Dixie is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Dixie is 506 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of unit

n200080 [17]

Answer:

556.6 or 557 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Digby's sales forecast for Dixie = 506 units

Digby wants to have an extra units on hand above and beyond their forecast = 10%

Production units = Sales × (1 + Reserve Percentage)

= 506 × (1 + 10%)

= 506 × 110%

= 556.6 or 557 units

Therefore, the Dixie's will produce 557 units in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

$165,500

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales (4,900 × $90) = $ 441,000

Cost of goods sold (4,900 × $38) = 186,200

Gross margin = $ 254,800

Selling and administrative expenses = $75,000

Net income = $ 179,800

Production costs per tennis racket total = $38

Variable production cost = $25

Fixed production cost = $13

Units produced = 6,000

Contribution margin:

= Sales - Variable production costs

= $441,000 - (4,900 × 25)

= $441,000 - $122,500

= $318,500

Fixed costs = Fixed production costs + Selling and administrative expenses

= ($13 × 6,000) + $75,000

= $78,000 + $75,000

= $153,000

Net income under variable costing:

= Contribution margin - Fixed costs

= $318,500 - $153,000

= $165,500

Answer:

initial outlay $40,000

savings per year = $5,200

additional contribution margin = 2,000 x $2.40 = $4,800

machines useful life = 6 years

1) total annual cash flows (assuming no residual value)

Year₀ = -$40,000

Year₁ = $5,200 + $4,800 = $10,000

Year₂ = $10,000

Year₃ = $10,000

Year₄ = $10,000

Year₅ = $10,000

Year₆ = $10,000

2) to determine IRR we can use a financial calculator or the present value of an annuity formula:

PV = annual payment x annuity factor

PV = $40,000

annual payment = $10,000

annuity factor = $40,000 / $10,000 = 4

3) using present value of an annuity table:

we have 6 periods, and we must look for an interest rate that results in an annuity factor of 4 = 13% (the exact annuity factor is 3.998)

using a financial calculator, the IRR = 12.98%, which we can round to 13%

4) the cash flows will be:

Year₀ = -$40,000

Year₁ = $10,000

Year₂ = $10,000

Year₃ = $10,000

Year₄ = $10,000

Year₅ = $10,000

Year₆ = $20,515

We cannot use the annuity formula now because our annuities are not equal. Using a financial calculator, IRR = 16.99%
