Answer:

e)  $4,651

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of activity that a company must operate to have its total cost equal to its total revenue. At this level of activity, the business makes a zero profit, as the total contribution is exactly the same as the total fixed cost.

It is important for the business to have an idea of the number of customers or units of product to sell inorder for it to cover its total fixed cost. This is the information the break-point analysis seeks to provide.

Working it out

Break-point in sales = Total General fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin ratio (CMR): Contribution is sales less variable costs. And the contribution margin ratio is the proportion of sales that is earned as contribution. The higher the better.

CMR = contribution/sales

Fixed cost = Contribution + net loss

We can now apply all these relationships to the question given:

Fixed cost = 1720 + 280

                 = 4,000

Contribution margin ratio = 1720/400 = 43%

Break-even sales ($) = 4000/0.43

                                        = $4,651

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

$4,455

Explanation:

The computation of total decrease in earnings (pretax) in Morris Dec. 31, 2021, income statement is given below:-

Interest expense upto 31 Dec 2021 = (Total present value of lease payment - Lease payment on July 1, 2021) × 6% × 6 ÷ 12

= ($58,500 - $7,500) × 6% × 6 ÷ 12

= $51,000 × 6% × 6 ÷ 12

= $1,530

Depreciation expense upto 31 Dec 2021 = Fair value of equipment ÷ Useful life × 6 ÷ 12

= $58,500 ÷ 10 × 6 ÷ 12

= $5,850 × 6 ÷ 12

= $2,925

So, the total decrease in earnings (pretax) in Morris Dec. 31, 2021, income statement = Interest expense upto 31 Dec 2021 + Depreciation expense upto 31 Dec 2021

= $1,530 + $2,925

= $4,455
