Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125

Explanation:

To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.

The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.

For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,

= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)

= $4,285.71

For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,

= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5

= $4,125

The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.

Vilas Company is considering a capital investment of $190,900 in additional production facilities. The new machinery is expected
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

For payback period we use,

Payback = Initial outlay / Annual cash flow

Payback = 190,900/49,900 = 3.82 years

Annual rate of return is calculated as follows,

Annual rate of return = Average profit / Initial outlay *100%

Annual Rate of return = 11600/190,900) *100% = 6.08%

To calculate the NPV we discount the cash flows.

12% annuity factor for 5 years = 3.6048

PV of cash flows = 49,900*3.6048 = $179,879.52

NPV = 179879.52 - 190,900 = -$11,020.48  (negative)

Hope that helps.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Since in the given situation there is a depreciation method change i.e. from the straight-line method to double-declining method so there would be no impact restrospectively.

Hence, there would be no cumulative impact as it creates the impact prospectively

So the impact would be zero

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The balance in stockholders' equity at the end of year 2 is $31,000

Explanation:

For computing the balance in stockholder equity at the end of year 2, first, we have to compute the balance for year 1  which is shown below:

Year 1 equity balance = Issue of stock + Net income

                                     = $20,000 + $5,000

                                     = $25,000

Now, year 2 balance would equal to

= Year 1 balance + Net income - Dividend paid

= $25,000 + $10,000 - $4,000

= $31,000

Hence, the balance in stockholders' equity at the end of year 2 is $31,000

You are evaluating a project that will cost $500,000, but is expected to produce cash flows of $125,000 per year for 10 years, w
boyakko [2]

Answer:

1. 4 years

2. No

Explanation:

Payback period calculates the amount of time to recoup the total investment made on a project. It calculates how long the cash flows generated from a project would cover the cost of the project.

The cost of the project is $500,000

Cash flows are $125,000 per year for 10 years.

In the first year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $375,000.

In the second year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $250,000.

In the third year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $125,000.

In the fourth year, the cost of the project is reduced by $125,000 and becomes $0.

The cost of the project is totally recouped in the 4th year. therefore, the payback period is 4 years.

But the company has a preferred payback period of 3 years ,therefore , the firm won't undertake the project because the payback period is more than 3 years.

Which would likely require a cost development using reproduction cost?
Minchanka [31]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:  Manufactured dwelling implies a trailer, a camper van or perhaps an engineered residence. It relates to a formation, portable in one or maybe more parts, that is built on a continuous frame and, when linked to the necessary services, is intended to be used even without a perpetual structure.

In simple words, Manufactured accommodation (usually referred to as U.S. mobile homes) is a form of precast concrete accommodation that is primarily constructed in manufacturing plants and then transferred to use locations. Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is C.
