Staley Co. manufactures computer monitors. The following is a summary of its basic cost and revenue data: Per Unit Percent Sales price $480 100 Variable costs 312 65 Unit contribution margin $168 35 Assume that Staley Co. is currently selling 600 computer monitors per month and monthly fixed costs are $80,000. Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be (round intermediate calculation up to nearest whole number of units): 79.5%. 19.5%. 33.4%. 17.7%. 20.5%.

Answer:

20.5%

Explanation:

Calculation for what Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be

First step is to calculate Break-even amount

Break-even = $80,000/($480-$312)

Break-even= 476.19

Break-even= 477 approximately

Second step is to calculate the Margin of Safety

Margin of Safety = 600-477

Margin of Safety= 123

Now let calculate the margin of safety ratio

Margin of safety ratio=123/600

Margin of safety ratio=20.5%

Therefore Staley Co.'s margin of safety ratio (MOS%) if 600 units are sold would be 20.5%

The management of Krach Corporation would like to investigate the possibility of basing its predetermined overhead rate on activity at capacity. The company's controller has provided an example to illustrate how this new system would work. In this example, the allocation base is machine-hours and the estimated amount of the allocation base for the upcoming year is 13,000 machine-hours. Capacity is 19,000 machine-hours and the actual level of activity for the year is assumed to be 9500 machine-hours. All of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and both the estimated amount at the beginning of the year and the actual amount at the end of the year are assumed to be $22,800 per year. For simplicity, it is assumed that this is the estimated manufacturing overhead for the year as well as the manufacturing overhead at capacity. It is further assumed that this is also the actual amount of manufacturing overhead for the year. If the company bases its predetermined overhead rate on capacity, what would be the cost of unused capacity reported on the income statement prepared for internal management purposes
