Answer:
The question is not incomplete as it is missing the requirement below:
A) The activity rates for each activity and
B) The activity-based factory overhead per unit for each product.
Fabrication activity rate=$68 /dlh
Assembly activity rate =$35 /dlh
Setup activity rate =$390/setup
inspection activity rate=$90/inspection
Speed boat activity based factory overhead=$387000
Bass boat activity based factory overhead=$213000
Explanation:
Fabrication activity rate=$204,000/(2000+1000)=$68 /dlh
Assembly activity rate =$105000/(1000+2000)=$35 /dlh
Setup activity rate =$156000/(300+100)=$390/setup
inspection activity rate=$135000/(1100+400)=$90/inspection
Speed boat total overhead is computed thus:
fabrication $68*2000 136000
Assembly $35*1000 35000
setup $390*300 117000
inspection $90*1100 99000
Total 387000
bass boat total overhead is computed thus:
fabrication $68*1000 68000
Assembly $35*2000 70000
setup $390*100 39000
inspection $90*400 36000
Total 213000
The question requires allocating factory overhead costs to speedboats and bass boats using Activity-Based Costing. We calculate overhead cost per unit for each activity by dividing the activity's cost by its total usage and then by the number of units produced. The provided manufacturing data is utilized in this allocation process.
The question involves Activity-Based Costing (ABC), a system used to determine the cost of products or services more accurately. ABC assigns factory overhead costs to products based on their usage of activities, rather than using a traditional single overhead rate. For Bardot Marine Company, the total factory overhead is divided into four activities (fabrication, assembly, setup, and inspection) with respective costs.
To calculate the overhead cost per unit for each type of boat (speedboat and bass boat), we'll allocate each activity's cost based on the direct labor hours (dlh) and the number of setups and inspections required for each boat. After allocating the overhead costs, we could then determine the overhead cost per unit by dividing the total overhead costs by the number of units budgeted to be produced.
Let's break it down for the fabrication activity for speedboats as an example:
Total fabrication overhead cost: $204,000Total dlh for fabrication (speedboats and bass boats): 3,000 dlhSpeedboat fabrication usage: 2,000 dlhOverhead cost per dlh for fabrication: $204,000 / 3,000 dlh = $68 per dlhOverhead cost allocated to speedboat fabrication: $68 per dlh \\* 2,000 dlh = $136,000Number of speedboats produced: 250 unitsFabrication overhead cost per speedboat unit: $136,000 / 250 units = $544 per unitThis process would be repeated for each activity for both products to determine the total overhead cost per unit for each boat type.
[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Raner, Harris & Chan is a consulting firm that specializes in information systems for medical and dental clinics. The firm has two offices—one in Chicago and one in Minneapolis. The firm classifies the direct costs of consulting jobs as variable costs. A contribution format segmented income statement for the company’s most recent year is given: Office Total Company Chicago Minneapolis Sales $ 450,000 100.0 % $ 90,000 100 % $ 360,000 100 % Variable expenses 243,000 54.0 % 27,000 30 % 216,000 60 % Contribution margin 207,000 46.0 % 63,000 70 % 144,000 40 % Traceable fixed expenses 100,800 22.4 % 46,800 52 % 54,000 15 % Office segment margin 106,200 23.6 % $ 16,200 18 % $ 90,000 25 % Common fixed expenses not traceable to offices 72,000 16.0 % Net operating income $ 34,200 7.6 % Required:

1-b. Compute the break-even point for the Chicago office and for the Minneapolis office.
1-c. Is the companywide break-even point greater than, less than, or equal to the sum of the Chicago and Minneapolis break-even points?
Answer:
Part 1-a: The breakeven of the complete company is $375652.17
Part 1-b: The breakeven for the Chicago Office is $66857.14 while that of the Minneapolis office is $135000.
Part 1-c: The value of breakeven for the company is more than that of the Chicago and Minneapolis office.
Explanation:
Part 1-a
For the whole company
[tex]Contribution \,Ratio=\dfrac{Contribution\, Margin \times 100}{Sales}[/tex]
Here the Contribution Margin is $207,000
Sales is $450,000
So the contribution ratio is given as
[tex]Contribution \,Ratio=\dfrac{207000 \times 100}{450000}\\Contribution \,Ratio=46\%[/tex]
Now Fixed cost of the company is given as sum of the traceable fixed expenses and non-traceable expenses which are given as
[tex]Fixed \,Cost=Traceable\, Fixed\, Expenses+Non-traceable\, Fixed\, Expenses[/tex]
Here
Traceable fixed expenses are $100,800
Non traceable fixed expenses are 72,000
[tex]Fixed \,Cost=Traceable\, Fixed\, Expenses+Non-traceable\, Fixed\, Expenses\\Fixed \,Cost=100800+72000\\Fixed \,Cost=172800[/tex]
Now the Breakeven is given as
[tex]Breakeven=\dfrac{Fixed\,Cost}{Contribution\,Ratio}\\Breakeven=\dfrac{172800}{46\%}\\Breakeven=\dfrac{172800}{0.46}\\Breakeven=\$375652.17[/tex]
So the breakeven of the complete company is $375652.17
Part 1-b
ChicagoFor the Chicago office
[tex]Contribution \,Ratio=\dfrac{Contribution\, Margin \times 100}{Sales}[/tex]
Here the Contribution Margin is $63,000
Sales is $90,000
So the contribution ratio is given as
[tex]Contribution \,Ratio=\dfrac{63000 \times 100}{90000}\\Contribution \,Ratio=70\%[/tex]
Traceable fixed cost for Chicago are $46,800
Now the Breakeven is given as
[tex]Breakeven=\dfrac{Fixed\,Cost}{Contribution\,Ratio}\\Breakeven=\dfrac{46800}{70\%}\\Breakeven=\dfrac{46800}{0.70}\\Breakeven=\$66857.14[/tex]
So the breakeven of the Chicago office is $66857.14
MinneapolisFor the Minneapolis office
[tex]Contribution \,Ratio=\dfrac{Contribution\, Margin \times 100}{Sales}[/tex]
Here the Contribution Margin is $144,000
Sales is $360,000
So the contribution ratio is given as
[tex]Contribution \,Ratio=\dfrac{144000 \times 100}{360000}\\Contribution \,Ratio=40\%[/tex]
Traceable fixed cost for Chicago are $54,000
Now the Breakeven is given as
[tex]Breakeven=\dfrac{Fixed\,Cost}{Contribution\,Ratio}\\Breakeven=\dfrac{54000}{40\%}\\Breakeven=\dfrac{54000}{0.40}\\Breakeven=\$135000[/tex]
So the breakeven of the Minneapolis office is $135000
Part 1-c
The sum of the breakeven for the Chicago and Minneapolis office is $66857.14+$135000=$201857.14
The value of breakeven for the company is $375652.17
As the value of breakeven for the company is more than that of the Chicago and Minneapolis office.
Final answer:
The companywide break-even point is $375,750, calculated by dividing total fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio. The Chicago office's break-even point is $66,861, and the Minneapolis office's break-even point is $135,000. The companywide break-even point is not equal to the sum of both offices' break-even points.
Explanation:
To calculate the companywide break-even point in dollar sales, we use the formula Break-even Point (BEP) = Total Fixed Costs / (Total Sales - Variable Costs). From the given information, total fixed costs are the sum of traceable fixed expenses and common fixed expenses not traceable to offices, which equals $100,800 + $72,000 = $172,800.
The total sales and variable costs are given as $450,000 and $243,000 respectively. Therefore:
BEP = $172,800 / ($450,000 - $243,000)BEP = $172,800 / $207,000BEP = 0.835To find the dollar amount of the break-even point, we multiply the BEP ratio by total sales:
BEP in dollars = 0.835 * $450,000BEP in dollars = $375,750The break-even point for each office is calculated separately using the same formula, including only the fixed costs traceable to that office.
For the Chicago office:
BEP = $46,800 / ($90,000 - $27,000)BEP = $46,800 / $63,000BEP = 0.7429BEP in dollars = 0.7429 * $90,000BEP in dollars = $66,861For the Minneapolis office:
BEP = $54,000 / ($360,000 - $216,000)BEP = $54,000 / $144,000BEP = 0.375BEP in dollars = 0.375 * $360,000BEP in dollars = $135,000The companywide break-even point is not equal to the sum of the Chicago and Minneapolis break-even points. When adding up the break-even points of both offices, we get $66,861 (Chicago) + $135,000 (Minneapolis) = $201,861, which is less than the companywide break-even point of $375,750.
Given the following financial statements for GM, the return on assets is ______ percent? (Write your answer as a percentage, rounding to the nearest 100ths place value—e.g., 5.25. Omit the percent sign in your answer.)
Final answer:
The return on assets can be calculated by dividing the net income by the average total assets and expressing it as a percentage.
Explanation:
The return on assets can be calculated by dividing the net income by the average total assets and expressing it as a percentage.
Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Average Total Assets
For General Motors (GM), to calculate the return on assets, you would need the net income and average total assets data from their financial statements.
Lasiter Corp. reported net credit sales of $2,000,000 and cost of goods sold of $1,400,000 for 2014. On January 1, 2014, accounts receivable was $250,000. Amounts owed by customers increased by $20,000 during 2014. Rounding to two decimal places, what is Lassiter's accounts receivable turnover rate for 2014
Answer:
The correct answer is 7.69.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Net credit sales = $2,000,000
Cost of goods sold = $1,400,000
Account receivable = $250,000
During year Account receivable = $250,000 + $20,000 = $270,000
So, we can calculate the accounts receivable turnover rate by using following formula:
Turnover rate = Net credit sales ÷ Average account receivable
Where Average account receivable = ($250,000 + $270,000) ÷ 2
= $260,000
So, by putting the value we get,
Turnover rate = $2,000,000 ÷ $260,000
= 7.69
Hence, the accounts receivable turnover rate is 7.69.

