The Ring Division of A1d-Y6z Company reported the following information for May: selling price per unit .................... $35 variable costs per unit ................... $12 turnover .................................. 2.50 residual income ........................... $229,600 margin .................................... 22% units sold ................................ 40,000 Calculate the number of units the Ring Division needed to sell in May in order for the residual income in May to be $505,600.
Answer:
52,000 units
Explanation:
Selling price = $35*40,000 = $1,400,000
Variable cost = $12 * 40,000 = $480,000
Contribution margin = $1,400,000 - $480,000 = $920,000
Fixed cost = Residual income + Contribution
Fixed cost = $920,000 - $229,600
Fixed cost = $690,400
Sales to earn residual income = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] / Contribution per unit
Sales to earn residual income = [$690,400 + $505,600] / $35 - $12
Sales to earn residual income = $1,196,000 / $23
Sales to earn residual income = 52,000 units
Super Clinics offers one service that has the following annual cost and utilization estimates: Variable cost per visit $ 10 Annual direct fixed costs $50,000 Allocation of overhead costs $20,000 Expected utilization 1,000 visits What price per visit must be set if the clinic wants to make an annual profit of $10,000 on the service? A. $ 70 B. $ 80 C. $ 90 D. $100 E. $110
Answer:
C. $ 90
Explanation:
Number of visits = 1,000
Variable cost = $10 × 1,000 = $10,000
Fixed cost = $50,000
Overhead cost = $20,000
Required profit = $10,000
So,Total Cost = Variable Cost+ Fixed Cost+ Overhead Cost
= $10,000 + $50,000 + $20,000
= $80,000
Now, Price per Visit = (Total Cost+ Required Profit) ÷ Number of visits
= ($80,000 + $10,000) ÷ 1,000
= $90,000 ÷ 1,000
= $90
"Minimum wage laws cause unemployment because the legal minimum wage is set" 9) A) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be greater than labor supply. B) below the market wage, causing labor demand to be greater than labor supply. C) too low. D) below the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply. E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.
Answer: E) above the market wage, causing labor demand to be less than labor supply.
Explanation:
Minimum wage simply refers to the lowest wage that employers can pay their workers. Minimum wage is a form of price floor which means that it's typically higher than the equilibrium or market wage.
In this case, since it's higher than the market wage, there'll be an increase in the supply of labor as those that are unemployed will be willing to work duw to the increase in the wage rate.
On the other hand, there'll be a reduction in the demand for labor as employers typically will want to reduce cost and won't be interested in employing more workers.
Therefore, the correct option is E

Machinery purchased for $150,000 by Tom Brady Co. in 2010 was originally estimated to have a life of 12 years with a salvage value of $24,000 at the end of that time. Depreciation has been recorded for 7 years on this basis. In 2017, it is determined that the total estimated life should be 15 years with a salvage value of $18,000 at the end of that time. Assume straight-line depreciation.
Instructions:
Determine the depreciation expense for 2017.
Answer:
$7,312.50
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:
Book Value is
= Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
= $150,000 - {[($150,000 - $24,000) ÷ 12 ] × 7y}
= $150,000 - [($126,000 ÷ 12 ) × 7]
= $150,000 - ($10,500 × 7)
= $150,000 - $73,500
= $76,500
Now the depreciation expense for 2017 :
= ($76,500 - $18,000) ÷ (15 - 7) years
= $58,500 ÷ 8 years
= $7,312.50
Livingston Fabrication has created the following aggregate plan for the next five months:
August September October November December
Forecasting demand (units of finished goods)
1,000,000.00 1,000,000.00 2,000,000.00 4,000,000.00 1,000,000.00

Assume that Livingston will have nothing in inventory at the end of July. Livingston employs 500 production assembly workers and it takes one production assembly worker 3 minutes to assemble one unit of finished good. (The unit is complete at that point.) Each production assembly worker can provide 160 hours of assembly time a month without requiring overtime pay.
