Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $27 and whose variable expense is $19.17 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $10,962.

Required:

1. Solve for the company’s break-even point in unit sales using the equation method. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

2. Solve for the company’s break-even point in dollar sales using the equation method and the CM ratio. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "CM ratio percent" to nearest whole percent.)

3. Solve for the company’s break-even point in unit sales using the formula method. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

4. Solve for the company’s break-even point in dollar sales using formula method and the CM ratio. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "CM ratio percent" to nearest whole percent.)

The survey data shown as Figure 10 in Chapter 27 indicate that most economists invest using low-cost index funds. Index funds invest in the whole stock market (or at least a large chunk of it). The “low-cost” part matters because even fees that seem small can have a big cumulative effect on your returns over time. Actively managed funds have higher fees. Index funds are not managed so they will have lower fees.

Mutual funds typically come with two types of fees:

• Font-end Load – sales fees investor pays at time of purchase
• Annual fees -- management fees, 12b-1 (distribution) fees, and other expenses

The table below presents information for four hypothetical mutual funds.

Return, load, and fees are expressed as a percentage of total assets.

• Return represents the average annual return on the portfolio.
• Load represents the front-end fee that must be paid when making the initial investment.
• Fees represent the management and distribution fees that are charged on an annual basis. It’s helpful to think about annual fees as reducing the annual return by the percentage rate of the fee.

Suppose you have $10,000 to invest today (time = 0). Create a spreadsheet to model the growth in your investment over 30 years for each of the funds.

Post the following in the discussion:

1. What are the total fees paid for each fund over the full 30 years?
2. Explain how you would make the choice between Fund B and Fund C. That is, how should you think about the trade-off between higher annual fees and lower fees with a load?
3. How do you think this information may change your investing behavior in the future?

After you post your answers, you will need to comment on at least one other post. See if you can help your classmates who are having trouble with the calculations.

Please see the rubric for details on how you will be assessed for this activity. Remember that doing the minimum will give you a passing grade. Earning a higher grade requires more than the minimum.

11-27 (Objectives 11-3 , 11-4) The following are misstatements that can occur in the sales and collection cycle:

A customer number on a sales invoice was transposed and, as a result, charged to the wrong customer. By the time the error was found, the original customer was no longer in business.

A former computer operator, who is now a programmer, entered information for a fictitious sales return and ran it through the computer system at night. When the money came in, he took it and deposited it in his own account.

A nonexistent part number was included in the description of goods on a shipping document. Therefore, no charge was made for those goods.

A customer order was filled and shipped to a former customer, which had already filed for bankruptcy.

The sales manager approved the price of goods ordered by a customer, but he wrote down the wrong price.

A computer operator picked up a computer-based data file for sales of the wrong week and processed them through the system a second time.

For a sale, a data entry operator erroneously failed to enter the information for the salesman’s department. As a result, the salesman received no commission for that sale.

Several remittance advices were batched together for inputting. The cash receipts clerk stopped for coffee, set them on a box, and failed to deliver them to the data input personnel.

Required

Identify the transaction-related management assertion(s) to which the misstatement pertains.
