The purchase of low-quality materials would most likely the result of a favorable materials price variance coupled with an unfavorable material usage variance. Material price variance is the difference between the cost and the budgeted and actual cost to obtain an object or materials, multiply to the total amount of the product purchased. They are what you called positive value of direct material price and negative value of direct material price. A positive value of direct material price variance is the one that is favorable and it means that the direct material was purchased for a lesser price than the standard price. A negative value of direct material price variance is the one that is unfavorable and it means that more than the expected price per unit is paid.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Operating Income = $100,000

Explanation:

1 a. What is the current annual operating income?  

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.3 = 1,500,000

Contribution = 1,000,000 (margin = 1m/2.5m = 40%)

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = $100,000

b. What is the present break even point in revenues?  

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 900,000/0.4 = $2,250,000

2. A $0.04 per unit increase in variable costs  

Revenue - 5,000,000* $0.5 = 2,500,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,000,000*$0.34 = 1,700,000

Contribution = 800,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$900.000

Operating Income = ($100,000)

3. A 10% increase in fixed costs and a 10% increase in units sold  

Revenue - 5,500,000* $0.5 = 2,750,000

Less: Variable Costs - 5,500,000*$0.3 = 1,650,000

Contribution = 1,100,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$990.000

Operating Income = $110,000

4. A 20% decrease in fixed costs, a 20% decrease in selling price, a 10% decrease in variable cost per unit and a 40% increase inunits sold.  

Revenue - 7,000,000* $0.4 = 2,800,000

Less: Variable Costs - 7,000,000*$0.27 = 1,890,000

Contribution = 910,000

Less: Fixed Costs ....$720.000

Operating Income = $190,000

5.Compute the new breakeven point in units for each of the following changes:   A 10% increase in fixed costs  

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 810,000/0.4 = $2,025,000

6. A 10% increase in selling price and a $20,000 increase in fixed costs

Revised Contribution Margin = 0.55 - 0.3 = 0.25; 0.25/0.55 = 0.4545

BEP = FC/Contribution Margin = 1080,000/0.4545 = $2,376,238

David, an Alabama resident, files suit in an Alabama court against QuickAds, an internet company based in Georgia that provides
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

B) not likely to have jurisdiction over the case because QuickAds is based in Georgia.

Explanation:

US laws do not recognize the legal existence of foreign or out of state companies, a company only exists in the state at which it was chartered. Although the internet has complicated things, since boundaries have faded, but some conditions must be met before a state court can serve a foreign company.  

For a foreign company to be served by a state court, it must carry on “continuous and systematic” affiliations with residents of the state which makes them “essentially at home”. The company's operations must be substantial enough to make the company at home, i.e. it must carry a significant amount of business within the states boundaries.

Apparently this is not the case with QuickAds, so Alabama state courts will not have jurisdiction over it.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

The contribution margin concept uses the formula below to calculate the break-even point.

break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit

fixed costs = $3,450.

contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs

= $25- $12

=$13

Break-even = $3,450 /$13

=265.38

=265 units

The break-even point is 265 units. Rebotar Inc. sold 300 basketballs; they meet the break-even point. 300 basketballs are more than 265.