Livingston wants to complete this plan without working any overtime in assembly. How many additional production assembly workers does Livingston need to hire, in order to accomplish this? When should they be hired?
Using this production plan, how many units will be in inventory at the end of October?
What will the average inventory level be each month?
Answer:
Livingston Fabrication
1. Additional production assembly workers needed = 125
2. They should be hired July ending for August production.
3. 2,000,000 units will be in inventory at the end of October.
4. The average inventory level each month will be 1,200,000 units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
(in thousands) August September October November December
Beginning inventory 0 1,000 2,000 2,000 0
Production plan 2,000 2,000 2,000 2,000 2,000
Forecasting demand
(units of finished goods) 1,000 1,000 2,000 4,000 1,000
Ending inventory 1,000 2,000 2,000 0 1,000
Number of assembly workers employed = 500
Minutes per employee to assemble one unit of finished good = 3
Total hours that each assembly worker can provide per month = 160
Total time provided by each assembly worker in minutes = 9,600 (160*60)
Total units produced by each worker in a month = 3,200 (9,600/3) units
Total units produced by 500 workers = 1,600,000 (3,200 * 500)
Production planned units per month = 2,000,000
Units required to be produced by hiring extra workers = 400,000
Workers required to produce the extra 400,000 units = 125 (400,000/3,200)
Average inventory level each month = Total ending inventory/5
= 6,000/5
= 1,200

Information concerning a product produced by Ender Company appears here: Sales price per unit $ 200 Variable cost per unit $ 80 Total annual fixed manufacturing and operating costs $ 600,000 Required Determine the following: Contribution margin per unit. Number of units that Ender must sell to break even. Sales level in units that Ender must reach to earn a profit of $240,000. Determine the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The contribution margin per unit is
As we know that
Contribution margin per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost
= $200 - $80
= $120
2. The break even sales in units is
= Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $600,000 ÷ $120
= 5,000 units
3. The sales units that earned $240,000 is
Required Sales (in units) = (Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin Per unit
= ($600,000 + $240,000) ÷ $120
= 7,000 units
4. The margin of safety in units, sales dollars & percentage is
The Margin of Safety (in Units)
= Sales - Break even Sales
= (7,000 - 5,000) units
= 2,000 units
The Margin of Safety (in dollars)
= Margin of Safety (in units) × Sale Price
= 2,000 units × $200
= $400,000
Margin Of Safety (in percentage) is
= (Actual Sales - Break even sales) ÷ Actual Sales
= (7,000 units -5,000 units) ÷ 7,000 units
= 28.57%
Crane Company had 190000 shares of common stock, 19000 shares of convertible preferred stock, and $1490000 of 4% convertible bonds outstanding during 2021. The preferred stock is convertible into 39000 shares of common stock. During 2021, Crane paid dividends of $0.80 per share on the common stock and $2 per share on the preferred stock. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of common stock. The net income for 2021 was $590000 and the income tax rate was 30%. Basic earnings per share for 2021 is (rounded to the nearest penny)
Answer:
Basic earnings per share(EPS)=$2.90
Explanation:
Earnings per share is the total earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders divided by the number of units of common stock .
It represents profit per unit of stock unit held by common stock holder investor. The higher, the more profitable and the better.
Earnings per share = Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders / units of common stock
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders= Net income after tax - preference dividend
Net Income 2021= $590,000=
Preference Dividend =$2 × 19,000=$38,000
Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders for 2021=
=$590,000-$38,000=$552,000
Basic Earnings per share=$552,000/190,000 shares=$2.90
Basic earnings per share(EPS)=$2.90
Jenny has a $82,500 basis in her 50 percent partnership interest in the JM Partnership before receiving any distributions. This year JM makes a proportionate operating distribution to Jenny of a parcel of land with an $110,000 fair value and a $89,700 basis to JM. The land is encumbered with a $42,850 mortgage (JM's only liability). What is Jenny's basis in the land and her remaining basis in JM after the distribution
Answer:
$89,700 land basis, $14,225 JM basis.

