Therrell Corporation has two divisions: Bulb Division and Seed Division. The following report is for the most recent operating p

amm1812

Answer:

a. For Bulb = $183,418.92

b. For Seed = $96,759.49

c. Break even = $336,144.74

Explanation:

Sales = Bulb Division + Seed Division

= $234,000 + $156,000

= $390,000

Variable Expense = Bulb Division + Seed Division

= $60,840 + $32,760

= $93,600

Contribution margin for bulb = Sales - Variable

= $234,000 - $60,840

= $173,160

Contribution margin for Seed division = Sales - Variable

= $156,000 - $32,760

= $123,240

Total = $390,000 - $93,600

= $296,400

Division Income for bulb = contribution margin - Traceable fixed expenses

= $173,160 - $135,730

= $37,430

Division Income for seed division = contribution margin - Traceable fixed expenses

= $123,240 - $76,440

= $46,800

Total of Division income = $296,400 - $212,170

= $84,230

Common Fixed expenses = $25,980 + $17,320

= $43,300

Income = Total of Division income - Common Fixed expenses

= $84,230 - $43,300

= $40,930

Contribution margin ratio for bulb = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100

= $173,160 ÷ $234,000 × 100

= 74.00%

Contribution margin ratio for seed = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100

= $123,240 ÷ $156,000 × 100

= 79%

Total Contribution margin ratio for bulb and seed = Contribution ÷ Sales × 100

= ($173,160 + $123,240) ÷ $390,000 × 100

= $296,400 ÷ $390,000 × 100

= 76%

a and b. Division’s break-even in sales dollars = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

For Bulb = $183,418.92

For Seed = $96,759.49

c. company’s overall break - even in sales dollars

= (212170 + 43300) ÷ 76%

= $336,144.74

Mitch is a director and officer of Numero Uno, Inc. Mitch makes a marketing decision that results in a dramatic decrease in prof

Stells [14]

Answer:

As long as Mitch acted in good faith and tried to make the best possible decision regarding all available information, and his decision was something that any other person could have made, his mistake has to be considered a bad or negative business judgement (business judgement rule). He thought that his actions would benefit the corporation, but he was wrong and the corporation lost money. That types of mistakes are considered normal and just that, mistakes that anyone can make.

In regards with the second issue, that Mitch is a shareholder and a director of a firm that will directly compete with Numero Uno, he must inform the board about this and resign to either Numero Uno or One of a Kind.
