Canton Corp. produces a part using an expensive proprietary machine that can only be leased. The leasing company offers two cont

racts. The first (unit-rate lease) is one where Canton would pay $4 per unit produced, regardless of the number of units. The second lease option (flat-rate lease) is one where Canton would pay $60,000 per month, regardless of the number produced. The lease will run one year and the lease option chosen cannot be changed during the lease. All other lease terms are the same.
The part sells for $40 per unit and unit variable cost (excluding any machine lease costs) are $20. Monthly fixed costs (excluding any machine lease costs) are $200,000.


a. What is the monthly break-even level assuming:

1. The unit-rate lease?
2. The flat-rate lease?
b. At what volume would the operating profit be the same regardless of the lease option chosen?

c. Assume monthly volume of 20,000 units. What is the operating leverage assuming:

1. The unit-rate lease?
2. The flat-rate lease?
d. Assume monthly volume of 20,000 units. What is the margin of safety percentage assuming:

1. The unit-rate lease?
2. The flat-rate lease?

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

1. Unit rate lease

Unit Contribution margin = Unit Selling price – Unit Variable cost

= 40 - 24 =  $16

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= 200,000/16  = 12,500

2. Flat rate lease

Unit Contribution margin = Unit Selling price – Unit Variable cost

= 40 - 20  = $20

Break even point (units) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= 260,000/20  = 13,000

b.)

Let at X units produced profit margin is same under both the lease options

40X - 24X - 200,000 = 40X - 20X - 260,000

16X - 200,000 = 20X - 260,000

4X = 60,000

X = 15,000

If 15,000 units are produced, profit margin will be same under both the lease options.

c)

1. Unit rate lease

Contribution margin income statement

Sales (20,000 x 40)  800,000

Variable cost (20,000 x 24)  - 480,000

Contribution margin  320,000

Fixed cost  - 200,000

Operating income  120,000

Operating leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income

= 320,000/120,000  = 2.67

2. Flat rate lease

Contribution margin income statement

Sales (20,000 x 40)  800,000

Variable cost (20,000 x 20)  - 400,000

Contribution margin  400,000

Fixed cost  - 260,000

Operating income  140,000

Operating leverage = Contribution margin/Operating income

= 400,000/140,000  = 2.86

d)

1. Unit rate lease

Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break even sales

= 20,000 x 40 - 12,500 x 40

= 800,000 - 500,000

= $300,000

Margin of safety (%) = Margin of safety/Actual sales

= 300,000/800,000  = 37.5%

2. Flat rate lease

Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break even sales

= 20,000 x 40 - 13,000 x 40

= 800,000 - 520,000

= $280,000

Margin of safety (%) = Margin of safety/Actual sales

= 280,000/800,000  

= 35%

The following data is available for Everest Company:
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

a. Current ratio = Total current assets / Total current liabilities = $366 / $226 = 1.62 to 1

b. Average receivable = (Beginning receivables + Ending receivables) / 2 = ($156 + $160) / 2 = $158

Average collection period = Number of days in year / Credit sales * Average accounts receivable = 365 / $1,702 * $158 = 33.88 days

 

c. Average Stockholder's equity =   (Beginning equity + Ending equity) / 2 = ($500 + $550) / 2 = $525

Return on stockholder's equity =  Net income / Average stockholder's equity = $112 / $525 = 21.33%  

d. Earnings per share = Net income / Common shares outstanding = $112 / 46 = $2.43 per share

Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings per share = $50 / $2.43 = 20.58 times

e. Dividends per share = Dividends / Common shares outstanding = $92 / 46 = $2.00 per share

Dividend yield ratio = Dividend per share / Market price per share = $2.00 / $50 = 4.00%

Workings

Beginning retained earnings $346

Add: Net income                            $112

Less: Ending retained earnings   -<u>$366</u>

You need a 35-year, fixed-rate mortgage to buy a new home for $340,000. Your mortgage bank will lend you the money at an APR of
grin007 [14]

Answer: $338712.36

Explanation:

Given the following :

APR = 6.35% = 0.0635

Monthly payment = $1800

Cost of home = $340,000

Period (t) = 420

Monthly rate = 0.0635 / 12

Amount paid on loan = PV of monthly payment :

PMT(1 - (1 / (1 + r)^t)) / r

1800[(1 - (1 / (1 + 0.0635/12)^420)) / r]

1800[ (1 - (1 /9.1764488)) / r

1800[ 1 - 0.1089746] / (0.0635 / 12)

1800 [168.38275]

= $303088.95

Hence, amount yet to pay :

$340,000 - $303088.95 = $36911.05

Hence, balloon payment :

36911.05( 1 + r)^t

36911.05(1 + 0.0635/12)^420

36911.05(1 + 0.0052916)^420

36911.05(1.0052916)^420

36911.05 × 9.1764488

= $338712.36
