Answer:

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars=  $ 19500

Explanation:

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin Ratio

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Costs/ Sales)

Break Even Sales Volume in Units = Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin per Unit

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Costs/ Sales)

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= $6,240/1-(130/190)

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= $6,240/1-0.68

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= $6,240/0.32

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= $ 19500

Answer:

$19,760

Explanation:

The Net/operating income is the difference between the total sales and total costs, Total cost is made up of the fixed and variable cost.

Like the total sales, the total variable cost is also affected by the level of activities or units produced/sold.

Mathematically,

Net income = Total sales - variable cost - fixed cost

At breakeven point, the net income is zero as the total sales is equal to the total cost.

Let the number of units to be sold to break even be b

190b - 130b - $6,240 = 0

60b = $6,240

b = 6240/60

= 104 units

Dollar volume of sales per month is required to break-even

= 104 * 190

= $19,760

A physical inventory count of MegaCorp has a $50,000 balance before considering the following:
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The amount of inventory reported on balance sheet is $62,500

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the value at which inventory will be reported on the balance sheet.

To do this, we can employ a mathematical approach.

Mathematically;

Amount of inventory reported in Balance sheet = physical inventory + goods sent on consigned + inventory purchased on fob destination

From the question, we can identify the following;

Physical inventory = $50,000

Goods sent on consigned = $10,000

Inventory purchased on fob destination = $2,500

The amount of inventory reported in balance sheet = 50,000 + 10,000 + 2,500 = $62,500

Delar Co. completed its year-end physical count of inventory. The inventory was valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) costs and t
jekas [21]

Answer:

D. $490,000

Explanation:

The inventory was valued at first-in, first-out (FIFO) costs and totaled $500,000.

<em>Adjustments:</em>                                                              

The goods worth $10,000 (1,000 units x $10 cost) were shipped and billed to a customer meaning that company has already recorded the sales in its income statement therefore they became the property of the customer and should not have been included in the inventory count. The $10,000 should be removed from the inventory recorded bringing the inventory balance at $490,000 ($500,000 - $10,000).

The goods worth $30,000 (6,000 units x $5 cost) will not be included in the total inventory count because the inventory is held on consignment for one of the company's supplier and the ownership of the goods belongs to the consignor (in this case, the supplier) until they are sold. The goods appear in the inventory records of the consignor (in this case, supplier) not the consignee (in this case, the company). In this case, the company has not included the goods in its inventory cost therefore no adjustment is necessary.

​Greystone Group is looking to purchase Heartland Hotels, Inc. Greystone plans to use $5 million in cash and finance $20 million
kramer

Answer:

Leverage buyout

Explanation:

Leverage buyout refers to the acquisition of another company using debt as the main source of financing the deal. The acquiring company borrows from various sources and will often use the assets of the acquired company as collateral. In leverage buyout, the acquiring entity borrows up to 80 percent or more and finances the balance with its equity.

The use of debt enhances the rate of return of the acquiring firm. Greystone Group is using 5 million of its funds and borrowing 20 million. The debts represent 80 percent of the cost of acquisition. The acquiring entity can achieve a higher rate of return by using as little of its funds as possible.
