4. The following is Arkadia Corporation's contribution format income statement for last month: Sales $1,200,000 Variable expenses 800,000 Contribution margin 400,000 Fixed expenses 300,000 Net operating income $100,000 The company has no beginning or ending inventories and produced and sold 20,000 units during the month. (Each requirement is worth 3 points for a total of 18 points) Required: a. What is the company's contribution margin ratio
Answer:
Missing word "sold 20,000 units during the month at a sales price of $60 per unit.. b. What is the company's degree of operating leverage? c. How many units would the company have to sell to achieve a desired operating income before taxes of $150,000?"
a. Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
= 400000 / 1200000
= 0.3333
= 33.33%
b. Operating Leverage = Contribution / Net Income
= 400000 / 100000
= 4 Times
c. Sale to achieve desired profit = (Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) / Contribution Margin Ratio
= (300000 + 150000) / 0.3333
= $1350000
Sales in Units = $1350000 / 60 units = 22500 units
For each additional room in the house, we estimate the appraised value to increase $74,800. For a house with 0 rooms, we estimate the appraised value to be $74,800. For each additional room in the house, we estimate the appraised value to increase $17,800. For each additional dollar of appraised value, we estimate the number of rooms in the house to increase by 17.80 rooms.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. Because, it contains only the options of the real question and the real question itself is missing. However I have found that real question. And will be choosing the right option from the given choices. And for your reference, I have attached the real question in the attachment below.
Solution:
The correct option for this question is:
For each additional room in the house, we estimate the appraised value to increase $17,800.
As this is the regression equation question.
y = βo + β1x
The intercept of the line βo = 17.80
Because the intercept of the regression model with the sample of n = 74 is 17.80, so the appraised value to increase is $17800.

A. $155,798,733.
B. $189,973,732.
C. $161,718,730.
D. $173,523,730.
E. $145,348,733.
Answer:
A. $155,798,733.
Explanation:
The first task to determine the break-even point in sales dollars as shown below:
break-even point in sales dollars=fixed costs/contribution margin ratio
fixed costs=$1,650,500
contribution margin ratio=unit contribution margin/sales price
unit contribution margin=unit sales price- unit variable costs
unit contribution margin=$3,800-$2,300
unit contribution margin=$1,500
contribution margin ratio=$1500/$3,800
contribution margin ratio=39.47%
break-even point in sales dollars=$1,650,500/39.47%
break-even point in sales dollars=$4,181,657
margin of safety (MOS) in sales dollars=current sales- break-even point in sales dollars
current sales=42,100*$3,800=$159,980,000
margin of safety (MOS) in sales dollars=$159,980,000-$4,181,657=$155,798,343(closest to $155,798,733)

On October 21, 2004, Abitibi-Consolidated Inc., a large Canadian-based newsprint and groundwood producer, reported net income for its third quarter, 2004, of $182 million. This compares with a net loss for the same quarter of 2003 of $70 million. Sales for the quarter were up, to $1528 million, and earnings excluding low persistence items, was a loss of $27 million. the low - persistence items included a gain of $239 million before tax from foreign exchange conversion. Much of the company's long term debt is denominated in US dollars. The foreign exchange gain arose because of the rising value of the Canadian dollar, relative to the US dollar, during the quarter. Comparable figures for the third quarter of 2003 were as follows: sales of $ 1,340 mil-lion, a loss before low- persistence items of $ 32 million, and foreign exchange conversion gain of $ 13 million. There is no mention of R& D costs in the company’s third quarter report. Its 2003 annual report mentions R& D only in passing, with reference to forest conservation.

The S& P/ TSX Composite index gained 59 points to close at 8,847 on the same day. According to media reports, the increases were driven by a "red- hot" materials and energy sect

Staley Co. manufactures computer monitors. The following is a summary of its basic cost and revenue data: Per Unit Percent Sales price $525 100 Variable costs 300 57 Unit contribution margin $225 43 Assume that Staley Co. is currently selling 500 computer monitors per month and monthly fixed costs are $75,000. Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 500 units are sold would be (round intermediate calculation up to nearest whole number of units): Group of answer choices 33.2%. 20.5%. 17.7%. 19.5%. 23.7%.
Answer:
36%
Explanation:
Calculation for what Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 500 units are sold would be
First step is to calculate the Break even point units using this formula
Break even point units =( Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit)
Let plug in the formula
Break even point units= ($75,000 / $225)
Break even point units= 320 units
Second step is to calculate the Margin of safety sales in units using this formula
Margin of safety sales in units = Actual sales units - Break even sales units
Let plug in the formula
Margin of safety sales in units = 500 - 320
Margin of safety sales in units= 180
Now let calculate Margin of safety ratio using this formula
Margin of safety ratio = ( margin of safety units / Actual sales units) *100
Let plug in the formula
Margin of safety ratio= (180 / 500 ) *100
Margin of safety ratio= 36%
Therefore Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 500 units are sold would be 36%

