JulijaS [17]

Answer:

1,875 units.

Explanation:

Break-even is the point where a company neither generate profit not make loss, or we can say that it the sales at which the operating profit will be zero. It can be calculated for sales volume as-well-as dollar sales. Let's prepare a contribution income statement to calculate the break-even sales in quantity. We know that:

EBIT / Operating Profit = (SP * Q) - (VC * Q) - Fixed Cost

where

SP = Selling Price

Q = Quantity / Units

VC = Variable cost

As it is understood that the operating profit at break-even is zero, simply put it in the above contribution income statements along with other figures given in the question.

⇒ 0 = (20 * Q) - (12 * Q) - 15,000

OR 15,000 / (20 - 12) = Q

⇒ Break-even units = Q = 1,875 units.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The answer is:

A. Yes

B. 3.6

C. 3.43

Explanation:

A. Yes, the warrants is dilutive because the average market price($15) is higher than option price($10).

B. Since there is no preferred shares or preferred dividends, the basic earnings per share is:

Net income ÷ weighted average shares

= $360,000 ÷ 100,000 shares

= 3.6

C. First we need to find the incremental shares. The formula is:

[(average market price - option price) ÷ average market price]x number of shares

[($15 - $10) ÷ $15] x 15,000 shares

$0.33333 * 15,000 shares

5,000 shares

Total number of shares is now 105,000shares(100,000 shares + 5,000)

Therefore, diluted shares is now

$360,000 ÷ 105,000 shares

3.43

Answer:

Check the answers below

Explanation:

The per instrument cost of the bank is $0.25. Assuming uniform cheque value, the 24 million remittances across 10000 cheque will mean per cheque value of 2400. If this amount can be invested at 8% p.a., then daily investment income will be approx = 2400 * 8% /365 = $ 0.526

Now for the company to jus about cover the cost of the cheque processing, the time should reduce by (assuming fractional time in days is possible) 0.25/0.526 = 0.48 days

Now if the interest that can be earned reduces to 4%, the average daily interest will also reduce to $0.263. At this level, the time required to cover the cost should reduce by 0.95 days

The difference is simply because the opportunity cost in terms of alternate usage of funds has decreased for the company.

monitta

Answer:

$9.05

Explanation:

the information about prices and costs is missing, so I looked it up:

contribution margin per yard for silk = $18 - $4.10 - $2.70 - $3.51 - $0.90 = $6.79

contribution margin per yard for polyester = $10.20 - $0.80 - $2.90 - $3.77 - $0.60 = $2.13

contribution margin per machine hour:

silk = $6.79 x 1/0.75 = $9.05

polyester = $2.13 x 1/0.5 = $4.16
