Answer:

Increase by $10,000

Explanation:

Calculating current profit

Sales = 7,000 units X $100 = $700,000

Less: Variable Cost, Direct labor $15 + Direct material $40 = $55 each unit

= $7,000 X $55 = $385,000

Less: Fixed Cost = Product level $65,000 + Facility Level = $50,000 = $115,000

Total profit = $700,000 - $385,000 - $115,000 = $200,000

Since the entire production capacity is for 10,000 units and only 7,000 units are produced additional production of 2,000 units is within the limit and will not require additional fixed cost.

Thus profit on sale of these 2,000 units

Sales value = 2,000 X $60 = $120,000

Less: Variable cost per unit of $55 = 2,000 X $55 = $110,000

Profit on these 2,000 units = $120,000 - $110,000 = $10,000

This concludes that <u>profit will increase by $10,000</u> with this order of 2,000 units.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Ms. Langley is 30 years old and has begun a retirement plan that permits her to place monthly amounts of $400 into a retirement vehicle, beginning one month from now, for 30 consecutive years.

When Ms. Langley reaches her retirement at age 60, she expects to live for 25 more years. The interest rate is 6%.

First, we need to calculate the amount of money that she will have at age 60, using the following formula.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= monthly deposit= 400

n= 30*12= 360

i= 0.06/12= 0.005

FV= {400[(1.005^360)-1]}/0.005= $401,806.02

Months= 25years*12= 300 months

Monthly= 401,806.02/300= $1,339.35

Cost of goods sold = $960,839

Explanation:

Preparing cost of goods sold budget:

Number of units to be sold = 20,000 - 675 = 19,325

As for the information provided:

olasank [31]

If expected inflation rate falls, the nominal interest rate also falls.

During a recession, people are more unwilling to borrow funds ,this pushes interest rate down.

If investment opportunities increases, the demand for funds would increase and nominal interest rate would increase too.

I hope my answer helps you
