

Explanation:

A mark up is a percentage that is always applied on the cost to come up at a required gain over cost. The cost is always taken to be 100% when apply a mark up on cost.

If the mark up is of 27% and cost is 100% then a selling price of 22 will be equal to cost + markup.

Let cost be x.

Selling price = Cost + Mark up

22 = 100% * x + 27% * x

22 = 1x + 0.27x

22 = 1.27 x

22/1.27 = x

x = $17.3228 rounded off to $17.32

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

As probability is not correctly given.

Let probability be:

July 31, 2021 = 65%

August 7, 2021 = 25%

August 14, 2021 = 5%

August 21, 2021 = 5%

So, We can calculate the transaction price by using following formula:

Transaction price = (Amount + Bonus) × Probability

July 31, 2018 =  ($950,000 + $50,000) × 65% = $650,000

August 7, 2018 = ($950,000 + $40,000) × 25% = $247,500

August 14, 2018 = ($950,000 + $30,000) × 5% = $49,000

August 21, 2018 = ($950,000 + $20,000) × 5% = $48,500

So, Total transaction price = $650,000 + $247,500 + $49,000 + $48,500

= $995,000

Astro Co. sold 20,000 units of its only product and incurred a $50,000 loss (ignoring taxes) for the current year as shown here.
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Required 1.

Break even point (dollar sales) =   $750,000

Required 2.

Break even point (dollar sales) = $1,250,000

Required 3.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334
