Problem 18-7A Break-even analysis with composite units LO P4 Patriot Co. manufactures and sells three products: red, white, and

blue. Their unit selling prices are red, $20; white, $35; and blue, $65. The per unit variable costs to manufacture and sell these products are red, $12; white, $22; and blue, $50. Their sales mix is reflected in a ratio of 5:4:2 (red:white:blue). Annual fixed costs shared by all three products are $250,000. One type of raw material has been used to manufacture all three products. The company has developed a new material of equal quality for less cost. The new material would reduce variable costs per unit as follows: red, by $6; white, by $12; and blue, by $10. However, the new material requires new equipment, which will increase annual fixed costs by $50,000.
Required:
1. Assume if the company continues to use the old material, determine its break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of each individual product.
2. Assume if the company uses the new material, determine its new break-even point in both sales units and sales dollars of eac individual product.

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling prices:

red= $20

white= $35

blue= $65.

Unitary variable cost:

red= $12

white= $22

blue= $50

Sales proportion:

red= 5/11= 0.46

white= 4/11= 0.36

blue= 2/11= 0.18

Fixed costs= $250,000

1) To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.46*20 + 0.36*35 + 0.18*65) - (0.46*12 + 0.36*22 + 0.18*50)= 33.5 - 22.44= 11.06

Break-even point (units)= 250,000/11.06= 22,604 units

<u>Sales proportion (units):</u>

red= 0.46*22,604= 10,398

white= 0.36*22,604= 8,137

blue= 0.18*22,604= 4,069

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 250,000 / (11.06/33.5)

Break-even point (dollars)= $757,233.27

<u>Sales proportion (dollars):</u>

red= 0.46*757,233.27= $348,327.30

white= 0.36*757,233.27= 272,603.98

blue= 0.18*757,233.27= 136,301.99

2)Unitary variable cost:

red= $6

white= $10

blue= $40

Fixed costs= 300,000

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)

Weighted average contribution margin= (0.46*20 + 0.36*35 + 0.18*65) - (0.46*6 + 0.36*10 + 0.18*40)= 33.5 - 13.56= $19.94

Break-even point (units)= 300,000/19,94= 15,045 units

Sales proportion (units):

red= 0.46* 15,045= 6,921

white= 0.36* 15,045= 5,416

blue= 0.18* 15,045= 2,708

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 300,000 / (19.94/33.5)

Break-even point (dollars)= $504,012

Sales proportion (dollars):

red= 0.46*504,012= 231,845.52

white= 0.36*504,012= 181,444.32

blue= 0.18*504,012= 90,722.16

Suppose your company needs $43 million to build a new assembly line. Your target debt-equity ratio is .65. The flotation cost fo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Debt = 0.65

Weight = 39.39%

Cost for debt = 2%

Product = 39.39% × 2%

= 0.3939 × 0.02

= 0.007878

Equity = 1.00

Weight = 60.61%

Cost for equity = 6%

Product = 60.61% × 6%

= 0.6061 × 0.06

= 0.036366

Weighted average floatation cost:

= 0.007878 + 0.036366

= 0.044244

= 4.42%

The true cost of the building will then be:

= Funds needed / (1 - Floatation cost)

= $43,000,000 / (1 - 0.044244)

= $43,000,000 / 0.955756

= $44,990,562

Cost is most plainly visible when spending more money on one thing means that less money can be spent on another thing. True or
SSSSS [86.1K]

The given statement about cost is a true statement as cost becomes most obvious when more money must be spent on one thing, leaving less available for another.

<h3>What is the cost?</h3>

A cost is often the value of the money that was expended during the production or delivery of something or service and is now unavailable for use.

Manufacturing, research, retail, and accountancy all make use of this idea. In business transactions, the cost may be an acquisition cost, in which case the amount of money spent to acquire it is considered to be part of the cost.

Finally, cost becomes most apparent when more money spent on one thing leaves less money for another. This corresponds to a true statement.

As a result, opportunity cost describes a decision we must make in order to make another one.

You have $50, for instance, which you may spend on a date with your partner or on your preferred game. The inability to purchase the game is your opportunity cost if you decide to utilize that money to take your partner out on a date.

dexar [7]

Answer:

a. Counterclaim

Explanation:

Counterclaim is a claim by a defendant (the person be sued) against the plaintiff (the person who sues first).

Lyn is the plaintiff, who first sued Karl (the defendant). Karl's claim against the original plaintiff (Lyn) is an example of a counterclaim.

Another example is counterclaim by the city of Sandy Springs against Holder Construction Group, the company that built the city of Sandy Springs’ new City Springs complex.

Holder Construction Group earlier sued Sandy Springs city over disagreements on payments for the work.

The city filed a counterclaim to a superior Court, claiming that Holder Group should be denied payments until all work is done and for breach of contract, negligent construction and fraud.