2. Hired an employee does not need any transaction as there is no financial involvement in just hiring an employee.
3. Prepaid expense is actually an asset for us as we paid expenses in advance which is not incurred yet. It will be recognized as expense with passage of time.
4. Payment to worker is an expenses against a credit to cash as wage is paid in cash.
5. Revenue earned should be recorded and also received so cash will be debited for the receipt from sales and revenue shold be debited due to its nature of account.
A company has determined that its optimal capital structure consists of 43 percent debt and the rest is equity. Given the following information, calculate the firm's weighted average cost of capital.kd = 7.0 %Tax rate = 35 %P0 = $ 28.86 Growth = 4.9 %D1 = $ 0.94 Show your answer to the nearest .1%
Answer:
31.5%
Explanation:
Given from the question kd = 7.0 %
Tax rate = 35 %
P0 = $ 28.86
Growth g = 4.9 %
D1 = $ 0.94
First find the cost of common stock by
rS = D1/P0 + g
=0.94/$28.86 + 0.49
=0.523
= 52.3%
Finally, calculate the weighted average cost of capital WACC,
using rs= 0.523,
Tax rate =43% =0.43
Equity E 100% - 43% = 57% =0.57 and
kd=7.0 % = 0.07
so WACC = (D/A)(1 - Tax rate)kd+(E/A)rs
= 0.43(1 - 0.43)(0.07) + 0.57(0.523)
0.0172 + 0.298
= 0.315
= 31.5%
On February 1, 2021, Arrow Construction Company entered into a three-year construction contract to build a bridge for a price of $8,510,000. During 2021, costs of $2,170,000 were incurred with estimated costs of $4,170,000 yet to be incurred. Billings of $2,670,000 were sent, and cash collected was $2,420,000.
In 2022, costs incurred were $2,670,000 with remaining costs estimated to be $3,855,000. 2022 billings were $2,920,000 and $2,645,000 cash was collected. The project was completed in 2023 after additional costs of $3,970,000 were incurred. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Arrow recognizes revenue over time according to the percentage of completion.
Required:
1. Compute the amount of revenue and gross profit or loss to be recognized in 2021, 2022, and 2023 using the percentage of completion method.
2a. Prepare journal entries for 2021 to record the transactions described (credit "various accounts" for construction costs incurred).
2b. Prepare journal entries for 2022 to record the transactions described (credit "various accounts" for construction costs incurred).
3a. Prepare a partial balance sheet to show the presentation of the project as of December 31, 2021.

