We have that the student gains the same reward completing any one of the three programs; thus the program with the least cost is optimal. We have that the first program costs 38.600$. Nevertheless, we need to also account for the lost opportunity, which is 2000$ per month. Thus, instead of going to the program, the student could have saved 38.600$+6*2000$=50.600$. Now for the 12month program, we have similarly 35.000$+12*2000$=59.000$. Finally, for the 15month program, the calculation yields: 28.600$+15*2000$=58.600$. We see that the best program to attend is the 6-month one (lowest total opportunity cost); despite it being the most expensive one, after completing it the student can make up for it by grabbing the other opportunity and making 2000$ per month (in the other programs, the student cannot work for 6 or 9 months more than this program).
Answer: No. The land doesn't represent a relevant cash flow.
Explanation:
When the proposed project was being analyzed, the land doesn't represent a relevant cash flow.
The land doesn't represent a relevant cash flow as it's a sunk cost and therefore not relevant. Also, in a situation whereby no project is done, then the company will keep the land which means it won't be sold, hence the current market value in this case isn't relevant.
Answer:
1. The firm does not have excess capacity.
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = Variable Cost + Contribution to be Lost
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = $360 + ($600 - $360)
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = $360 + $240
Minimum transfer price on full capacity = $600
Transfer Price = $600 per Unit (Market price per unit).
2. The firm does have excess capacity. Minimum transfer price on excess capacity = $360 per Unit (Standard Variable Manufacturing cost per unit).
Answer:
$149,600
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit = 36+57+3+5 =
Variable cost per unit = $101
Contribution margin per unit = 145 - 101
Contribution margin per unit = $44 per unit
Total contribution margin = 3,400 * $44
Total contribution margin = $149,600
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 14,088 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A company's product sells at $12.30 per unit and has a $5.45 per unit variable cost. The company's total fixed costs are $96,500.
To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= 96,500/ (12.3 - 5.45)
Break-even point in units= 14,088 units