General Purpose Flexible Manufacturing Dedicated
Equipment System Machine
GPE FMS DM
Annual contracted units 200,000 200,000 200,000
Annual fixed cost $100,000 $200,000 $500,000
Per unit variable cost $15 $14 $13
Which process is best for this contract?
Answer:
FMS
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
For GPE
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $100000
Variable cost (VC) = $15
Now
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 100000 + (200000 × 15)
= 100000 + 3000000
= $3100000
For FMS
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $200000
Variable cost (VC) = $14
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 200000 + (200000 × 14)
= 200000 + 2800000
= $3000000
For DM
Given that
Annual contracted unit(Q) = 200000 units
Fixed cost (FC) = $500000
Variable cost (VC) = $13
Total cost = FC + (Q × VC)
= 500000 + (200000 × 13)
= 500000 + 2600000
= $3100000
So for this type of contract FMS is best as it contains the lowest total cost.
Foods Galore is a major distributor to restaurants and other institutional food users. Foods Galore buys cereal from a manufacturer for $20.00 per case. Annual demand for cereal is 200,000 cases, and the company believes that the demand is constant at 800 cases per day for each of the 250 days per year that it is open for business. Average lead time from the supplier for replenishment orders is eight days, and the company believes that it is also constant. The purchasing agent at Foods Galore believes that annual inventory carrying cost is 10 percent and that it costs $40.00 to place an order.
How many cases of cereal should Foods Galore order each time it places an order? What is the total annual inventory cost if you order based on your Economic Order Quantity? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost). What is the total annual inventory cost if Foods Galore orders 10,000 each order at $18 per case? (Sum of annual product purchasing cost, holding cost, and ordering cost)
Answer:
The appropriate solution is:
(a) 2828 cases each time
(b) $4005656.85
(c) $3609800
Explanation:
The given values are:
Annual demand,
D = 200,000 cases
Per case cost,
C = $20
Carrying host,
H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 20[/tex]
= $[tex]2[/tex]
Ordering cost,
S = $40
(a)
The economic order quantity will be:
⇒ [tex]Q^*=\sqrt{(\frac{2DS}{H} )}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
[tex]=\sqrt{[\frac{(2\times 200000\times 40)}{2} ]}[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{\frac{16000000}{2} }[/tex]
[tex]=2828[/tex]
(b)
According to the question,
The annual ordering cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{D}{Q^*}) S[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{200000}{2828}) 40[/tex]
= [tex]2828.85[/tex] ($)
The annual carrying cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{Q^*}{2})H[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{2828}{2} )2[/tex]
= [tex]2828[/tex] ($)
The annual purchase cost will be:
= [tex]D\times C[/tex]
= [tex]200000\times 20[/tex]
= [tex]4000000[/tex] ($)
Now,
The total inventory cost will be:
= [tex]2828.85+2828+4000000[/tex]
= [tex]4005656.85[/tex] ($)
(c)
According to the question,
Order quantity,
Q = 10000 cases
Per case cost,
C = $18
Carrying cost,
H = [tex]10 \ percent\times 18[/tex]
= [tex]1.8[/tex]
The annual ordering cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{D}{Q} )S[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{200000}{10000} )40[/tex]
= [tex]800[/tex] ($)
The annual carrying cost will be:
= [tex](\frac{Q}{2} )H[/tex]
= [tex](\frac{10000}{2} )1.8[/tex]
= [tex]9000[/tex] ($)
The annual purchase cost will be:
= [tex]D\times C[/tex]
= [tex]200000\times 18[/tex]
= [tex]3600000[/tex]
Now,
The total cost of inventory will be:
= [tex]800+9000+3600000[/tex]
= [tex]3609800[/tex] ($)

Axil Corp. has not tapped the Deutsche mark public debt market because of concern about a likely appreciation of that currency and only wishes to be a floating-rate dollar borrower, which it can be at LIBOR + 1%. Bevel Corp. strongly prefers fixed-rate DM debt, but it must pay 1.5% more than the 6.25% coupon that Axil's DM notes would carry. Bevel, however, can obtain Eurodollars at LIBOR + 1/2%. Show work and explain.
