Curtis Brown admired his wife's success at selling scarves at local crafts shows, so he decided to make two types of plant stands to sell at the shows. Curtis makes twig stands out of downed wood from his backyard and the yards of his neighbors, so his variable cost is minimal (wood screws, glue, and so forth). However, Curtis has to purchase wood to make his oak plant stands. His unit prices and costs are as follows: Twig Stands
Oak Stands
Sales price. . . . . . . . . . . . .Twig Stands $14.00 Oak Stands $32.00
Variable cost. . . . . . . . . . . Twig Stands $2.50 Oak Stands $8.00

The twig stands are more popular, so Curtis sells four twig stands for every one oak stand. Gabby charges her husband $ 490 to share her booth at the craft shows (after all, she has paid the entrance fees). How many of each plant stand does Curtis need to sell to breakeven? Will this affect the number of scarves Gabby needs to sell to breakeven? Explain.

Determine how many of each plant stand Curtis needs to sell to breakeven. Begin by computing the weighted-average contribution margin per unit. First identify the formula labels, then complete the calculations step by step.
Twig Oak Total
Sale price per unit $ 14.00 $32.00
Less: Variable cost per unit $ 2.50 $ 8.00
Contribution margin per unit $ 11.50 $ 24.00
Sales mix 4 1 5
Contribution margin $ 46.00 $ 24.00 $70.00
Weighted average contribution margin per unit $ 14.00

Next determine the formula to compute the breakeven sales in units. (Abbreviations used: Avg. = average and CM = contribution margin.)

(Fixed expenses + Operating income) / Weighed-avg. CM per unit = Breakeven sales in units

Determine how many of each plant stands Curtis needs to sell to breakeven.
Breakeven sales of twig stands is units.
Breakeven sales of oak stands is units.

Sauer food company has decided to buy a new computer system with an expected life of three years. the cost is $440,000. the company can borrow $440,000 for three years at 14 percent annual interest or for one year at 12 percent annual interest. assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year. a. how much would sauer food company save in interest over the three-year life of the computer system if the one-year loan is utilized and the loan is rolled over (reborrowed) each year at the same 12 percent rate? compare this to the 14 percent three-year loan.

(credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. do not indent manually. record journal entries in the order presented in the problem. if no entry is required, select "no entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)3.) post the march journal entries to the ledger. (post entries in the order of journal entries presented in the previous question.)