Revenue and gross profit or loss are calculated using the percentage of completion method based on costs incurred and estimated total costs for each of Arrow Construction Company's fiscal years (2021, 2022, 2023). Journal entries would reflect the progression of the construction costs, billings, and revenue recognition.
Explanation:Calculation of Revenue and Gross Profit/Loss
Using the percentage of completion method, the recognized revenue and gross profit or loss for each year would be calculated based on the costs incurred and the total estimated costs. Here's how to calculate it for each year:
2021:
Total costs incurred to date: $2,170,000
Total estimated costs: $2,170,000 + $4,170,000 = $6,340,000
Percentage of completion: $2,170,000 / $6,340,000 = 34.22%
Revenue recognized: 34.22% of $8,510,000 = $2,910,467
Gross profit: Revenue recognized - Costs incurred = $2,910,467 - $2,170,000 = $740,467
2022:
Total costs incurred to date: $2,170,000 + $2,670,000 = $4,840,000
Total estimated costs: $4,840,000 + $3,855,000 = $8,695,000
Percentage of completion: $4,840,000 / $8,695,000 = 55.68%
Revenue recognized: 55.68% of $8,510,000 = $4,736,028
Gross profit: Revenue recognized - Costs incurred to date = $4,736,028 - $4,840,000 = ($103,972) (loss)
2023:
Total costs incurred: $8,810,000
Total contract price: $8,510,000
Revenue recognized: $8,510,000 (full contract price as project is completed)
Gross profit: Revenue recognized - Costs incurred to date = $8,510,000 - $8,810,000 = ($300,000) (loss)
Journals entries for transactions and partial balance sheet presentations would follow the standard accounting format showing construction in progress, billings on construction contract, and construction costs, among other accounts.
1) Amount of Revenue and Gross profit or loss (2021,2022, and 2023) is $744,624, -$845,305 (Gross Loss), -$199,319 (Gross Loss)
2a) Journal entries for 2021 is (Record construction costs $2,170,000 , Record Billings $2,670,000 , Record cash collected $2,420,000)
2b) Journal entries for 2022 is (Record construction costs $2,670,000 , Record Billings $2,920,000, Record cash collected $2,645,000)
3a) Partial balance sheet for December 31, 2021 is $244,624
3b) Partial balance sheet for December 31, 2022 is $850,681
Percentage of Completion Method for Construction Contract:
Let's calculate the revenue and gross profit to be recognized in each year using the percentage of completion method:
1. Revenue and Gross Profit Calculation:
2021:
Cost Incurred to Date (2021) = $2,170,000Total Estimated Costs (incurred + yet to incur) = $2,170,000 + $4,170,000 = $6,340,000Percentage of Completion = $2,170,000 / $6,340,000 ≈ 34.24%Revenue Recognized = 34.24% of $8,510,000 ≈ $2,914,624Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost Incurred = $2,914,624 - $2,170,000 = $744,6242022:
Cost Incurred to Date (2021 + 2022) = $2,170,000 + $2,670,000 = $4,840,000Total Estimated Costs (updated) = $4,840,000 + $3,855,000 = $8,695,000Percentage of Completion = $4,840,000 / $8,695,000 ≈ 55.69%Revenue Recognized = 55.69% of $8,510,000 ≈ $4,739,319Revenue to be Recognized in 2022 = $4,739,319 - $2,914,624 ≈ $1,824,695Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost Incurred = $1,824,695 - $2,670,000 = -$845,305 (Gross Loss)2023:
Cost Incurred to Date (2021 + 2022 + 2023) = $4,840,000 + $3,970,000 = $8,810,000Total Estimated Costs (final) = $8,810,000Percentage of Completion = $8,810,000 / $8,810,000 = 100%Revenue Recognized = 100% of $8,510,000 = $8,510,000Revenue to be Recognized in 2023 = $8,510,000 - $4,739,319 ≈ $3,770,681Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost Incurred = $3,770,681 - $3,970,000 ≈ -$199,319 (Gross Loss)2.

