Answer:

The Break-even point in units will increase by 250 units.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $25,000

Selling price= $55

Unitary varaible cost= $30

<u>First, we need to calculate the current break-even point in units:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 25,000 / 25

Break-even point in units= 1,000

<u>Now, the new Break-even point in units:</u>

Break-even point in units= 25,000 / (55 - 35)

Break-even point in units= 1,250

The Break-even point in units will increase by 250 units.

  •     Cr Cash 900

Dec. 31. Recorded depreciation on the truck for the fiscal year. The estimated useful life of the truck is four years, with a residual value of $4,000 for the truck.

Depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x $24,000 = $12,000

  • Dr Depreciation expense 12,000
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 12,000

<u>Year 2 </u>

  • Dr Maintenance expenses - Truck 250
  •     Cr Cash 250

Apr. 30. Sold the used truck for $9,500. (Record depreciation to date in Year 2 for the truck.)

depreciation expense = 2 x 0.25 x 4/12 x $12,000 = $2,000

  • Dr Depreciation expense 2,000
  •     Cr Accumulated depreciation - truck 2,000

truck sold at $9,500 - $10,000 (carrying value) = -$500 loss on sale

  • Dr Cash 9,500
  • Dr Accumulated depreciation 14,000
  • Dr Loss on sale - truck 500
  •     Cr Truck 24,000

Dec. 31. Record depreciation for the new truck. It has an estimated residual value of $12,000 and an estimated life of eight years.

  • Dr Depreciation expense 6,250

NeTakaya

Answer:

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94

Explanation:

<em>The Future value (FV) of an investment is the total amount (principal plus interest) that will accumulate in the future where interest is paid and compounded at a particular rate per period for a certain number of periods.</em>

This can be done using the formula below

FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)

FV- Future Value

PV- amount invested, n- number of years, r - interest rate

The amount due after 19 years would be determined in two steps

Step 1: FV of 24,500 at 5.5% for 8 years

FV = 24,500× (1+0.055)^8 =37,599.819

Step 2 : FV of 37599.81962  invested for 11 years at 4.9% p.a

FV = ?  P=37,599.81,  n- 11, r- 4.9%

FV = 37,599.81 × (1.049)^11= 63,637.94

Future value at the end of 19 years =$63,637.94
