Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: B) False credits / discounts are the scheme of using false credits or discounts to disguise theft of revenue.

Answer to Question 2

1a. SP = 10 1,300 = 130 per ticket
VCU = 34 per ticket
CMU = 130 34 = 96 per ticket
FC = 36,000 a month

Q = =

= 375 tickets

1b. Q = =

=
= 500 tickets

2a. SP = 130 per ticket
VCU = 30 per ticket
CMU = 130 30 = 100 per ticket
FC = 36,000 a month

Q = =

= 360 tickets

2b. Q = =

=
= 480 tickets

3a. SP = 46 per ticket
VCU = 30 per ticket
CMU = 46 30 = 16 per ticket
FC = 36,000 a month

Q = =
= 2,250 tickets

3b. Q = =

=

= 3,000 tickets

The reduced commission sizably increases the breakeven point and the number of tickets required to yield a target operating income of 12,000:

10
Commission Fixed
(Requirement 2) Commission of 60
Breakeven point 360 2,250
Attain OI of 12,000 480 3,000

4a. The 8 delivery fee can be treated as either an extra source of revenue (as done below) or as a cost offset. Either approach increases CMU 8:

SP = 54 (46 + 8) per ticket
VCU = 30 per ticket
CMU = 54 30 = 24 per ticket
FC = 36,000 a month

Q = =

= 1,500 tickets

4b. Q = =

=

= 2,000 tickets

The 8 delivery fee results in a higher contribution margin, which reduces both the breakeven point and the tickets sold to attain operating income of 12,000.