Prepare a multiple-step income statement; 100,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the year.
Answer:
Net income = $110,400
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the multiple-step income statement for the Year Ended December 31, 2020.
Multiple-step income statement can be described as an income statement that that contains multiple additions and subtractions employed in order calculate the net income.
In a multiple-step income statement, the gross profit is shown and the operating revenues and expenses are clearly separated from the nonoperating revenues, expenses, gains, and losses.
In the attached excel, a net income is $110,400.
It is estimated that the annual sales of an energy saving device will be 20,000 the first year and increase by 10,000 per year unitl 50,000 units are sold during the fourth year. Proposal A is to purchase manufacturing equipment costing $120,000 with an estimated salvage value of $15,000 at the end of 4 years.Proposal B is to purchase equipment costing $280,000 with an estimated salvage value of $32,000 at the end of 4 years. The variable manufacturing cost per unit under proposal A is estimated to be $8,00, but is estimated to be only $2.60 under proposal B. If the interest rate is 9%, which proposal should be accepted for a 4-year production horizon?
Answer:
Proposal B should be accepted
Explanation:
1 2 3 4
Sales(Units) 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000
Variable Cost (A) 160,000 240,000 320,000 400,000- 15,000
Variable Cost (B) 52,000 78,000 104,000 130,000 - 32,000
PV Factor(9%) 0.917 0.841 0.772 0.708
PV OF Variable Cost(A) 146,720 201,840 247,040 272,580
PV of Variable Cost(B) 47,684 65,598 80,288 69,384
Total PV of Variable Cost of A: $868,180
Total PV of Variable Cost of B: $262,954
Difference in PV of Expenses= $605,226
Difference in PV of Outflow = 280,000 - 120,000 = $160,000
So, Proposal B should be accepted because it has a cost saving of Net $445,226 (605,226 - 160,000).
. The equality of MR and MC is essential for profit maximization in all market structures because if multiple choice 1 MR and MC are equal, economic profits will be zero. MR is less than MC, producing more will increase profits. MR and MC are equal, any other output level will result in reduced profits. MR is greater than MC, producing more will lower profits.
Answer:
MR and MC are equal, any other output level will result in reduced profits.
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the increase in the total cost as a result of producing one additional unit. Marginal revenue is the increase in revenue resulting from the sale of one additional unit. Profit-maximization is the process by which a firm determines the price and output level that will result in the largest profit. The reason behind this strategy is that the total profit reaches its maximum point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost and the firm will continue to produce until marginal profit is zero. The marginal profit equals the marginal revenue minus the marginal cost.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations
Cost of Machine = $430,300
Useful life of machine = 27 years
Salvage value = $0
Expected return on investment = 11%
Period of equal rental payments = 27 years
From the online financial calculator:
Payment Every Year = $50,340.44
Total of 27 Payments = $1,359,191.80
Total Interest = $928,891.80
Amortization Table shows that at the end of 27 years:
Principal = 32%
Interest = 68% of the total lease payments.
Which of the statements is the best description of inflation? The prices of only consumer goods are increasing. The price of all goods and services have increased proportionately. The price of all goods and services in the economy are increasing. Real GDP is rising. An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Answer:
An increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Mathematically, inflation is given by the formula;
Inflation = Nominal interest - Real interest rate
Hence, the best description of inflation is an increase in the overall price level has occurred.
Additionally, economics can be classified into two (2) main categories, namely;
1. Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.
2. Microeconomics can be defined as the study of the effect of price and quantity levels through interactions between individual buyers and sellers in various markets. Simply stated, it focuses on analyzing or evaluating the decisions of consumers (buyers) and those of firms (sellers) such as methods of production, pricing; and the manner in which government policies affect those decisions.
Hence, macroeconomic is a kind of externalities that affects the levels of unemployment, inflation, or growth in the economy as a whole.