1. What is the maximum possible cost savings to Axil from engaging in acurrency swap with Bevel?
2. What is the maximum possible cost savings to Bevel from engaging in acurrency swap with Axil?
Answer:
2%2%Explanation:
First step : determine total cost experienced in both cases
Total cost experienced by both firms without swap
= Axil floating dollar cost + Bevel fixed DM cost
= Libor + 1% + 7.75% = Libor + 8.75%
Total cost of funds by both firms when they are involved in a swap
= Bevel Floating dollar cost + Axil fixed Dm cost
= Libor + 0.5% + 6.25%
= Libor + 6.75%
1) the maximum possible cost savings to Axil Corp
Libor + 8.75% - Libor + 6.75% = 2%
2) the maximum possible cost savings to Bevel Corp
Libor + 8.75% - Libor + 6.75% = 2%

Explanation:
Suppose that the public holds 50% of the money supply in currency and the reserve requirement is 20%. Banks hold no excess reserves. A customer deposits $6,000 in her checkable deposit. Assume that after receiving the deposit, the bank lends out its excess reserves. When the loan is spent, _____ of the loan will be a checkable deposit and _____ will be held by the public as cash. $6,000; $0
Answer: $2,400; $2,400
Explanation:
If a deposit of $6,000 is made, the reserve requirement is 20% so the bank will have to reserve this amount of:
= 6,000 * 20%
= $1,200
The bank will be left with:
= 6,000 - 1,200
= $4,800
The bank lends all of this out.
The public holds 50% of the currency so they will keep:
= 50% * 4,800
= $2,400

Forever Quilting is a small company that makes quilting kits priced at $120 each. The costs of the materials that go into each kit are $45. It costs $5 in labor to assemble a kit. The company has monthly expenses of $1,000 for rent and insurance, $200 for heat and electricity, $500 for advertising in quilting magazines, and $4500 for the monthly salary of its owner. Last month the company sold 150 kits. What is the total fixed cost associated with producing the quilting kits for one month
Answer:
Total fixed cost= $6,200
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company has monthly expenses of $1,000 for rent and insurance, $200 for heat and electricity, $500 for advertising in quilting magazines, and $4500 for the monthly salary of its owner.
The fixed costs do not change with production levels. Electricity can be seen as a mixed cost (variable and fixed), but we will treat it as a fixed cost.
Total fixed cost= 1,000 + 200 + 500 + 4,500
Total fixed cost= $6,200
Bonita Industries financed the purchase of a machine by making payments of $29000 at the end of each of five years. The appropriate rate of interest was 8%. The future value of one for five periods at 8% is 1.46933. The future value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 5.86660. The present value of an ordinary annuity for five periods at 8% is 3.99271. What was the cost of the machine to Bonita?
Answer:
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of machine to Bonita in today's term, we need to calculate the present value of annuity. We know that the payments made are in form of an ordinary annuity because the amount of payment is fixed (29000) , the payments are made after equal interval of time (at the end of each year) and are made in finite number (5 years).
We will multiply the annuity payment per period by the PV of ordinary annuity factor as provided in the question to calculate the value or price of machine today.
Cost of Machine today = 29000 * 3.99271
Cost of Machine today = $115788.59
Sparkle Metallurgy, Inc. has two service departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and Human Resources cost on the basis of employees. It believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage and employees in each department follow. Square Footage Employees Human Resources 4,000 10 Building Maintenance 10,000 15 Machining 15,000 40 Assembly 21,000 60 Assuming use of the step-down method, which of the following choices correctly denotes the number of square feet and employees over which the Building Maintenance cost and Human Resources cost would be allocated (i.e., spread)?
a. 19,000.
b. 44,000.
c. 50,000.
d. 63,000.
