Answer:

475,000

Explanation:

Hey there! For this question, we will be using the COGS and SG&A formulas.

Basic Formula: Revenue - COGS - SG&A = Pretax profits

<em>How do you calculate the SG&A?</em>

Well, SG & A = (Contribution - Prextax income)  

SG & A = ($400,000 - $125,000)

SG & A= $275,000

<em />

<em>What's next?</em>

Now, you must calculate for revenue.

Contribution margin/Revenue = Contribution Margin Ratio  

Revenue = Contribution Margin/Contribution Margin Ratio  

Revenue = $400,000/.25  

<u>Revenue = $1.1m</u>

<u></u>

<em>Now, let's use the COGS formula.</em>

COGS: Starting inventory + purchases - ending inventory = cost of goods sold

Revenue - COGS - SG&A = Pretax profits  

1.1m - COGS - 400k = 125k  

COGS = $1.1m - $125k - $400k

Final answer: 1.100 Million (1,000,000)

oee [108]

Answer:

The amount paid for goodwill is $3,000,000

Explanation:

For computing the goodwill amount, first we have to find out the net assets value based on fair values which is shown below:

Net asset = Total assets - Total liabilities

where,

Total assets = Current assets + Property, plant, and equipment + Other assets

= $14,000,000 + $36,000,000 + $4,000,000

= $54,000,000

And, the total liabilities = Current liabilities + Long-term liabilities

                                      = $7,400,000 + $11,600,000

                                      = $19,000,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $54,000,000 - $19,000,000

= $38,000,000

Now the goodwill would be

= Amount paid - Net assets

= $38,000,000 - $35,000,000

= $3,000,000

igomit [66]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The residual income for each division will be calculated as follows:

Retail division:

Operating income = $8,000,000

Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $40,000,000 = $4,000,000

Residual income = $4,000,000

Commercial division:

Operating income = $12,750,000

Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $75,000,000 = $7,500,000

Residual income = $5,250,000

Internet division:

Operating income = $270,000

Less: Minimum acceptable operating income as a percentage of invested assets = 10% × $1,800,000 = $180,000

Residual income = $90,000

From the information above, we can also see that the commercial division has the highest residual value.

Omega Company adjusts its accounts at the end of each month. The following information has been assembled in order to prepare th
BARSIC [14]

Answer: Decrease by $9,800

Explanation:

It is shown that fees of $9,800 were earned during the month from clients who had paid in advance. Unearned fees are liabilities because they represent revenue that a company made for services it has not delivered yet.

When the company delivers the service like these ones just did, they will reduce this liability because they have now earned this revenue by delivering the service.

Omega will therefore reduce their unearned fees account by $9,800.