In 2005, when MySpace was the leading social network, News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal and Fox News, bought the firm for $580 million. Since then, its membership has declined precipitously due to changing consumer preferences. As a result, News Corp. sold MySpace to a group of investors for a paltry $38 million in mid-2011. This is an example of how __________ forces impact the marketing environment. A. economic B. competitive C. social D. technological E. regulatory A B C D E
Answer:
Social
Explanation:
In this secanrio social forces affected MySpace performance and they were eventually sold at $38 million from an initial value of $580 million.
Social factors affect consumer behaviour, through influence of a person or group on another through culture social class, reference groups and family.
My Space targeted only people below 25 years, so this means they cannot interact with people in other age groups. They lost appeal for MySpace as a result.
Jefferson's recently paid an annual dividend of $1.31 per share. The dividend is expected to decrease by 4% each year. How much should you pay for this stock today if your required return is 16%?
Answer:
$6.29
Explanation:
Dividend is $1.31 per share
Decreased by 4%
Required return is 16%
Therefore:
Price = [$1.31 × (1 - .04)]/[.16 - (-.04)] = $6.29
Answer:
I should pay $10.92 per share for the stock today as shown below
Explanation:
The maximum price a rational investor could pay for a share is given by the formula:
Po=Div/rate of return-growth rate
Po is the price to paid
Rate of return here is 16%,which is similar to return on equity
The growth rate of the share of the dividend is 4%
Po=$1.31/(0.16-0.04)
Po =$10.92
The price has factored in both the dividend yield and gains yield of the share.
dividend yield is the return earned by share through dividends
gains yield is another return earned by share through appreciation in its price in the market place-stock exchange
Total return on return on share is the sum of both.

Find the cost of building a new fabrication plant that will be 33% bigger than a similar plant that cost $8 million to build. The appropriate capacity exponent is 0.90.
Solution:
Let the size of old plant be x
New plant is 33% bigger than the old plant.
So,
Size of the new plant [tex]=x+(0.33 * x)[/tex]
= x + 0.33x = 1.33x
Cost of the old plant = $8 million
Capacity exponent = 0.90
Calculate the cost of new plant -
Cost of new plant = Cost of old plant * (Size of new plant/Size of old plant)capacity exponent
Cost of new plant =[tex]=\$ 8 \text { million } *(1.33 \mathrm{x} / \mathrm{x})^{0.90}[/tex]
Cost of new plant =[tex]\text { S8 million } *(1.33)^{0.90}[/tex] = $10.34 million
Thus,
The cost of building new plant is $10.34 million.
Final answer:
To find the cost for a fabrication plant 33% larger than a plant costing $8 million, the new plant capacity is calculated as $10.64 million. Due to the capacity exponent of 0.90, the cost increase is less than the capacity increase, resulting in a new cost of $10.248 million.
Explanation:
To find the cost of building a new fabrication plant that is 33% bigger than a similar plant that cost $8 million to build, we start by recognizing that this is a math problem involving economies of scale and the specific capacity exponent, which is 0.90 in this case. The capacity exponent is often used to determine how costs scale with production capacity.
First, we calculate the new size of the plant by increasing the similar plant size by 33%. Since the original plant cost $8 million, we find the increased capacity:
New Capacity = Original Capacity x (1 + Percentage Increase)
New Capacity = $8 million x (1 + 0.33)
New Capacity = $8 million x 1.33
New Capacity = $10.64 million
However, due to the capacity exponent of 0.90, the cost increase will be less than proportional to the increase in capacity:
New Cost = Original Cost x (New Capacity / Original Capacity) ^ Capacity Exponent
New Cost = $8 million x (1.33) ^ 0.90
New Cost = $8 million x 1.281
New Cost = $10.248 million

Suppose Susan is an avid reader and buys only comic books. Susan deposits $1,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 5%. Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a comic book is priced at $10.00. Initially, the purchasing power of Susan's $1,000 deposit is _________comic books.
Final answer:
The initial purchasing power of Susan's $1,000 deposit is the ability to purchase 100 comic books, since each comic book costs $10.00.
Explanation:
The question you've asked is about how to calculate the initial purchasing power of Susan's $1,000 deposit in a bank with a nominal interest rate of 5%. Since Susan only buys comic books priced at $10.00 each, the purchasing power of her deposit is simply the number of comic books she can buy with $1,000.
If one comic book costs $10.00, then Susan can buy $1,000 / $10.00 = 100 comic books. This calculation does not require considering the interest rate because it asks for the initial purchasing power, meaning how much Susan can buy at the time of her deposit before any interest accrues.

