AICPA Exam CPA-Business Topic 2 Question 90 Discussion
Topic #: 2
Lewis, Clark, and Beal entered into a written agreement to form a partnership. The agreement required that the partners make the following capital contributions: Lewis, $40,000, Clark, $30,000, and Beal, $10,000. It was also agreed that in the event the partnership experienced losses in excess of available capital, Beal would contribute additional capital to the extent of the losses. The partnership agreement was otherwise silent about division of profits and losses. Which of the following statements is correct?
Choice 'c' is correct. A shortcut computation for operating leverage is the ratio of fixed costs to variable costs. If total cost is $100,000 and variable cost is 40% of total costs (or $40,000), then fixed costs must be 60% (or $60,000). Operating leverage is then calculated as follows:
$60,000/$40,000 = 1.5
Choice 'a' is incorrect. .4 is obtained by dividing $100,000 into the variable cost of $40,000.
Choice 'b' is incorrect. .6 is obtained by dividing total costs into fixed costs.
Choice 'd' is incorrect. 2.5 is obtained by dividing total costs by variable costs.
