elisa Corporation has two divisions: Division L and Division Q. Data from the most recent month appear below: Total Company Division L Division Q Sales $ 517,000 $ 156,000 $ 361,000 Variable expenses 255,960 82,680 173,280 Contribution margin 261,040 73,320 187,720 Traceable fixed expenses 171,000 49,000 122,000 Segment margin 90,040 $ 24,320 $ 65,720 Common fixed expenses 87,890 Net operating income $ 2,150 The break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

$234,615.38

Explanation:

The computation of the  break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is shown below:

Contribution Margin Ratio for the Division Q is

=Contribution Margin ÷  Sales × 100

= $187,720 ÷ $361,000

= 52%

ANd, Traceable fixed expenses = $122,000

Now

break-even in sales dollars for Division Q is

= Traceable Fixed Cost of Division Q  Contribution Margin Ratio for the Division Q

= $122,000 ÷ 52%

= $234,615.38

All of the following are true about using a predetermined overhead rate to apply overhead except, Multiple Choice Estimates are used to calculate the rate. Using this rate provides managers with up-to-date estimates of the costs of their processes during the period.

The rate is used to apply overhead at the end of the accounting period.

SureLock Manufacturing Co. makes and sells several models of locks. The cost records for the ZForce lock show that manufacturing costs total $23.25 per lock. An analysis of this amount indicates that $13.40 of the total cost has a variable cost behavior pattern, and the remainder is an allocation of fixed manufacturing overhead. The normal selling price of this model is $31.00 per lock. A chain store has offered to buy 12,000 ZForce locks from SureLock at a price of $16.25 each to sell in a market that would not compete with SureLock's regular business. SureLock has manufacturing capacity available and could make these locks without incurring additional fixed manufacturing overhead.
Required:
a. Calculate the effect on SureLock's operating income of accepting the order from the chain store.
b. If SureLock's costs had not been classified by cost behavior pattern, is it likely that a correct special order analysis would have been made?

Suppose you are conducting an analysis of the financial performance of Blue Hamster Manufacturing Inc. over the past three years.
The company did not issue new shares during these three years, and has faced some operational difficulties. The company has thus pilot tested some new forecasting strategies for better operations management. You have collected the company's relevant financial data, made reasonable assumptions based on the information available, and calculated the following ratios.
Ratios Calculated
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
Price-to-cash-flow 2.80 1.96 1.57
Inventory turnover 5.60 4.48 3.58
Debt-to-equity 0.60 0.48 0.38
Based on the preceding information, your calculations, and your assumptions, which of the following statements can be included in your analysis report?
A. A decline in the inventory turnover ratio can be explained by the new inventory management system that the company recently adopted, which led to more efficient inventory management.
B. Blue Hamster Manufacturing Inc.’s ability to meet its debt obligations has improved since its debt-to-equity ratio decreased from 0.60 to 0.38.
C. A plausible reason why Blue Hamster Manufacturing Inc.’s price-to-cash-flow ratio has decreased is that investors expect lower cash flow per share in the future.
D. A decline in the inventory turnover ratio could likely be explained by operational difficulties that the company faced, which led to duplicate orders placed to vendors.
