...ACCT310 - 1304B – 07 Andre’s Hair Styling American Intercontinental University Online December 1, 2013 ABSTRACT The following information is going to contain information from Andre’s hair styling. The information is going to detail the contribution margin, the annual break-even point, as well as the operating income. Fixed costs consist of the barbers so to figure that out we must take their nine dollars and ninety cents an hour that they are paid and multiply that by the barbers forty hour work week and then multiply that by the fifty weeks that they work a year and then again multiply by the five different barbers that are working at Andre’s Hair Styling; we then get ninety-nine thousand dollars as the outcome. ($9.90*40 hours a week*50 weeks a year* 5 barbers) = $99,000 which added together is one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Other expenses for Andre’s Hair Styling consists of the remaining fixed costs per month which is one thousand seven hundred and fifty and then multiply that by twelve months and we get twenty-one thousand dollars a year for other fixed expenses. ($1,750 fixed expenses * 12 months in a year) = $ 21,000 Now that we have done all of that calculations to begin answering the questions at hand we will go from 1-4. 1. The first task is to find the contribution margin per hair cut at the same time assuming that the barber’s compensation is a fixed cost. So we take the following in mind. Andre’s hair styling is charging twelve dollars...

...Financial Analysis Barber Shop Andrea Mitchell | Abstract Andre’s Hair Styling has asked me to find calculations on evaluating his business. By assuming the fixed cost, contribution cost, fixe expenses, and operating cost. I will perform an evaluation on the total cost that will be needed to determining a correct operational cost. Andre’s Hair Styling is requiring the findings of fixed cost of haircutting and the expenses of one service that they perform. The service consists of haircuts and shampoos together. The contribution margin is $12.40. This includes hair cutting and shampoo. The total fixed expenses = Barbers Salaries+ Annual Rate. This came up to $210.099 rounded off to $211,000. The Barbers Salaries= number of barbers x wages per hour x number of hours per week x number of work weeks a year = 9.90x5 x40x50=$99,000. Annual rent = $21,000(monthly rent x 12). For the business to break even the salon would make $100,750. This is calculated by $.040 x 12 years ($99,000 +$1,750). The annual number of haircuts would be 8,125. ($100,750/ $12.40=$8,125) Each barber would have to do 1,625 per year or 32.50 per day 6.5 cuts per week. To revise the compensation method at $4per hour and $6 for the haircut the new contribution margin per hair cut would be $6. The annual rate would be $4000. The total fixed expenses would be$40,000. (4x 5 x40 x50) Annual Rent = $21,000(monthly...

Managerial Accounting Contribution margin is the quantity of profits per merchandise that is accessible to “contribute” which goes towards the fixed expenses and/or the revenue of the business. In view of the facts that for digital item for consumption, the variable rate are naturally extremely small, or next to zero, the majority of the profits earned from the transaction of a manufactured goods from the payment margin. Presumptuous the contribution margin (unit price – unit variable cost) > 0, at that time the manufactured goods is worth selling, now that the fixed cost has been sunk. This in addition assumes the creation does not cannibalize sales from any other product in the product column, so if the price need to be carefully considered. Contribution Margin = Unit Price – Unit Variable Cost Break Even Analysis is the calculated to establish to see the amount of product a business has to put on the market in order to break even on that manufactured goods.

...American InterContinental University Planning & Budgeting – Contribution Margin ACCT310-1302B-06 7/7/2013 Consider the following scenario: Andre has asked you to evaluate his business, Andre’s Hair Styling. Andre has five barbers working for him. (Andre is not one of them.) Each barber is paid $9.90 per hour and works a 40-hour week and a 50-week year, regardless of the number of haircuts. Rent and other fixed expenses are $1,750 per month. Hair shampoo used on all clients is .40 per client. Assume that the only service performed is the giving of haircuts (including shampoo), the unit price of which is $12. Andre has asked you to find the following information. 1. Find the contribution margin per haircut. Assume that the barbers' compensation is a fixed cost. Show calculations to support your answer. Formula: Cost of haircut – variable cost (shampoo) = contribution margin $12 - $.40 = $ 11.6 Contribution Margin 2. Determine the annual break-even point, in number of haircuts. Support your answer with an appropriate explanation. Show calculations to support your answer. The break-even point is going to be the point in which your gains are equal to your losses. Anything past this point is profit for your business. Formula: Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin = Break-even Point 5 (employees) * $9.90 * 40 * 50 = $99,000 + 1750 (monthly costs) * 12 (months) = $120,000 120,000 / 11.6 = 10,334.83 Haircuts are needed to break even 3.

...The contribution margin per haircut at Andre’s Hair Styling is $11.60. To arrive at this total, we must know how compute the contribution margin. The contribution margin is the sales price per unit minus the total variable cost per unit (Wild & Shaw, 2012). In this case, the sales price per unit is the price of each haircut, which is $12.00 per head. The variable cost per unit is the cost of the shampoo per head, which is .40 cent per head. The formula is: $12 - $0.40 = $11.60. The contribution margin ratio is 0.9666 or 96.66%. To obtain this number, you must divide the contribution margin per unit by the sale price per unit. The formula is: $11.60 / $12.00 = 0.9996. The Annual Break Even Point, in the number of haircuts will be 10,345 haircuts. To arrive at this total, we must first determine the fix cost of the operation. In this case the fix cost is the annual salary of the five barbers and the annual rent of the business (Wild $ Shaw, 2012). The salary of the barbers is $9.90 an hour, times 40 hours a week, times 50 weeks a year, equaling $99,000 annually. The rent is $1750 a month, time 12 months, equaling $21,000 annually. The formula for fix cost is: $99,000 + $21,000 = $120,000. To get the annual break-even point we must divide the fix cost by the contribution margin (Wild & Shaw, 2012). The formula will be $120,000 / $11.60 = 10,345 cuts. The operating income for the barber shop if 20,000 haircuts are performed will be $112,000. The operating income is...

Concept Definition Cost a. Costs directly related to a cost object Opportunity cost b. A sacrifice of resources Expense c. Costs not directly related to a cost object Cost Object d.

PREFACE Rationale We agreed to produce the instructor’s manual for the sixth edition of A First Look at Communication Theory because it’s a first-rate book and because we enjoy talking and writing about pedagogy. Yet when we recall the discussions we’ve had with colleagues about instructor’s manuals over the years, two unnerving comments stick with us: “I don’t find them much help”; and (even worse) “I never look at them.” And, if the truth be told, we were often the people making such points! With these statements in mind, we have done some serious soul-searching about the texts that so many teachers—ourselves...
