The company expects an annual need for 5,000 switches. If the company makes the product, it will have to utilize factory space c
WITCHER [35]

Based on the cost to produce each unit of the switches and the annual demand, the total costs will be $25,900 more than the cost of purchasing the switches.

<h3>What is the cost of producing the switches?</h3>

This can be found as:

= Variable cost + set up costs + supervisor's salary + opportunity cost of lost rent

= ( (6 + 5 + 4) x 5,000 units) + 45,500 + 41,000 + (3,700 x 12 months)

= $205,900

If they bought the switches at $36, they would cost:

= 36 x 5,000

= $180,000

Its cheaper to buy by:

= 205,900 - 180,000

= $25,900

Kamila [148]
Jan. 1, 2013:
Initial investment = (100 shares)*($30/share) = $3,000.

End of 2013:
Dividend collected = ($2/share)*(100 shares) = $200

End of 2014:
Dividend collected = ($3/share)*(100 shares) = $300

End of 2015:
Dividend collected = ($4/share)*(100 shares) = $400

Returns::
 From sales of 100 shares = ($33/share)*(100 shares) = $3,300
 From dividends = 200 + 300 + 400 = $900
 Total returns = 3,300 + 900 = $4,200

Realized returns = Total returns - Initial inestment
                            = 4200 - 3000
                            = $1,200

Butoxors [25]

Answer: $4.34

Explanation:

The net income for diluted earnings per share will be calculated as:

Net income: $2,500,000

Less: preferred dividend: $300,000

= $2,200,000

To calculate the number of shares goes thus:

Total shares of stock options = 10,000 × 20 = 200,000 shares

Proceeds = 200,000 × $29

= $580,000

Shares of treasury stock will be:

= $580,000/$30

= 193,333 shares

Net shares added will be:

= 200000 - 193333

= 6667

Tge total shares for the diluted earnings per share will now be:

= 500,000 + 6667

= 506,667

The diluted earnings per share:

= $2,200,000/506667

= $4.34
