Factory X manufactures steam cleaners for engines and has a high level of sales variability. The units sell for $3,200 each but

each unit contains about $1,280 in components and direct labor cost. Factory X also keeps the plant open even when sales are low at a cost of approximately $1,000,000 per year. List some examples of fixed costs for a typical manufacturing plant.

Answer:

a. Some examples of fixed costs are; Insurance, utility charges, and Rent.

b. Variable cost=$1,280

c. Fixed costs=$1,000,000

d. Break-even level of units=521 units

e. Break-even level of sales=$1,667,200

Explanation:

a.

Fixed costs are the expenses that do not change with the level of output, while the variable costs depend on the amount of output produced. The fixed costs typically stay the same with the production levels. The variable costs on the other hand change as the production changes.

Some examples of fixed costs in a typical manufacturing plant are;

1. Insurance

2. Utility charges

3. Rent

4. Property taxes

b.

The variable costs are the Material and labor costs, since a higher or a lower level of output will affect the quantity of materials and labor needed. Thus their costs change with the output.

Variable cost=material cost+labor costs=$1,280

c.

The fixed costs=$1,000,000 since they don't vary with the sales. Sales is a direct function of the output.

d. The break even point is the point at which the Revenue from sales equal the costs. This can be expressed as;

Revenue=price per unit×number of units sold

where;

price per unit=$3,200

number of units sold=n

replacing;

Revenue=3,200×n=3,200 n

Total cost=fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

fixed cost=$1,000,000

cost per unit=$1,280

number of units=n

replacing;

Total costs=1,000,000+(1,280×n)=1,280 n+1,000,000

Since at break-even point, revenue equals cost;

3,200 n=1,280 n+1,000,000

3,200 n-1,280 n=1,000,000

1,920 n=1,000,000

n=1,000,000/1,920

n=520.83

n=521

Number of units is approximately 521 at break-even

Break-even level of units=521 units

e.

Break-even sales=price per unit×break-even level of units

where;

price per unit=$3,200

break-even level of units=521 units

replacing;

Break-even level of sales=3,200×521=$1,667,200

expeople1 [14]
There were no choices.

However, to give some points on people with strong finance skills can manage a financial standing. 

They would probably know when to spend or not depending on the cash, savings or earnings that they have. They can have estimations whether they are financially capable of every purchase.  One other thing is they know the difference between a want and a need so they are focused on the needs which are priorities.

Michael Company reports the following account balances at the end of the first year of​ operations: Revenues $ 160 comma 000 Cos
professor190 [17]

Answer:

$46,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total liabilities at the end of the first​ year is shown below:

We know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

where,

Total assets = Cash + land + short term investment

                    = $102,000 + $40,000 + $14,000

                    = $156,000

Stockholder equity = Common stock + net income - dividend paid

                                = $50,000 + 72,000 - $12,000

                                = $110,000

So, the total liabilities would be

= $156,000 - $110,000

= $46,000

Working Note:

The net income is

= Revenue - cost of goods sold - Salaries Expense -  Utilities Expense - Advertising Expense ​

= $160,000 - $46,000 - $21,000 - $11,000 - $10,000

= $72,000