Answer:
B.40,000 square feet
Explanation:
Calculation to correctly denotes the number of square feet and employees over which the Building Maintenance cost and Human Resources cost would be allocated
Employees Human Resources 4,000
Machining 15,000
Assembly 21,000
Number of square feet 40,000
(4,000+15,000+21,000)
Therefore the number of square feet and employees over which the Building Maintenance cost and Human Resources cost would be allocated is 40,000

Answer:
The amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.
Therefore, the correct answer is b.$12,900.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Jordan Johnson is single and has adjusted gross income of $50,000 in the current year. Additional information is as follows:
State income taxes paid $2,000
Mortgage interest on her personal residence 9,000
Points paid on purchase of her personal residence 1,000
Deductible contributions to her IRA 3,000
Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) 6,000
Tax preparation fees for her prior year income tax return 400
What amount may Jordan claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return?
a.$12,000
b.$12,900
c.$13,300
d.$15,900
b. $12,900.
Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The allowable deduction for personal casualty loss that occurs in a Federal disaster area has a limit to the amount by which it is higher than $100 floor and 10% of AGI which is calculated as follows:
Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) - $100 = $6,000 - $100 = $5,900
Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $5,900 - ($50,000 * 10%) = $900
Therefore, we have:
Itemized deductions for the current year = State income taxes paid + Mortgage interest on her personal residence + Points paid on purchase of her personal residence + Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $2,000 + $9,000 + $1,000 + $900 = $12,900
Therefore, the amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.
The correct answer is b.$12,900.
Discuss the notion of conservation of risk, the reduction of risk in one area is offset by increased risk in another area. As the firm makes capital structure changes, the total risk remains the same. Explain the effect on the cost of equity with the addition of leverage, does the cost of equity increase, decrease or remain constant? Why? What is the impact to the weighted cost of capital does it increase, decrease or remain constant? Why?
Answer:
Part 1
remain constant, costs from different sources
Part 2
decreases, Leverage has a tax shield due to a deduction allowed for interest
Explanation:
Debt is another term used for Leverage. Addition of leverage does not affect the cost of equity. Cost of equity and cost of debt are costs from different sources
However, Leverage has a tax shield due to a deduction allowed for interest. Therefore as more debt is used, the cost of capital decreases. So weighted average cost of capital calculates costs from pooled resources
Crane, Inc. manufactures two products: missile range instruments and space pressure gauges. During April, 50 range instruments and 200 pressure gauges were produced, and overhead costs of $72,750 were estimated. An analysis of estimated overhead costs reveals the following activities. Activities Cost Drivers Total Cost 1. Materials handling Number of requisitions $30,000 2. Machine setups Number of setups 23,750 3. Quality inspections Number of inspections 19,000 $72,750 The cost driver volume for each product was as follows. Cost Drivers Instruments Gauges Total Number of requisitions 375 625 1,000 Number of setups 175 300 475 Number of inspections 225 250 475
Answer:
Requirement: Determine the overhead rate for each activity "Materials handling, Machine setups, Quality inspections"
Materials handling overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Materials handling overhead rate = $30,000 / 1,000
Materials handling overhead rate = $30
Machine setups overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Machine setups overhead rate = $23,750 / 475
Machine setups overhead rate = $50
Quality inspections overhead rate = Total cost / Cost driver volume
Quality inspections overhead rate = $19,000 / 475
Quality inspections overhead rate = $40
Highgrove Industries must decide which process technology to adopt, given the information below. Cost Technology A Technology B Technology C Price per unit $3 $3 $3 Fixed costs per year $80,000 $120,000 $130,000 Variable costs per unit $2.20 $1.85 $1.65 Which one of the process technologies would you recommend they adopt if the expected demand is 100,000 units
