Answer:

D) the U.S. inflation rate as measured by the CPI was higher than that measured by the GDP deflator, and the difference was explained by rapidly rising oil prices

Explanation:

During the 1970s there was a very strong correlation between oil prices and the CPI. Oil is essential to our economy, since it is used in so many different ways, e.g. fuel, plastics, heating, etc. The oil prices increased from $15.85 per barrel on April 5, 1979 to $39.50 per barrel on March 3, 1980. That is a huge increase (149%) for only one year.

The CPI more than doubled during the 1970s, increasing from 41.20 in 1972 to 86.30 in 1980 (109% increase). It had previously taken 24 years for the CPI to double before that decade. That is a huge increase in inflation even if you compare it to more modern day inflation. The CPI for 2018 was 251, so in the last 38 years it increased by 190% and inflation has been an issue several times in the last decades.

The company used straight line depreciation based on number of units produced. This can be shown as follows:

Cost = $100,000
Life = 5 years or 18,000 units
Salvage value = $10,000

By straight line method;
Depreciation cost per unit = (100,000-10,000)/18,000 = $5

After producing 4,400 units, depreciation expense = 4,400*5 = $22,000.

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

sales $200,000

variable costs $120,000

fixed costs $60,000

desired profit= $50,000

<u>To calculate the sales required to achieve the desired profit, we need to use the break-even point in dollars formula:</u>

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (60,000 + 50,000) / [(200,000 - 120,000)/200,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= 110,000 / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $275,000
