Answer:

<u>Night Lights $ per unit  2.13</u>

<u>Desk Lamps $ per unit 8.50</u>

Determine total number of budgeted direct labour hours for the year

total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year is calculated

= night lamp labor hours + desk lamp labor hours

= 30000 + 160000

= 190000

calculated the single plant wide factory overhead rate

factory overhead rate = total factory overhead / total number of budgeted unit

= 807500 / 190000

= 4.25 per labour hour

calculate factory overhead cost per each unit

night lamp = 4.25 * 1/2

= 2.13 per unit

desk lamp = 4.25 * 2

= 8.50 per unit

According to the​ Break-Even EBIT​ analysis, shareholders are​ ____ off with debt when EBIT is​ _____ the​ Break-Even EBIT level
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Answer B.

Explanation:

EBIT break even point is a situation when company does not make a profit or has loss. It is a point where earnings per share are equal to zero. It is the level of ebit equal to fixed costs for the company, like interest on the debt. If this break even point increases, this leads to the increase of financial risk. However, increase of ebit above break even point leads to net income calculated as EBIT*(1-interest expense)*(1-tax rate)-preferred dividends being higher.

Manny and Irene will be retiring in fifteen years and would like to buy a Mexican villa. The villa costs​ $500,000 today, and ho
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Annual deposit= $37,714.37

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The villa costs​ $500,000 today, and housing prices in Mexico are expected to increase by​ 6% per year. Manny and Irene want to make fifteen equal annual payments into an​ account, starting​ today, so there will be enough money to purchase the villa in fifteen years.

The account earns​ 10% per​ year.

First, we need to calculate the final value of the house with the following formula.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 500,000*(1.06^15)=$1,198,279.1

Now, we can calculate the annual payments required:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (1,198,279.1*0.10)/[(1.10^15)-1]

A= $37,714.37