Answer:
Technology C
Explanation:
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable cost * (Number of Units)
Total Cost for Technology A = $80000 + $2.20*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology A = $300,000
Total Cost for Technology B = $120,000 + $1.85*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology B = $305,000
Total Cost for Technology C = $130,000 + $1.65*(100,000 units)
Total Cost for Technology C = $195,000
Conclusion: The minimum total cost for 100,000 Unit is for process technology C, Hence this technology would be recommended
Exercise 11-15 Dropping or Retaining a Segment [LO11-2] Thalassines Kataskeves, S.A., of Greece makes marine equipment. The company has been experiencing losses on its bilge pump product line for several years. The most recent quarterly contribution format income statement for the bilge pump product line follows: Thalassines Kataskeves, S.A. Income Statement—Bilge Pump For the Quarter Ended March 31 Sales $ 850,000 Variable expenses: Variable manufacturing expenses $ 330,000 Sales commissions 42,000 Shipping 18,000 Total variable expenses 390,000 Contribution margin 460,000 Fixed expenses: Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) 270,000 Depreciation of equipment (no resale value) 80,000 General factory overhead 105,000 * Salary of product-line manager 32,000 Insurance on inventories 8,000 Purchasing department 45,000 † Total fixed expenses 540,000 Net operating loss $ (80,000 ) *Common costs allocated on the basis of machine-hours. †Common costs allocated on the basis of sales dollars. Discontinuing the bilge pump product line would not affect sales of other product lines and would have no effect on the company’s total general factory overhead or total Purchasing Department expenses. Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line?
Answer:
-$150,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line
First step is to calculate the fixed expense
Using this formula
Fixed expense
= Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) + Salary of product-line manager + Insurance on inventories
Let plug in the formula
Fixed expense= 270,000 + 32,000 + $8,000
Fixed expense= $310,000
Now let calculate the financial advantage (disadvantage)
Using this formula
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = Fixed expense-Contribution margin
Let plug in the formula
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = $310,000-460,000
Financial advantage (disadvantage) = -$150,000
Therefore the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line is -$150,000
The following income statements are provided for Li Company's last two years of operation: Year 1 Year 2 Number of units produced and sold 4,500 4,100 Sales revenue $ 69,750 $ 63,550 Cost of goods sold 41,700 38,000 Gross margin 28,050 25,550 General, selling, and administrative expenses 17,500 16,300 Net income $ 10,550 $ 9,250 Assuming that cost behavior did not change over the two-year period, what is Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2?
Answer:
$13,325
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2
First step is to calculate the Variable cost per unit
Using this formula
Variable cost per unit = Change in costs ÷ Change in activity Cost of goods sold
Let plug in the formula
Variable cost per unit = (41,700 − 38,000) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =3,700/400
Variable cost per unit = $9.25 per unit
Second step is to calculate the Selling and administrative expense
Variable cost per unit = (17,500- 16,300) ÷ (4,500 units − 4,100 units)
Variable cost per unit =1,200/400 units
Variable cost per unit = $3.00 per unit
Now let calculate the Contribution margin in Year 2
Using this formula
Contribution margin = Sales revenue − Variable costs
Let plug in the formula
Contribution margin= $ 63,550 − [4,100 units × ($9.25 per unit + $3.00 per unit)]
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-(4,100 units×$12.25)
Contribution margin=$ 63,550-$50,225
Contribution margin = $13,325
Therefore Li Company's contribution margin in Year 2 is $13,325

Depreciation base $
Entry field with incorrect answer now contains modified data
Answer:
$26,300
Explanation:
Depreciation Base is the total amount charged to expenses over an asset's useful life.
In Straight line method of Depreciation:
Depreciation Base = (Cost of Asset - Salvage Value)
Cost of Asset $28,000 + $200 + $125 + $500 + $475
Cost of Asset = $29,300
Depreciable Base = $29,300 - $3,000
Depreciable Base = $26,300
