Beta Company expects to incur overhead costs of $20,000 per month and direct production costs of $125 per unit. The estimated pr

mina [271]

Answer:

$415

Explanation:

For computing the sales per unit first we have to determine the total sales value which is shown below:

Direct Production costs (1,000 units × $125) $125,000

Fixed Overhead costs for the year = $20,000 × 12 months = $240,000

Total Costs for the year $365,000

Gross Profit desired (1,000 units × $50) $50,000

Total Sales Value desired = Costs + Profit $415,000

Now

Sales price per unit is

= $415,000 ÷ 1,000 units

= $415

This is the answer but the same is not provided

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

Au Sable Corporation reported taxable income of $760,000 in year 2 and paid federal income taxes of $176,500. Not included in th

butalik [34]

Answer:

$726,500

Explanation:

The computation of current earnings and profits for year 2 is shown below:-

current earnings and profits for year 2 = Profit as per Income Tax - Penalty disallowed + Life insurance proceed - Tax Expenses

= $760,000 - $42,000 + $185,000 - $176,500

= $945,000 - $42,000 - $176,500

= $726,500

Therefore we have applied the above formula to reach out the current earnings and profits for year 2.

What methods may an economist use to test a hypothesis? A. Wait for real-world events to confirm or refute the hypothesis. B. Co

Scrat [10]

Answer:

A. Wait for real-world events to confirm or refute the hypothesis.

B. Conduct one or more experiments.

Explanation:

Hypothesis by economists can lead to results that can decide economic policy. As such, it is important that they are tried and tested.

One way of testing a hypothesis is the standard method of conducting one of more experiments. These experiments will simulate world settings so that the experiment can be as close as possible to the real world.

Another method is to experience the hypothesis. The economist could just wait for events in the real world to either confirm or deny the hypothesis because the economy is dynamic and has been known to react uniquely to events that it otherwise should not have reacted to. It is therefore likely that it might react in a certain way that will enable the economist test their hypothesis.