The process for converting present values into future values is called compounding. This process requires knowledge of the values of three of four time-value-of-money variables. Which of the following is not one of these variables?
a. The trend between the present and future values of an investment
b. The interest rate (I) that could be earned by deposited funds
c. The duration of the deposit (N)
d. The present value (PV) of the amount deposited
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": The trend between the present and future values of an investment.
Explanation:
Compounding is the process in which earnings of an investment are reinvested to earn more profits in a determined period of time. In other words, present values are used to convert them into future values expecting they will be higher. Compounding can also be defined as interest on interest.
To compute compounding figures it is necessary the interest rate that could be earned out of an investment and its duration and the present value of the investment in dollars quantity.
Thus, the trend between the present and future value of the investment remains useless for compounding.

At December 31, John Photography Supplies estimated that approximately 5 % of merchandise sold will be returned. Sales Revenue for the year was $ 90 comma 000 with a cost of $ 58 comma 000 . Journalize the adjusting entries needed to account for the estimated returns.
Answer:
Date Description Debit Credit
31st Dec Sales Revenue $4,500
Refunds Payable $4,500
31st Dec Inventory Estimated Returns $2,900
Cost of Goods Sold $2,900
Explanation:
First, the obvious facts about the question
Estate of returned merchandise = 5%
Sales revenue for the year = $90,000
Cost of goods sold = $59,000
Step 1: Sales Revenue is already $90,000 Credit entry (it is an income) and as such any return will have a debit entry to reduce the revenue as follows
Return = 0.05 x $90,000 = $4,500
This same refunds will also go into the refunds payable account as a current liability (credit entry)
Step 2: The returns will also affect the inventory and cost of sales as follows
0.05 x $58,000 = $2,900
This will increase the inventory 9debit side and reduce cost of sales credit side.

The entry in the Journal to account for estimated returns from sales of merchandise will require adjustments of Sales Returns and Allowances and the Cost of Goods Sold. This is done by estimating 5% of the sales and 5% of the COGS which result to $4,500 and $2,550 respectively.
Explanation:At the end of the year, John Photography Supplies estimated that 5% of the $90,000 worth of sold merchandise will be returned. This implies that the return is expected to be $4,500 (5% of $90,000). The Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is $58,000 for the year. When accounting for the estimated returns, we would have two adjusting entries:
Sales Returns and Allowances: Debit $4,500, and Credit Sales Revenue: $4,500Inventory: Debit $2,550 (5% of COGS), and Credit COGS: $2,550This adjust the sales revenue and the COGS downwards, thereby estimating the impact of the goods that are expected to be returned.

Lin Corporation has a single product whose selling price is $120 per unit and whose variable expense is $80 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $50,000. Required: 1. Calculate the unit sales needed to attain a target profit of $10,000. 2. Calculate the dollar sales needed to attain a target profit of $15,000.
Answer:
1) Break-even point= 1,500 units
2) Break-even point (dollars)= $195,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The selling price is $120 per unit and variable expense is $80 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $50,000.
1) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin
Break-even point= (50,000 + 10,000)/ (120 - 80)
Break-even point= 1,500 units
2) Now, we need to calculate the break-even point in dollars:
Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin ratio
Break-even point (dollars)= 65,000/ (40/120)= $195,000
To attain a target profit of $10,000, Lin Corporation needs to sell 250 units. To attain a target profit of $15,000, Lin Corporation needs to make $45,000 in sales.
Explanation:To calculate the unit sales needed to attain a target profit of $10,000, we need to consider the contribution margin per unit. The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting the variable expense per unit from the selling price per unit. In this case, the contribution margin per unit is $120 - $80 = $40. To attain a target profit of $10,000, we divide the target profit by the contribution margin per unit: $10,000 / $40 = 250 units.
To calculate the dollar sales needed to attain a target profit of $15,000, we can use the same approach. The contribution margin ratio is calculated as the contribution margin per unit divided by the selling price per unit. In this case, the contribution margin ratio is $40 / $120 = 1/3. To attain a target profit of $15,000, we divide the target profit by the contribution margin ratio: $15,000 / (1/3) = $45,000.
13. Josiah would like to set up an account to provide for some retirement funding. He plans to retire in 30 years and can invest in an account paying 7%. Because he plans to do some traveling during the first ten years of his retirement, he would like to have enough money to begin withdrawing $5,000 per year at the beginning of each year. The first withdrawal would occur at the beginning of the 31st year. At retirement he would also like to move the funds to a safer account that might pay only 5%.

