Answer: lower than under absorption costing

Explanation:Product costs under variable costing are usually lower due to the composition of the cost calculation.

Under variable costing, the cost elements are direct material, direct labour and variable overheads while under the absorption costing method the cost calculation will include direct materials, direct labour, variable overheads and fixed overheads.

simply put is to say that variable costing calculation is lower than absorption costing calculation because absorption costing calculation includes fixed overheads while variable costing calculation does not.

Suppose a foreign investor who holds tax-exempt Eurobonds paying 10.50% is considering investing in an equivalent-risk domestic

timurjin [86]

Answer:

14.58%

Explanation:

Return on Bond is the actual rate that is received by an investor on investment in bond.

As per given data

After Tax return = 10.50%

Tax Rate = 28%

Deduction of 28% withholding tax will be made on the return of the bond in that country where investment is made and investor will have return net of tax.

We can calculate the after tax return on the bond as follow

After tax return = Before tax return x ( 1 - Tax rate )

10.5% = Before tax return x ( 1 - 28% )

0.105 = Before tax return x ( 1 - 0.28 )

0.105 = Before tax return x 0.72

Before tax return = 0.105 / 0.72

Before tax return = 0.1458 = 14.58%

Break-even sales (units) = 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = $1,920,000

Part d

See attachment

Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

Margin of safety in % = (Expected Sales - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00
