Supplies………………………………………………………………………….. 6,000 4
Miscellaneous administrative expense 8,700 1
Total……………………………………………………………………………………………… $1,152,000 $96.00

<u><em>Part b</em></u>

0.6 or 60 %

<u><em>Part c</em></u>

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

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

<u><em>Part d</em></u>

<em>See attachment </em>

<u><em>Part e</em></u>

Margin of safety in dollars  =    $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage  =  33.3 %

<em><u>Part f</u></em>

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

<u>Income Statement :</u>

<em>Sales - Expenses = Income</em>

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

<u>Contribution Margin ratio :</u>

<em>Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales</em>

                                          =  $1,728,000  ÷  $2,880,000

                                          = 0.6 or 60 %

<u>Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :</u>

<em>Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit</em>

                                        = $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

                                        = 8,000

<em>Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio</em>

                                            = $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

                                            = $1,920,000

<u>Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :</u>

<u />

<em>Margin of safety in dollars  = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)</em>

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

                                             =   $960,000

<em>Margin of safety in %       = (Expected Sales  - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales</em>

                                             = $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

                                             = 33.3 %

<u>Operating leverage</u>

<em>Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax</em>

                                  =  $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

                                  = 3.00

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Guide product development with customer feedback.

Explanation:

Companies make market researches before starting the manufacturing of a product. However, even if a study has been conducted to have a clear idea of what consumers want, the initial product offered may not meet customers' needs for different reasons.

In such a case, <em>companies should take advantage of the feedback clients can provide about the product so those suggestions can be considered into the production process which will result in an output that matches better consumers' expectations.</em>

Today, you turn 21. Your birthday wish is that you will be a millionaire by your 40th birthday. In an attempt to reach this goal
Degger [83]

Answer:

rate of 0.000171716533316905 = 0.017% daily

Explanation:

we need to solve for the rate of an annuity for 19 years with daily deposits of 75 dolllars to yield a principal of 1,000,000 dollars

365 days x 19 years = 6,935 days

we use goal seek on excel as follow:

on A1 we write 0.01 this will be a placeholder for the rate

then on A2 we write  =FV(A1;6935;75)

then with goal seek we definethat we want A2 equal to 1,000,000 changing A1 (rate)

which give us:

0.000171717  = 0.017% per day to achieve the goal:

C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\  

C 75

time 6935

rate 0.000171717

75 \times \frac{1-(1+0.000171716533316905)^{-6935} }{0.000171716533316905} = FV\\  

FV $999,999.9999
