Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing financial difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below:

Required:

1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.

2. The president believes that a $6,200 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $81,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the increase (decrease) in the company’s monthly net operating income?

3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $33,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. If the sales manager is right, what will be the revised net operating income (loss)?

4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would grow sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by 0.50 cents per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of $4,300?

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $58,000 each month.

a. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.

b. Assume that the company expects to sell 20,200 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one assuming that operations are not automated and one assuming that they are. (Show data on a per unit and percentage basis, as well as in total, for each alternative.)

c. Would you recommend that the company automate its operations (Assuming that the company expects to sell 20,200)?

Dwyer​,Inc. is a privately held furniture manufacturer. For August 2014​, Dwyer had the following standards for one of its​ products, a wicker​ chair:

The following data were compiled regarding actual

performance​:

actual output units​ (chairs) produced, 2,200​; square yards of input purchased and​ used, 6,300​; price per square​ yard, $6.00​; direct manufacturing labor​ costs, $10,165​; actual hours of​ input, 950​; labor price per​ hour, $10.70.

Read the requirements

Requirement 1. Show computations of price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Give a plausible explanation of why each variance occurred.

​Let's begin by determining the formula used to calculate the actual costs of direct​ materials, then enter the amounts in the formula and calculate the cost.

Next we will calculate the actual input at the budgeted price.

Determine the formula and calculate the costs for the flexible budget.

Now compute the price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Label each variance as favorable​ (F) or unfavorable​ (U).

Now give a plausible explanation of why each variance occurred. Begin with the direct material variances.

For each statement, select the phrase that makes the statement true (e.g., if the answer to the first is A and to the others B, enter ABBBB):

2. Two identical shallow containers are placed on identical scales. A live duck is put in one container. Both containers are then filled with water to their brims; it is observed that the duck is standing on the bottom of its container. The reading on the scale under the container with the duck is ____ the reading on the other scale.
3. A boat containing a cement block floats in a swimming pool. The water level in the pool ____ when the cement block is thrown to the shore.
4. A block of wood floats in a pail of water in a stationary elevator. The level of water in the pail ____ when the elevator accelerates upward.
5. Two balloons of the same volume are filled with helium and hydrogen, respectively. The buoyant force on the helium-filled balloon is ____ the buoyant force on the hydrogen-filled balloon.
6. A glass containing an ice cube is filled with enough water to float the ice cube. The water level in the glass ____ when the ice cube melts.

Many high-end earners such as athletes, entertainers and surgeons have a maximum federal tax rate of up to 40.5% with the Medicare surtax, while entrepreneurs and business executives can often structure their compensation to get capital gains treatment and pay a maximum tax rate virtually half of that at 23.8%. Discuss the equity, risks and opportunities involved in tax planning executive compensation using some the the laws and tools you learned in chapters 5 & 6. Once again label and citations you use and clearly state opinions as such. Alternatively you may discuss tax planning for small business owners and how to best maximize tax savings utilizing the new QBI deduction and managing itemized deductions.

What are some implicit assumptions that are made when valuing a firm using multiples based on comparable firms?

1. Circular motion
   1. If 1 metric ton elevator is accelerating upwards at 7.0 m/s², Calculate the force of tension in the cable.
   2. If the elevator is accelerating downwards at 7.0 m/s² calculate the force of tension in the cable.
   3. Describe the acceleration that is most likely to break the elevator cable.
   4. Now imagine the elevator is in Willy Wonka’s chocolate factor and it can move in any direction. If the elevator is moving at a speed of 3.5 m/s around a curve with a radius of 18 ft, what will the centripetal acceleration of the elevator be?
   5. What will the centripetal force of the elevator be?
   6. If the radius of the curve and the speed of the elevator both double, what will happen to the centripetal force?
