Using the following figures, calculate the break-even point for The Green Café: Fixed
costs = $52,000; variable costs = $85,000; total sales = $210,000.
A. $86,666.66
B. $113,333.33
C. $130,000.00
D. $473,000.00 - Answers-The correct answer is A.
Break-even point in sales = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Total sales
Contribution margin = Total sales - Variable costs
To figure out the break-even point in this question:
1. Determine contribution margin
$210,000- $85,000= $125,000
2. Determine contribution ratio
$125,000/$210,000=.595
Round this figure to .60
3. Determine break-even point
$52,000/.60=$86,666.66

A recipe requires 1¾ cup quick-cooking tapioca. Tapioca is purchased in twelve 8-oz
boxes in a case and costs $41.88 per case. Three cups of quick-cooking tapioca weighs
1 lb. What is the recipe cost for tapioca?
, A. $2.33
B. $4.07
C. $5.24
D. $6.98 - Answers-The correct answer is B.
One case of tapioca contains 12 8 oz boxes for a total of 6 lb (12 boxes x 0.5 lb = 6 lb).
To calculate the price per pound, divide the total cost of the case $41.88 by 6 lb to get
$6.98 per lb. Then you will find the price per cup knowing that 3 cups of tapioca weighs
1 lb. To get the price per cup, divide $6.98 by 3 cups to get $2.33 per cup. Finally, to get
the price for 1¾ cups, multiply $2.33 per cup by 1.75 to get $4.07.

Upon quarterly audit, the accountant found an error: The beginning inventory for the
month of January was overstated. How would this affect the cost of goods sold (COGS)
and net income for the month of January?
A. The COGS for January would be more than it actually was, and the net income would
be less than it actually was.
B. The COGS for January would be less than it actually was, and the net income would
be less than it actually was.
C. The COGS for January would be more than it actually was, and the net income
would be more than it actually was.
D. The COGS for January would not be affected, and the net income for February would
be less than it actually was. - Answers-The correct answer is A.
Beginning inventory serves as the basis for calculations of cost of goods purchased to
meet production needs, the resulting cost of goods sold, and, consequently, the net
income of the facility. Beginning with an overstated figure will appear as if the cost of
goods sold was higher (adding the higher beginning inventory figure to the actual
purchases made to meet production needs). This will also result in the appearance that
it cost more to produce what was sold and therefore net income was lower.