Under a job order cost system, costs are accumulated for: Multiple Choice Each individual unit produced. Each job supervisor. Each batch of production, known as a job or lot. Each department in the production cycle.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": Each batch of production, known as a job or lot.
Explanation:
Job order cost systems are used to accumulate the cost per unit of items that are different enough, each one having significant costs. Under this costing system each item produced is given its direct material costs, labor costs, and overhead. Clothing, food, and aircraft manufacturing companies use the job order cost system.
Unitary costs are accumulated per batch of productions under this type of costing system.
Final answer:
Costs in a job order cost system are accumulated for each job or lot, with total costs determined by the sum of all inputs multiplied by their factor payments. This system is suitable for tracking production costs of distinctive batches. Understanding economies of scale and the difference between fixed and variable costs is crucial in this context.
Explanation:
Under a job order cost system, costs are accumulated for each batch of production, known as a job or lot. This method is used to track the costs associated with producing a specific batch of products, rather than unit-by-unit or for entire departments. Each job may consist of a single item or a small batch of items, designed to be distinct from other jobs by its particular set of production requirements.
For every input, such as labor or materials, there's an associated factor payment, like wages or material costs. The total cost for producing a job is the sum of the amounts of each input required to produce that quantity of output multiplied by the respective factor payments.
In this context, understanding economies of scale is also necessary. As the quantity of output increases, the cost per unit typically goes down, which means larger production scales can be more cost-efficient.
When assessing costs, it's important to recognize the distinction between fixed costs, which are independent of output levels, and variable costs, which vary based on the production quantity.

Teenage Fanclub Printings sold annual subscriptions to their magazine for $30,000 in December 2017. The magazine is published monthly. The new subscribers received their first magazine in January 2018. 19. Show the adjusting entry should be made in January if the subscriptions were originally recorded as a liability? 0. What amount will be reported on the January 2018 balance sheet for Unearned Subscription Revenue?
Answer: Debit Unearned revenue (liability) $2,500, Credit Revenue $2,500.
Balance in unearned revenue as at 31 January 2018 is $30,000 - $2,500 = $27,500.
Explanation: In the answer above, it was assumed that the sale of the annual subscriptions took place at the end of December 2017. If it had taken place at the beginning of December 2017, the balance in the unearned revenue would reduce by 2 months.
The subscriptions were recorded as a liability because the total amount was not earned when the sale transaction took place. Unwinding of the unearned revenue to revenue takes place at the time the subscribers get their magazine.
Therefore, monthly unwinding of unearned revenue to revenue would be $30,000 / 12 = $2,500. The adjusting entries Teenage Fanclub Printings would have raised when the initial sale took place would be: Debit Account receivable / Cash $30,000, Credit Unearned revenue $30,000. Monthly unwinding of unearned revenue will therefore be Debit Unearned revenue $2,500 Credit Revenue $2,500 till the revenue is fully recognized and the unearned revenue becomes nil.
The adjusting entry should be
Unearned revenue (liability) $2,500
Revenue $2,500.
The Balance in unearned revenue should be $27,500
Adjusting entry & the balance in unearned revenue:The adjusting entry is
Unearned revenue (liability) $2,500 ($30,000 / 12 months)
Revenue $2,500
(being the adjusting entry is recorded)
here the liability is debited as it decreased while the revenue is credited as it increased.
Now the balance in the unearned revenue should be
= $30,000 - $2,500
= $27,500

A good that has a lot of substitutes, that is a luxury and is relatively inexpensive will most likely have a price elasticity of demand that is a. a little higher than 1 b. closer to 10 c. a little lower than 1 d. exactly 1
Answer:
The answer is A.
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand is a little higher than 1.
This means it is price elastic. That is, the demand is sensitive to price. Why? -
1. The good has a lot of substitutes, meaning the bargaining power of buyers is high. Any increase in the price of the good will lead to customers switching to the substitutes.
2. Also, the good is also a luxury good and not a necessity. Luxury goods, unlike necessity goods are not essential. So an increase in price might see customers moving away.
If a demand is inelastic to price, price elasticity of demand will be less than one.
